From the first time we messaged Lily about a litter she was so knowledgable, helpful and kind, sharing information but also regularly keeping us updated. We couldn’t imagine having got a puppy from anywhere else, and already want another!

We can’t recommend Lily as a breeder enough! She was so lovely, informative and supportive throughout the whole process. She kept us regularly pup-dated with photos, videos and updates from the vets, and even let us visit Nala for a second time before bringing her home.
She gave us lots of helpful information about Cocker Spaniels and made us feel really prepared for becoming puppy parents. Nala also came home with the cutest little goody bag, which was such a lovely touch!
We’re so grateful for all the love and care she put into raising Nala. We absolutely adore our little girl!

We have now had the pleasure of welcoming two very special dogs into our family through Lily. Nancy, our Labrador, three years ago, and more recently Jasper, our Cocker Spaniel.
From the very beginning, Lily has been absolutely wonderful to deal with. She was incredibly patient while I took my time deciding whether the time was right for a second dog, never once making me feel pressured, and was always there to answer my endless questions &demands for photos with kindness, honesty and professionalism.
What has stood out most to us with both Nancy and Jasper is their fantastic temperaments. They are both such happy, affectionate, confident dogs, and it is clear how much thought and care Lily puts into raising her puppies before they go to their families.
Bringing a puppy home is a huge decision, and having a breeder who genuinely cares about where her puppies are going makes such a difference. Lily has continued to be incredibly helpful and supportive even after they have come home, and we have always felt that we could contact her if we needed advice or reassurance.
Three years apart and two completely different breeds, but the same experience, two amazing dogs who have brought so much happiness to our family.
We honestly couldn’t recommend Lily highly enough. ❤️
Nancy & Jasper
