What people say about us

Since we spoke Brodie has slept through every night. Thank you.

Went to our vet to register Brodie, the vet was full of praise for his condition and all of the steps you had taken. And said "you obviously found a first class breeder"................ ......We did.

Thank you so much

As first time dog owners,  we had spent time researching all the dos and don'ts, but we were still nervous and had many questions and didn't necessarily know what we didn't know! After an initial enquiry I had a phone call and then several video calls with Jason and Lisa and I started to feel more confident that we were making the right choice. I had many, many questions, but all were answered with encouragement and the assurance that there were no stupid questions. We could see the puppies on video being cared for and getting lots of new experiences. When we went to collect our puppy Layla, we had plenty of time to relax, to ask more questions and we also took away lots of information on her upbringing and on next steps.

We left with the assurance that we could contact them at any time and were encouraged to do so. One year on, and oh my goodness we have learned so much. I see now that we have been so fortunate to have such caring and dedicated breeders, and I can assure you that Jason and Lisa give so much to new and existing owners. I realise now that all their work giving Layla new experiences in the early weeks was key to the type of dog she has become and having now seen the process, dedication and love that they put into each litter I can attest to the difference it makes. As they promised, I have been in touch on the phone and submitted videos several times to help with training and always have received practical guidance and encouragement. I'm so very grateful that Jason and Lisa gave Layla such a great start in life, and that they are there if we need them.

It is with immense joy and gratitude that i write this testimonial for the exceptional Silver Labrador Retriever we aquired from Lisa & Jason. Our beloved Zen, a vibrant and spirited 5 year old boy, has not only brought immeasurable happiness into our lives but has also exceeded all expectations.

From the very moment Zen entered our home, it was evident that he was going to be more than just a pet; he was a cherished member of our family. His delightful temperament, boundless energy and unwavering loyalty are a true testament to the care and dedication that your breeding program instils in each and every dog. Zen exhibits not only impressive physical attributes but also a gentle demeanour, making him a joy to be arround for adults and children alike.

We extend our deepest gratitude for the meticulous attention to detail that you put into breeding these incredible animals. It is evident that you not only breed for conformity to breed standard but also for the overall well-being of the dogs, ensuring they are equipped to thrive in loving homes.

Thank you for providing us with a furry family member who has become an inseparable part of our lives. We whole heartedly recommend Jason & Lisa to anyone seeking a furry friend of exceptional quality and temperament. Your dedication to breeding os truly commendable, and we are so grateful for the positive impact Zen has had on our lives.

Jason and Lisa have been the perfect breeders for our dog Rex. We couldn't have asked for better and more caring owners to bring him up before we brought him home with us. It's so reassuring to have Jason advise us when we have any questions or queries about his training or behaviours. If you are thinking about getting a dog through Blackfordash Dogs, then go for it. We couldn't recommend them enough. I could go on and on about how supportive and helpful they have been but it is better to say thankyou for all the time and expertise you have given us to make owning Rex a dream. It`s lovely that we have kept in contact and I will continue to do so for the future. Thank you again for all your efforts and hard work.

It has been over a year since we welcomed Poppy into our family, thanks to the exceptional care and expertise of Jason and Lisa. Poppy was a decision made with considerable thought, recognising the significant commitment involved. Poppy wasn't just a pet; she represented a profound step for our family, taken at just the right moment.

Having known Jason and Lisa for several years, their extraordinary approach to animal breeding and care was already apparent to us. Their facilities are nothing short of outstanding, and their care for animals is remarkable. This excellence is a testament to their character as individuals - genuinely wonderful people deeply committed to animal welfare.

My background in working and studying horse behaviour has led to many insightful conversations with Jason about animal behaviour and training philosophies. My experience was primarily with larger, more assertively trained dogs, as a contrast to Poppy's calm and sensitive disposition. This difference made Poppy's integration into our family a unique journey for us, requiring a nuanced approach to her training and care.

Poppy, now approaching 18 months old, has developed remarkably. This transformation can be attributed to the clear boundaries and training techniques implemented from the start, guided by Jason. Their advice on crate training proved invaluable. This aspect of her training became significant in her interactions with our young child, fostering a mutually respectful relationship.

The support provided by Jason and Lisa extended beyond just initial training. They were always available for queries regarding nutrition, obedience and general care, becoming not just advisors but also friends. Their continuous support over the past year has been instrumental in shaping Poppy's happy and confident personality.

Jason's keen eye and insightful suggestions have been particularly beneficial. His ability to spot nuances in Poppy's behaviour and offer tailored advice has been a cornerstone of her positive development. The training methods we adopted, focusing on fun and positive reinforcement, have not only helped Poppy but allowed our daughter to safely and respectfully interact with her.

One significant decision was to establish clear spatial boundaries for Poppy, particularly concerning our living space and interactions with our cats, facilitated by thoughtful preparation has been a joy to witness.

Transitioning Poppy to a raw food diet, another step guided by Jason and Lisa, has also contributed to her well being. Poppy enjoys a balanced life with ample stimulation, play, and quiet time, all within the framework of well-established rules and boundaries.

Reflecting on this journey, it's clear that without Jason and Lisa's guidance, our experience could have been vastly different. Their expertise not only aligned with but also enhanced my underatanding of animal training. Poppy's development into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted dog is testament to their dedication and skill.

From the bottom of my heart, I extend my deepest gratitude to them both. Their commitment and support have been invaluable, profoundly impacting our lives. Poppy is more than we could have ever hoped for, and her wonderful life is largely thanks to Jason and Lisa's care and guidance.

