Choosing a puppy is one of the most exciting decisions your family can make, but it isn’t a decision that should be made lightly. You want to know your puppy has been raised with care, handled properly, checked by a vet and matched to a home where they can thrive.
At Perfect Pooches, we are experienced UK dog breeders based at Wheatcroft Farm, East Sussex. We are a family run business with over 15 years of experience breeding and training dogs, and we focus on raising healthy, well-socialised puppies.
We know many families are worried about poor breeding practices, rushed sales and puppy farms. That is why we take time to talk through your options, explain our process and help you decide whether one of our puppies is the right fit for your home.
If you are looking for a puppy from breeders who care about health, temperament and long-term support, Perfect Pooches is here to help.
Choosing UK Dog Breeders You Can Trust
The right breeder should make you feel informed, not put you under pressure. We believe it’s important for breeders to be open about their dogs, their environment, their experience and the support they offer once your puppy leaves for their new home.
Perfect Pooches is regulated by Rother District Council and Wealden District Council, with regular veterinary involvement to support the health and welfare of our dogs and puppies. We provide a clean, caring and smoke-free environment, and we welcome genuine questions from families who want to make the right decision. Our puppies are also registered with the Kennel Club and Pedigree Club, guaranteeing that your puppy is the exact breed you expected.
When someone is considering buying a puppy, we take the time to ask questions and decide if one of our dogs will be a good fit for the family dynamic. This helps us understand your home, routine, experience with dogs and the type of puppy you are hoping for.
We know that a puppy is a long-term commitment, so we want each family to feel fully prepared and confident before taking the next step.

Approved Dog Breeders: What Should You Expect?
When people search for approved dog breeders, they are usually looking for reassurance. They want to know the breeder responsibly breeds healthy puppies and is working to recognised welfare standards.
A responsible breeder should be able to explain their licence status where required, how their puppies are raised, what health checks and vet checks are carried out, what paperwork is provided and when puppies are ready to leave. They should also be clear about the support available after collection, especially for first-time owners who may need extra guidance once their puppy comes home.
At Perfect Pooches, we are happy to talk through our process clearly. We know choosing a breeder can feel like a big step, especially for first-time puppy owners, so we aim to make the process as simple as possible.
How Does A Responsible Breeder Raise Puppies?
Reputable dog breeders do much more than raise puppies until they are ready to leave. Good breeding involves planning, experience, daily care and a proper understanding of each dog’s health, behaviour and temperament.
From birth, puppies need a safe, warm and clean environment. They need time with their mother and siblings, gentle handling and calm exposure to normal home life. These early experiences help puppies become more settled when they move into their new family.
At Perfect Pooches, our puppies are raised with regular care, close attention and professional handling. We focus on healthy puppies who are used to people and ready for the next stage of their life.
Meet Our Dogs!
Perfect Pooches is a family-run business that has been breeding healthy, well-balanced puppies for over 15 years. We prioritise the well-being of both our puppies and our customers, which is why we strive to educate owners and promote balanced respect and safety for pets. Our puppies are raised as naturally as possible with minimal chemicals, pesticides, and vaccines, and are fed a raw diet. To ensure that our puppies are in the best possible health, we use homoeopathic nosodes for immunisation and do not give vaccines before they leave our care due to the risk of adverse reactions in young puppies.
If you’re looking for a brand-new companion for your home, we strongly recommend doing your own research to ensure you find a dog that fits your needs and requirements. We offer a huge selection of breeds to guarantee that you will find the perfect puppy you’re looking for to add to your family. Some of the breeds we have to offer include:
Cocker Spaniel
Cocker spaniels are highly intelligent, adaptable breeds that make great family pets or working dogs. They are the UK’s most popular spaniel breed and the third most popular breed overall. They are excellent playmates for children over 8 years old and are able to adapt to different personalities and environments without losing their sweet, friendly, and obedient nature. With a lifespan of 15 years, cocker spaniels are loyal companions who provide unconditional love and suffer from fewer health issues than other breeds.
Cockapoo
With their intelligent and friendly personalities, Cockapoos make the perfect companion. These clever pups are easy to train and require minimal exercise, making them suitable for small spaces and great first pets for first-time pet owners. Their adorable appearance is enhanced by their soft, fluffy fur which comes in a variety of colours and textures. At Perfect Pooches, we make sure our Cockapoo puppies are raised in a safe and loving environment to ensure they are well-adjusted and ready for their new homes.
Cavalier Spaniel
With a gentle and outgoing personality, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a perfect companion for children, cats, and other dogs. These sweet pups come in a variety of colours and are known for being easy to train and groom, making them a popular choice for first-time pet owners. Despite their small size, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have a lot of energy and should go for walks a few times a day to stay happy and healthy. Whether you live in a small apartment or a large house, these adorable dogs are sure to bring joy and love to your home.
