Our beautiful fox red labrador Poppy is expecting a litter in May 2025
Here you can find out more about Poppy, her family and her pups
About Poppy
Our beautiful girl is 4 years old and full of fun. She is happiest playing with a ball, surrounded by her family. Her affectionate, loving nature makes her a joy to have around and we wanted to pass that on to the next generation.
We are not professional dog breeders but did our research to make sure she was happy and healthy before starting out on this journey.

Meet the support team
Adam
Adam and Poppy are best buddies. He provides the fun and nonsense and she provides the enthusiasm.
Ellen
Originally reluctant to have a dog but now an unapologetic convert, Ellen was the one who orchestrated us meeting Zac & Elaine and finding Poppy.
Jack
Provider of treats and fellow loon. Poppy adores her human pack mate!
Alfie
As you'd expect from a lab, Poppy is great with kids. These two have a special relationship with much laughter and Poppy is always happy to step in to help out with leftovers
