Puppies 2012

Even though breeding is a hobby for me I do take the responsibility seriously. I like to place my puppies, both Shepherds and Munsters, in appropriate homes. Both breeds are energetic and intelligent and enjoy lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Munsters in particular enjoy nothing more than to be cuddled after a busy day. If you have the time and energy to give a Crumpsbrook pup a home do come and visit us, something I encourage everyone to do. I will not take a booking for a pup without being sure of the future home.

Because I do not breed many litters it enables me to have the mum and babies in the house. Our lounge has a split level, the bottom 1/2 becomes the maternity wing for the duration. When the pups are old enough they meet the rest of the family, our other dogs, chickens, ducks, cats etc. This means the pups leave here totally used to a home environment and all the associated noises (vacuum, T.V, visitors etc.). They are also well on their way to being house trained. All the babies are microchipped, have food parcel to start them off, insurance and a contract of sale plus written advice on vaccination, worming, feeding and socialising. I breed my puppies because I am proud of the job I do and confident they leave me happy, confident and capable of becoming happy, balanced family members.

The Kennel club introduced an Assured Breeder Scheme to ensure good breeding practices, giving prospective owners the best opportunity to bring home a healthy well adjusted puppy. This sets a standard which I am delighted to be a part of.

Mum – Crumpsbrook Acacia (Cassie)

Cassie is a very special girl, she has inherited her mum’s (Willow) laid back temperament and both her and her mum are adored by everyone how comes into contact with them. She is incredibly bright and has a very affectionate nature. Munsters love the outdoor life, long walks,swimming and then coming home for a cuddle of an evening and Cassie is no exception. She has an incredible ability to relax by the side of the show ring or in company with other dogs/people but then turn on the ring presence when needed. See show record.  I do feel it is important that Munsterlanders do not lose the ability to able to perform as hunt point and retreive dogs. With this in mind, before Cassie was mated she obtained her Certificate Of Natural Aptitude. Cassie has the best hip and elbow scores possible, 0 0 hips, 0 0 elbows and full-fills all the demanding Large Munsterlander Club health check requirements. I really searched hard for a stud dog that lived up to her high standards.

Dad – Tanzenbach Water Boatman (Harry) - Hip score 3/5, HUU Clear, HC Clear 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011.

Harry full-filled my criteria. He is 10 years of age and still so sound which bodes well for the long term health of their prodgeny. He has a fantastic character. He is a stunning boy and his show record speaks for itself – 14 Challenge Certificates, 9 Best Of Breeds and 15 Reserve Challenge Certificates. Click here for Harry’s pedigree. Harry lives with his mum Helen in Kent and is absolutely adored.
