It might be unique to know who's who in the family line, but living on the island helps. Social ties are kept and puppies and their parents lives are followed with interest. It is important to us to know who will be the new owners of our pups. We don't expect to follow their progress, unless their owners keep in touch. What we would insist on is; Should a puppy of ours need re-homing for any reason up to the age of two we would be happy to take it back or assist in finding a new home.
