We practice Optimal Breeding Practices to help us reach our goal to breed puppies that are temperamentally, physically, and genetically sound and, therefore more likely to become a better fit with your lifestyle.
We are registered breeders that operate under the mandatory Code of Practice set out by the Victorian State Government and are a fully licenced Domestic Animal Business. Our Domestic Animal Business Licence Number and our Source Number can be found at the bottom of this page.
We are extremely excited and proud to announce that our kennels are approved by the Victorian Agricultural Minister. In order to receive approval from the Victorian Minister we had to undergo a very lengthy process including a 6 hour audit conducted by 4 Victorian Animal Welfare Officers and the Chief Veterinary Officer of Victoria before the Agricultural Minister of Victoria considers granting approval. This process is necessary to ensure that Victorian Minister Approved Kennels are operating at the very highest of Animal Welfare standards. Learn more about our kennel facility Hepburn Park
Our Comprehensive DNA Disease Testing includes testing for over 30 different genetic diseases that affect dogs.
We believe that it’s absolutely vital that breeders are experienced and educated in animal genetics to ensure they have the expertise to carefully study and understand their dogs genetics. Michael from Chevromist Kennels is always our first point of contact before we plan a litter of puppies. Michael has been involved with breeding dogs for over 30 years. Along with that hands on experience, he completed his degree in Animal Science with a focus on Genetics, then went on to complete his Honours work in immunology through Melbourne University’s Dept of Medicine and the CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory. We are extremely fortunate to have Michael as an integral part of our team.
“As breeders, our clients depend on us to make ethical and scientifically-based decisions. Understanding the basics of genetic selection is an invaluable tool when developing a breeding program.”
