Forest Minions
Summary
I really liked the fact that there was no pressure to make a decision when I first came to view the puppies - in fact I was told I couldn’t decide at that point, that I needed to go away and think about it. This made me feel much more comfortable visiting, knowing that I could easily walk away if things weren’t right. When I did come to visit, I knew after a few minutes that I would buy a minion. Your care and love for your dogs is clear to see.

​
1. We are home breeders who don't use kennels, outside buildings or anything that could fall in that nature. All of our dogs and puppies are part of our family.
2. We are licensed to breed and sell dogs under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018.
3. We follow an ethical approach reflecting our values to ensure that the highest possible standard of care is provided to minions and that our puppies got the best possible start before they join their families.
4. We are driven by a passion and commitment to create a positive contribution to the dog breeding world. While doing it so, we are also building a community of responsible owners.
5. We focus on breeding healthy four legged family members. This is achieved through our strict selective breeding. All of our minion parents are subject to strict health checks, hereditary testing as well as any additional testings that may apply such as BVA Eye testing.
Our story
Our story began in 2011, after we've encountered a dishonest breeder which resulted in death of our new four-legged family member. It turned out that cute photos and descriptions were just a deceptive tactic to hide the true origin of our Tilly which passed away due to the Parvo.
​
After receiving a devastating call from our vet practice stating that nothing more could've been done, we've contacted the breeder who simply told us, 'it is just one of those things'.
​
It took us a while to recover from this traumatizing experience which not only gave us a grim reality check about the current state of dog breeding world but also made us realise that some breeders simply don't care.
​
So we've decided to do something about it.
​
And that is how the story of Forest Minions began.
