⭐ We’ve Achieved Our Outstanding 5-Star Licence Again!

We’re incredibly proud to share that Bluebell Springers has once again been awarded an Outstanding 5-Star Breeding Licence following our most recent local authority inspection.

This inspection covered every aspect of our operation — animal welfare, accommodation, enrichment, health protocols, record keeping, policies, and overall standards of care — and we’re delighted to have maintained top marks across the board.

What a 5-Star Licence Really Means

A 5-star licence isn’t just a badge — it’s recognition of consistent, proven excellence over time.

It means:

Dogs are housed in clean, safe, enriching environments

Physical and emotional welfare is prioritised at every stage

Health testing, veterinary care, and monitoring are rigorous and transparent

Puppies are raised with careful early socialisation and individual attention

Administration, policies, and record-keeping meet the highest professional standards

In short: dogs come first, always.

Why This Matters to Us

Breeding responsibly isn’t about volume, trends, or shortcuts. It’s about:

Knowing every dog as an individual

Making thoughtful, ethical decisions

Being accountable — even when no one is watching

Maintaining an Outstanding rating takes daily commitment, continual learning, and a willingness to be inspected thoroughly and openly. We welcome that scrutiny, because it reflects how seriously we take our responsibility.

Thank You

Thank you to:

Our inspectors for their professionalism and fairness

Our vet team for their ongoing support

And our wonderful puppy owners, whose trust means everything

If you’re considering a Bluebell Springer, you can be confident that your dog’s journey starts with care, integrity, and high welfare standards at its core.

Here’s to calm minds, happy, capable dogs — and confident owners. 💙

✨️ While Bluebell Springers is a small, hands-on breeding programme, I’m personally involved in every aspect of daily care. Maintaining these standards isn’t about inspections or ratings — it’s about doing right by the dogs, every single day. ✨️
