Comments about our pups

"I would like to say how absolutely delighted we are, he lives life to the max, has such a great character and is (nearly!) always a joy."
Annie Dawon - Hungarian Wire Haired Vizsla pup 2018

"Thank you for raising such a beautiful, confident and happy pup"
Bryonie Glanfield - German Shorthaired Pointer pup 2016

"Thanks once again for all your help you were a pleasure to deal with and we are so happy with him."
Paul Carlisle, German Shorthaired Pointer pup 2016

"Thank you for breeding such a wonderful pup.  I have been really impressed with yourselves.  I feel that you have exactly the right ratio of professionalism to personal, friendly, touch."
Kerrie Hughes, Springer Spaniel pup 2014

"We were delighted with the service we received from Bluebell Country Kennels. Sue and James were very friendly and professional, and the facilities and surroundings are first class. Being our first puppy, we did our research and chose Bluebell as they were registered on the kennel club website and their own website answered all of the questions we had in the first instance.   The puppy pack was very informative and useful, and the offer of advice and future contact with Bluebell if we needed it was reassuring and a kind gesture - a lot of people we know who have bought puppies have not experienced this!  We would definitely recommend Bluebell - we have a fantastic, friendly and healthy puppy with a wonderful temperament. Our family and friends have been so impressed with her relaxed and well mannered nature that several have asked for contact details of the breeder. Thank you Sue and James!"
Amy and Chris Harris – Labrador pup 2013

"Thank you very much for your help with choosing Llew and the smashing way that you both dealt with the five of us.  You have a great set up and made everything so easy for us. Needless to say the puppies and your standards of care etc are all exemplary and you're both a pleasure to deal with."

Vicki, on moving out of the area, 2020

"Our dogs have been coming to you for nearly 9 years now. You are exceptional. They are always happy, relaxed and so well looked after. They love their hols with you, it’s a real home from home for them. We know that they are safe and really well cared for. There have been occasions when you have gone beyond when looking after them, not least this last time with Codi’s foot. We are so pleased we found you all those years ago. You are committed and dedicated and deserve your success. Thank you for being the best."