I can highly recommend Blackfordash Dogs. Our beautiful Cocker Spaniel, Frank was born in December 2022 and we first brought him to his forever home in March 2023.

From the moment we brought him home he was a clever, content puppy, full of confidence and quick to learn, which is down to the amazing start in life given to him by Jason and Lisa. They spend so much time acclimatising the pups to everyday sounds and experiences and by the time he came home nothing really phased him.

What makes their business extra special is that they are on hand at any time to offer advice about training, give guidance and reassurance and not just in the early days but any time you need it!.

Blackfordash Dogs is clearly far more than just a business for Jason and Lisa, their care for each and everyone of their dogs is clear to see and I am so glad we chose them to get our gorgeous puppy from.

Jason and Lisa were fantastic when we were looking to get a puppy, they gave us honest straight forward advice and helped us choose the right dog for us. Our dog is now three years old and we still speak to Jason regularly with queries on training and he is always ready to give expert advice. There are lots of breeders that will happily give you an eight week old puppy and wave goodbye - that is asolutely not the case here. We will hopefully get another dog soon and it would only be from Jason and Lisa. Thank you again

I bought a puppy from Jason and Lisa in 2019 and we have stayed in touch ever since. When i first responded to their advert and spoke to jason on the phone, I immediately arranged to go and see their puppies the next day. Mum and puppies were in the kitchen, very much part of the family, and Jason and Lisa made us feel very welcome. We spent ages there, chatting about the puppies, our other dogs, dogs we had loved and lost and felt we had made new friends. We were able to ask any questions we had, whilst interacting with the puppies and their beautiful mum. After the first meeting I was sent regular photos / videos / updates of my puppy, and invited to visit as often as I wanted. We went several times, taking my dad the next time, allowing me to bond with my puppy before finally picking her up and taking her home.

It is obvious how much Jason and Lisa love their dogs - both mums and pups - and are sad to see them go and want to stay in touch. Lisa even baths and gives the dogs a puppy groom before they go to their new forever homes, and you are provided with a blanket with the smell of their mum, a favourite toy and a beautiful puppy blanket. I was even given a blanket with my puppy's smell on to allow our other dogs to get used to her smell before she came home. Daenerys had been microchipped, wormed and fully vaccinated before she came to us, and had a socialisation chart showing the experiences she had had.

Lisa set up a facebook group for owners of the pups from the same litter to stay in touch, where Jason and Lisa also contribute. I know if I had any questions about my pup's health / behaviour or needed any advice at all, that I could call Jason and he would give me any advice I need.

I can't recommend Jason and Lisa highly enough - so much so that my mum returned the following year to choose her own puppy! She received the same excellent care, and mum has also contacted Jason for advice on several occasions.

We have 2 Cocker Spaniel puppies from Jason and Lisa.

First off you dont buy a puppy from Jason, you join the Blackfordash family. Jason is always available for advice on training, feeding, health or anything dog related. Lisa is always first to comment on a post on your litters Faceook group. They really do mean it when they say it is a two-way life-long commitment.

From first enquiry through to collecting your puppy Jason will keep you informed with videos and messages. Obviously, all the basics are covered vet checks, vaccination (full course and kennel cough) microchip registration, socialisation, KC registration, puppy insurance and much much more.

Jason and Lisa's first and main priority is the welfare of their dogs. When you visit their facility that is abundantly clear.

We wouldn't consider going anywhere else and neither would our friends who have had pups from them on our recommendations.

We have had pets all our lives, mostly rescue but always for life.

So when my 50th started to loom on the horizon it felt like the time was right to treat ourselves to the dog we had always wanted (A Cockapoo). A friend recommended Jason and Lisa and gave us the number, we went to meet them, had a tour of their amazing set up and met a litter of Cockapoo's. Right from the start we could just tell that Jason and Lisa were very different from anyone we had bought a puppy from before. The amount of love, care, compassion, knowledge and dedication that they displayed just blew us away. Many visits and lots of questions later we arrived to pick up our chosen puppy. Normally that would have been the end of the process, but not for us! Jason and Lisa have continued to provide any help, information that we have needed and continue to do so. This has enabled us to  be the best dog owners we can be. I can't believe how lucky we have been, they live and breathe their calling totally. Our puppy is now 9 months old and I can't imagine life without him now.

So if your looking for a puppy what are you waiting for!! Get in touch with Jason and Lisa, you'll be blown away just like we were. 5* people.

After searching for the perfect dog for many months and not having much luck. We found Jason and Lisa and we are so thankful that we did. Our beautiful puppy Olive is so perfect for us. Jason and Lisa put so much effort into breeding Blackfordash dogs and it really shows. We get compliments everywhere we go.

Olive has the most amazing temperament, so calm and loving, an absolute delight to have around. Not only have they given Olive the best start in life with diet and socialisation, but they are constantly available on the other end of the phone for any advice or training tips, which has been invaluable.

We couldn't have asked for better breeders for Olive. Many thanks again to Jason and Lisa.

I Has A Very Sick  Puppy Through Saturday Night who had a dreadfully upset tummy which knocked the hell out of her. I want to thank Jason who I got Hattie from for his advice and support yesterday which was great and saved me having to visit a vet. Jason pledges to be there for any problems or worries you may have throughout the dogs lifetime and I was so very grateful. Needless to say, the little madam is back to her usual batty, boisterous self today.

Thanks so much Jason.
