Bellevue Doberman Work Kennel

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I able to buy a pup from Northern ireland and bring it straight to the UK mainland?

Yes, you can bring a pup from NI directly to the UK mainland

Will the vets in the UK ask about my puppies tail being docked

YES,, 8 out of the last 10 pups i sold to England the vets wanted to see proof that the puppy was indeed born in Northern Ireland and then the vet checked into the paperwork before he would touch the pup,This is a good thing as it stops people from pretending to live in Northern Ireland so they can illegally dock pups and sell them at inflatted prices.

If i buy a pup in NI will it be registered with the UK kennel club?

Yes, all our pups can be registered with the UK Kennel Club

If I buy a pup AND ITS MOTHER & FATHER HAVE cropped ears will my pup be born with cropped ears?

No, dont be so dumb

Is it legal to crop ears in Ireland?

No, its illegal

Are you the only breeder of european import pups in Glengormley/Belfast

No a friend Sonya also breeds good european pups,if you see adverts from anyone else they are lying and trying to sell farmed poor quality pups at inflated prices.Anyone wanting a docked puppy should go through the Northern Irish Dobermann club for advise

I see breeders advertise legally docked pups how can we check they are legally docked or the breeder is telling the truth?

When you go to buy a legally docked puppy, advertised from Northern Ireland, contact the NI doberman club to confirm the breeder is known to them or contact a few other breeders in NI and ask them about the breeder

Will your pups be docked?

Yes my pups will be docked as i live in Northern Ireland and am a registered breeder,when the new law is passed in march 2012 that bans tail docking i will move my kennel out of Northern Ireland to insure my pups will be legally docked, anyone can come and visit me and my dogs at my home in Belfast anytime throughout the year

What about health tests?

My dogs have health tests but Loads of people advertise pups with health test from the parents, the health test they refer to are mostly hips & eyes. This just means the hips and eyes are good when tested it does not tell you how healthy the dogs are. We know loads of dogs 'with health tests' that are not healthy. Yes, they might have good hips and eyes but most dogs dont die from from bad hips or eyes nor does it mean the dog or its pups will live healthy long lifes.

If I buy the dearest puppy advertised will I get the best pup?

NO, you will just have let someone talk you into spending to much money on a pup and have encuraged them to breed & breed just for the money.

Will you let Rubin be used as a stud dog

NO,my rubin will only mate my females or my good friend michaels females

If we buy a pup from you and it doesnt work out or we cant handle it will you buy the pup back.

NO,,This is not Currys and a dog/pup is not a TV,If you get a pup from me i expect you to have the pup for life,If the pup doesnt work out for you or you cant handle it we will try to rehome it for you but we will not buy it back.Any expences occured while the dog is with us or until we rehome it will be the liability of the pup/dogs owner
