Maelea Forrester

Based in Poulton-le-Fylde, this dog breeder works with Maltipoos, Pumis and Coton de Tuléars. Its approach is informed by more than 30 years of experience with dogs, including positive-reinforcement and clicker training, puppy classes and behavioural support for dogs facing difficulties. Breeding is undertaken with the aim of supporting and improving the chosen breeds. The kennel is recognised by The Kennel Club as an Assured Breeder and holds a local-authority breeding licence. Dogs are not bred before the age of two and only when considered ready; health testing follows Kennel Club guidance, alongside additional tests regarded as important. Adult dogs live in the home as family members, and puppies are raised there from birth. Litters are reared according to Puppy Culture principles, with particular attention to gradual socialisation and preparation for family life. The breeder remains available to offer guidance and support to puppy owners after their dogs leave for their new homes.
