Handpost

Handpost is a dog breeder based in Witham, with more than thirty years of experience owning and breeding several established breeds. Its programme encompasses Border Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers and working English Cocker Spaniels, bringing together terrier, retriever and working spaniel lines within one smallholding. The breeder's dogs all live on the smallholding rather than being kept at a separate location. Handpost describes them as happy, sociable and in good health, presenting this shared environment as a central feature of the way the dogs are housed and cared for. Recognised by Maldon District Council, Handpost combines its long history with a clearly defined focus on the four named breeds. Its presentation emphasises continuity over three decades, the dogs' friendly temperaments and their everyday life on the breeder's smallholding in Witham.
