All our pets and puppies will be raised and live in the home. We plan only 1 to 2 litters a year, and this is not every year. In
order to provide the puppies with the attention they need and deserve. All our puppies are raised with love and individual
attention. All our breeding stock will be x-rayed for hemevertebrae and only self-whelping bitches are used. Our puppies are
small, cobby and with an excellent temperament.
All are KC registered and insured.
We are careful to ensure that our puppies are being placed in caring, quality homes and ask that potential buyers make a life-time
commitment to their new puppy. Potential owners must have the time, ability and facilities to care for there new arrival long
term. Our puppies are sold only to families that will have their puppy live inside the house with them as a part of the family.
We hope that all of our puppy placements are permanent, but in the unfortunate event that the new owners are unable to keep
their puppy or dog for any reason, Jessygaff pugs & Griffon's are always welcome back to our Home.
We never have a litter to order, only if we want a new addition.
Jessygaff Puppy Promise
Here at Jessygaff our philosophy is that every puppy
we rear deserves a fun, kind and loving family for the whole of its life, with this in mind we do our best to rear happy healthy
and outgoing puppies, and look to select kind and caring families for them all. Our web site is dedicated to all the dogs
bred and owned at Jessygaff - and we our delighted that many of our puppy owners have become friends, and continue to keep
us updated on their dogs lives for all its life.
We rarely breed - and therefore it is unlikely that you will be able
to phone and 'buy a puppy off the shelf' but this is as it should be - a careful decision, wisely made taking into account
all the pros and cons of having a dog share your life.
As someone who has had dogs all her life and been around
them & we know how much joy they can bring and hope that by careful planning we can help you share your lives with our
puppies. But only once I have got to know you.
We do not breed puppies commercially - but as a pleasure, with
a dedication to the health and well being of our breeds. We do not breed any specific colours - or fashions, simply Our aims
are to breed healthy happy examples of the Pug & Griffon Breed. Who conform to the breed standards. The facts that we
have had some success in the show ring and I am a chairperson and president of Dog training clubs, is a bonus, and I am happy
to support any new owners in what ever hobby they choose to adopt with their dog.
Is your home suitable?
We
do not sell to homes where people are at work all day - remember a dog is a pack animal which needs company - your family
will form its pack - and it will not be a contented dog if everyone is away all day every day. Also how can you house train
a pup which needs to pee every hour until about 4-5 months of age! if you are not there.
Both breeds require
a lot of care and grooming. The pug will moult - the griffon if rough coated needs hand stripping . can you and your hands
& hoover cope.
Both breeds are active mentally & physically - are you?
Interviews
The
right home and family for Our pups is of paramount importance to us - are you happy to come to Lincolnshire and undergo an
interview as a whole family - not once but twice or more - to prove your commitment to the breed? Are you happy for us to
visit you at home and see that your home and environment suits the breeds?
Breeding
Our aim
is to breed quality not quantity. We have traveled far to try to ensure that I only breed from the best males for our girls
taking into consideration temperament, type and conformation plus health. Some of my puppies will be from imported lines simply
to try and ensure that new fresh blood is available when required.
Rearing
All puppies are
reared in the house (our dogs are house pets not kennel dogs) - and this ensures that they are well socialised and lively
fun puppies. We have one son and young children within our family unit - so = the pups are socialised with children from an
early age.
They are left with the bitch as long as she wants them - and then weaned onto a top quality food is provided.
They are given noise stimuli in the from of a CD of sounds to learn to accept firework, cars, thunder etc. As house
dogs they soon get used to noise of normal family life (if you can call my life normal!)
As far as the weather permits
they are given regular access from 4 weeks of age to the garden to try and encourage them to learn to be clean in the house.
They are wormed with Panacur regularly before leaving home.
They are groomed regularly and their nails clipped
so these are accepted practices for when they move to their new families.
Sale
I do not take deposits
for my puppies until you have met them a few times and we are both 100% sure that they are right for you - I ask for a holding
fee, this way there is no formal commitment on both sides, although I am more than happy to put interested family's
names on my waiting list once I have met you and liked you.
All our puppies are sold subject to a satisfactory home
visit - coming here to look at the litter does NOT guarantee a purchase.
All puppies are sold with a puppy contract:
The puppies will be registered with the Kennel Club
The puppies parents will be H.V Clear / DNA Tested
The
puppies will be vet health checked before leaving our home and a Vets letter or Cert will be provided to you. The puppies are
KC Reg and have 6 weeks Puppy insurance, and DNA Profile tested.
The Kennel Club papers will be endorsed
puppy not for export and progeny not for registration - this protects my pups from unscrupulous people who may wish to export
to unsuitable homes or breed from these dogs irresponsibly. In our contract we add a note that should the dog be of good quality
(our decision) and H.V Clear tested and of satisfactory to breed from / then we may lift the endorsement for breeding.
We
rarely export my pups as I cannot check out their new homes! But if I do its to people we no / or friends who know them well.
We do not sell puppies as potential show winning stock - they are all pets to be loved. We our happy to help advise
on your hobby and help you choose a pup which may suit your hobby - but puppies are not widgits and there is no guarantee
that a promising puppy will turn into the show winner of the future.
Support
We give unconditional
support and advise for any puppy we breed & we place our puppies into their homes carefully and this protects them from
people who only want a puppy as a novelty for the immediate future. BUT if circumstances change our contract requires that
you return you puppy/adult dog to us , so we can ensure that any further homes in which it is placed are checked out with
just as much care as when it left here as a puppy. We do not wish to see our puppies passed from home to home, or left for
months on end in a rescue centre. (We can provide references from past puppy buyers)
So you want a puppy
Well
first you must make sure you have seen the breed in the flesh - but if you give us your address I am sure we can suggest a
way for you to meet the breed. Visitors are always welcome to us in Lincolnshire- I would rather you decide now that the breed
is not suitable for your family than buy a cute puppy and then decide its not suitable after 6 months.
Agree to meeting
us here in Lincolnshire and not minding the personal questions about your lifestyle
Agree to a home inspection
Then
just wait patiently until the puppy is born
