Klancraig are a small family kennel based in Shropshire. We are not commercial breeders. Puppies may be occasionally available to carefully selected homes. Taking on a GWP puppy (as with any puppy) is a big responsibility, as is finding the right homes for those puppies. When our puppies go to their new homes, we like to keep in touch with our ‘puppy people’ and follow the development of our babies. We offer lifetime help and advice to our puppy owners. All our puppies are registered with the Kennel Club ‘Progeny Not Eligible for Registration’ and this is to protect our puppies from ending up with puppy farmers and indiscriminate breeders who do not know and understand the lines from which they are breeding and have no intention of offering any backup support. These people exist and are responsible for many of the dogs who appear in GWP Rescue.
Puppies will be reared in our home and well handled by our children and will therefore be accustomed to the hustle and bustle of family life. They will be ready to go to their new homes at eight weeks of age. When they leave they will be tattooed and have six weeks free insurance which we strongly recommend that you continue. They will be accompanied by a Contract of Sale (a written agreement between Klancraig and the new owners), the Kennel Club Registration Documents, a Fact Sheet on the care of the new puppy, a comprehensive Diet Sheet, the book ‘The BARF Diet’ written by Dr Ian Billinghurst and a generous supply of food – probably enough for the first couple of weeks.
If you are interested in a puppy from us, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your enquiry. If we do not have a puppy available for you we will do our best to point you in the direction of a reputable kennel from which puppies might be available.
Bronte's Litter 2007'
In April 2007 Bronte (Sh Ch Kimmax Kiss and Tell for Klancraig JW) presented us with a beautiful litter of thirteen bonny babies (four boys and nine girls) sired by Plumley (Abbotsbourne Piccadilly JW). Bronte’s puppies were raised in our home and handled by our own young children. All of them have now left for their new homes; some have gone to show homes, some to working homes, one to an agility home and some as family companions but each home has been carefully selected since first and foremost we wanted our puppies to go to permanent, loving homes.
Our puppies were raised on a natural raw diet, no commercial puppy milk formula, no puppy porridge or ‘complete’ biscuit (see the Dog Care Page for further details about raw feeding) and we are delighted to say that most of our puppy homes intend to continue to feed their new family member this way.
