 Travistock
was established in 1991 in the North West seaside town of
Southport. My first breed was the Rottweiler & although I had
been handling Rottweilers in obedience & working tests since
1984 my first Akita followed in 1994, after having admired the
breed for many years from the ringside whilst showing my Rotts.
I continued to show both Rotts & Akitas until recently, but
now am concentrating on showing my Akitas. We only have one
old lady Rottweiler left now and at 10 years old she still
thinks she's top dog!! After many years of owning large breeds
we wanted a breed that our children could handle & have fun
with. So our first Jack Russell "Hattie" came to live at
Travistock, she was soon followed by our second, "Mini".
Hattie was mated to my friends small red and white male and
Bosch came to join the family.
Travistock endeavours to breed dogs that conform to their
individual breed standards & are sound in body & mind. All of
our breeding stock is sired by champions or from top UK
Kennels. Travistock puppies are home reared & handled by all
of our family, including our children. Our Akitas are hip
scored & eye tested prior to breeding, we insist that all of
our breeding stock have a friendly, happy nature .All our
puppies go to there new homes with insurance, puppy pack,
Travistock Akitas owners guide and kennel club registration
(Akitas only) & life time of support & advise.
Although we enjoy the show scene with our dogs, they are first
& foremost our family pets.
My life revolves around the welfare of all dogs. I'm the
manager of the largest residential dog training school in the
united kingdom, Dog Training U.K. I handle all breeds of dogs
tutor and profile dogs with behavioural problems. I judge both
Akitas & Rottweilers as a breed specialist at open show level.
I hope you enjoy your visit & meeting my dogs.
