Mission Statement
When breeding dogs, as independent specialist breeders of both kelpies and heelers, predictability is very important to us.
Our mission at CYPA includes the need for us to be aware of avoiding the risks and the pitfalls of each of the following :-
- Intensive In-breeding or Intensive Line-breeding.
- Breeding from dogs of unknown backgrounds.
Three areas of concern below,
- Health
- Appearance
- Performance
will each be equally important and will be equally relevant to us at CYPA as important quality control matters.
HEALTH

- re breeding dogs & raising pups.
- re awareness of dog health problems.
