We are totally dedicated to responsible breeding with lifetime support
Welcome to the homepage of Westmac.
We have been proud Working Line German Shepherd breeders since 2015, and have a depth of knowledge for working GSD's and their pedigrees.
We have travelled the world watching working competitions and training with our own dogs for over 15 years. We have also competed at World Level on two occasions in the sport of IGP with dogs from our kennel, and we love to bring our hobby sport and passion for breeding together in the puppies we produce.
We love to aim for our puppies to be the perfect working partner. We believe in trying to aim to breed the all round GSD, bred for their health, temperament and also working ability. Our aim is to create genetically happy and balanced puppies that their owners can confidently take home and put to whatever kind of life is expected of them, be that as a working partner, or as an active pet.
A good socially balanced dog starts with the right genetics, and at Westmac we believe that breeding from the correct dogs is key to achieve this across all our litters.
All our dogs are our pride and joy, and put quite simply, our life is lived to best suit them!
Responsible Breeding
It has NEVER been as important as it is now that people are choosing to buy from responsible breeders.
Too many people are just putting dogs together and creating puppies for the wrong reasons. Responsible breeding starts with the dogs you choose to breed from, that they are proven and health tested to acceptable standards to help select them as good enough to breed from.
If a breeder isn't producing puppies of a certain standard with an aim or purpose then should they really be breeding?
All our dogs always get the very best of everything, they enjoy regular Hydrotherapy sessions, get the best food, regular grooming and regular trips to exciting places with us so they can be trained in order to test their genetic strengths and weaknesses.
We spend many hours selecting pairings and stud dogs for their genetic potential, and we look at what the strengths and weakness are over our females to try to produce better puppies with every generation.
Once matings are chosen and the puppies are here we are totally dedicated to every single puppy we raise. All our puppies once old enough (4-8 weeks) meet people, have trips in the car, meet all our other dogs, explore outside and hear all the noises of life!
Socialisation starts in the whelping den and it is SO IMPORTANT to make the most of this time!
We stay in touch with all our puppy owners and we are so proud that every single puppy is confident, happy and the apple of their owners eye!
All our puppies come with a full puppy pack, lifetime support for any training issues and a contract of sale. We will stand by every single puppy we breed, and if ever they cannot stay with their owners we insist that they come back to us, true breeders will remain responsible for the lives they create if ever life means that they cannot stay in their chosen home.
If more breeders did this there would be little need for rescues!
Our dogs are our absolute life!
Our day begins and ends with them always, and they enjoy the very best of everything!
All our dogs enjoy regular Hydrotherapy sessions in our very own Underwater Treadmill Unit here on site (WESTMAC CANINE THERAPIES). This not only keeps them in peak physical condition for breeding and competing, but also provides an amazing form of mental stimulation which is absolutely essential in their welfare and happiness too!
Our dogs enjoy running the beautiful fields on our country property.
Exercise and running up and down the welsh hills keeps all our dogs in tip top condition.
We regularly utilise our experience in the sport of IGP to assist us with our breeding choices, this helps us to see our dogs genetic strengths and also their weaknesses too!
By learning all about our dogs we can plan our breeding program to bring the very best to the next generation.
Welcome to our home!
We love to proudly show people our wonderful facilities, when you buy with us you can be assured we do absolutely everything for our dogs and their puppies!
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We are totally committed to nurturing and raising every single puppy as a complete individual, and take time to expose them to as much positive socialisation as we can so that they leave us as confident and happy puppies that people can enjoy taking into all walks of life.
Our socialisation plan includes but is not limited to, noise exposure, machinery exposure, meeting and playing with our nanny dogs, exploring our Hydrotherapy Unit, exposure to all types of flooring, grooming, bathing, brushing, nail clipping, meeting lots of different adults, exposure to positive child interactions, travelling in vehicles and much much more!
Early exposure is just as important as good genetics to creating a happy and confident puppy, please follow us on socials for lots more examples of the work we do with all our litters to give them the best exposure we can!
Our whelping areas are large, spacious, well appointed and designed to provide a clean and easy to keep space for our beautiful bitches to enjoy raising their puppies.
All our areas have been custom designed by us, using our breeding experience, to create functional and totally safe spaces for both bitches and puppies too. Please do view the above video to see our areas for yourself.
All our dogs have been hip and elbow x-rayed, and if they are breed mean average or lower, and bring desirable traits to pass onto future generations of our puppies, they will be included in our breeding program. We take great care to choose pairings that we hope will better the next generation of puppies, and are constantly evaluating what we are producing in order to work on making future generations even better!
We are located in South Wales, around 20 minutes from the Severn Bridge.
Owing to having a high demand, with waiting lists for our puppies, we urge people to always make contact just as soon as they find us if they are thinking of asking us for a puppy.
We firmly believe in quality over quantity, so you may have a short wait until we can pair you to your ideal puppy. Trust us when we say your puppy will be worth the wait!
We tend to have around 3 or 4 litters a year, so most people are able to find a match within around a year of their first enquiry.
All our puppies are sold with lifetime support. We will help you for the duration of your dog’s life where we can, and will always be on hand to help.
Every litter has a support group where you will get to know all the siblings owners as well, when you buy a Westmac you join our family!
All our puppies are fully KC registered, microchipped, wormed and socialised extensively! All puppies leave with a puppy pack including food, toys, blanket with smell from home as well as other items too! Of course all our puppies have our support for life!
