Legislation and code of ethics state that each breeding female may have up to 5 litters in their lifetime and must not have more than 3 litters in any two-year period.

Breeding Females must be retired from breeding prior to the age of six years. Male breeding dogs should be retired at 6 years of age unless a veterinary breeding clearance certificate has been obtained. Our breeding pets at Gramayre consist of 4 female breeders and one male entire. We prefer to focus on a maximum of 4 females rather than 10.  Only having the four breeding females allow us to focus extensively on each individual litters health and well-being and ensure that we obtain the best of homes for each puppy.

Here at Gramayre Groodles we understand that it is a privilege to be in a position to be able to breed such exquisite pets for others to enjoy.  We don’t take this responsibility lightly as registered members of (RPBA) Responsible Pet Breeders Australia, Membership Number 13210.  Our code of ethics follows the strict guidelines of the RPBA code of Ethics and a link containing the code of ethics is available on our web site.
