Breeders Directory

 

MASCGB Breeders earn accreditation by only breeding with fully health tested dogs and complying with DEFRA legislation on the care of their dogs and rearing of puppies in the home.

MASCGB Breeders undertake a thorough and extensive health testing programme for all breeding dogs and only breed from dogs within acceptable breeding parameters.

MASCGB Breeders are all fully Licensed Breeders where required and are in compliance with DEFRA Breeding regulations. These regulations state very clearly that a bitch should only have one litter within a 12 month period and MASCGB strongly prohibit any breach of this government legislation by their accredited breeders.

MASCGB Breeders will only accept you for a waiting list following a vetting procedure. Our accredited breeders are small breeders with a passion for the breed and all their dogs are family pets first and foremost.