Cavapoo
Cavapoos are a designer breed, a cross between Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Poodles. They can come in different sizes and coat types and colours and are known for their sweet, affectionate, and playful nature. They are popular pets in the UK and are loyal to their households, getting along well with children, cats, and other dogs. Cavapoos may be hypoallergenic, depending on their coat, but they may shed more and require more grooming if they inherit the looser fur of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Maltipoo
Friendly, sweet, and intelligent, the Maltipoo is a perfect fit for any family home. With their hypoallergenic coats and minimal shedding, they are a breeze to take care of, but the Maltipoo is more than just a low-maintenance pet. They come from a rich lineage, with the Maltese hailing from the island of Malta and Poodles originally from France. The Maltipoo inherits the intelligence and playful nature of Poodles and the friendly demeanour of the Maltese, making them an lifelong companion.
Dachshund
With a name that literally means “badger dog,” it’s no surprise that these pint-sized pups were originally bred to hunt small, burrowing animals like rabbits and foxes. But don’t let their rough-and-tumble history fool you – Dachshunds are actually a bundle of love and affection. These charming dogs are known for being extremely friendly with their families, especially children, and although they may be a bit reserved with strangers at first, they quickly warm up and form lasting bonds.
Toy Poodle
Toy Poodles are a popular breed known for their intelligence, elegance, and affectionate nature. As one of the smallest Poodle varieties, they have a curly, hypoallergenic coat that comes in various colours. They are highly trainable and thrive on companionship, making them excellent pets for families, singles, and seniors alike. Toy Poodles are playful and social, getting along well with children, other dogs, and even cats.
What Comes With A Perfect Pooches Puppy?
When you choose a puppy from Perfect Pooches, we want you to feel prepared rather than left to work everything out alone.
Our puppies are vet checked, microchipped and sent home with useful information to help with care, feeding and settling in.
Depending on the puppy and breed, this may include:
- Registration documents (where applicable)
- A contract and puppy care information
- A blanket with the scent of mum and siblings
- Familiar toys and useful starter items
- Grooming or care items suited to the breed
- Feeding guidance and practical owner advice
We also offer ongoing support for our puppies and their owners. If you have a question after your puppy comes home, we would rather you ask than worry.
How Does Choosing A Puppy From Perfect Pooches Work?
Every family is different, so we do not treat puppy enquiries like a quick transaction. We want to understand what you are looking for and help you think through the practical details before you choose.
The process usually begins with an enquiry. You can tell us about your home, whether you have children or other pets, your previous dog experience and the breed you are interested in. From there, we can discuss current or upcoming litters, suitable breed options and what to expect next.
If a puppy may be a good fit, we will talk you through the puppy’s needs, care routine, likely temperament and any important breed considerations. We will also explain collection, paperwork and aftercare, so you know what is involved before making a decision.
Already know which breed you are interested in? Speak to Perfect Pooches, and we will talk you through availability, waiting lists and the next steps.
Matching The Right Puppy To The Right Family
The best puppy for your family is not always the first one you notice. Temperament, breed traits, coat care, exercise needs and your daily routine all matter.
At Perfect Pooches, we breed and work with a range of much-loved breeds, including Cockapoos, Cavapoos, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, Maltipoos, Dachshunds, Toy Poodles and Pomapoos.
Some families want a playful, sociable puppy who enjoys a busy home life. Others need a calmer companion who can settle well with children, older owners or other pets. We can talk you through the breed options and help you think honestly about what will fit.
A good match helps both the puppy and the family. It makes training easier, reduces stress and gives your puppy a better chance of growing into a well-balanced adult dog.
What Should You Ask Before Choosing A Puppy Breeder?
A new puppy can be a significant commitment, so it is sensible to ask questions before joining a waiting list or placing a deposit. A good breeder will never be offended by this: in fact, careful questions usually show that you are taking puppy ownership seriously.
Useful questions include:
- Can I learn more about the puppy’s mother?
- How have the puppies been socialised?
- What checks are carried out before puppies leave?
- What paperwork will I receive?
- What support do you offer after collection?
- What type of home would suit this breed?
- How much grooming, exercise and training will the puppy need?
The answers matter because every breed is different. A Cocker Spaniel may suit an active household. A Cavapoo or Maltipoo may appeal to families looking for an affectionate companion. Dachshunds, Toy Poodles and Pomapoos each have their own care needs, personalities and grooming requirements.
We will always try to guide you towards a puppy that suits your home rather than simply letting you choose by looks alone.
Kennel Club And Pedigree Club Registered
As part of our responsibility to our dogs, all puppies from Perfect Pooches are either Kennel Club or Pedigree Club registered.
Registration gives owners a clear record of a puppy’s parentage and background. This can be helpful if you are looking for a purebred puppy and want reassurance around their breed line, ancestry and recognised breed standard.
For some owners, Kennel Club or Pedigree Club registration may be required if they want to show their dog or take part in competitive dog events.
At Perfect Pooches, we make sure our puppies are registered where relevant and that every new family receives the information they need. Our aim is to help each puppy leave us with the best possible start, and to give their new owners the reassurance, paperwork and guidance needed to help them settle into a happy, healthy home.
Puppies Raised For Optimal Health
At Perfect Pooches, we take the health of our dogs seriously. Our puppies are raised on balanced, raw-food diets that are designed to support their ongoing growth and wellbeing, giving our dogs the best possible start to their lives.
Although we are council-registered and undergo regular veterinary checks, we do not give vaccinations to our dogs due to the risk of adverse reactions in puppies. However, all of our dogs are immunised through homoeopathic nosodes to help boost their immune system and prevent health issues.
