About the O Litter

It was planned that they would be born in New Zealand once we had emigrated, but once this became impossible because of travel restrictions around the coronavirus, they were born in Norfolk UK.

By combining Dora’s superb hunting skills with the conformation and temperament of promising young sire Bodi, puppies will be well suited to working homes and perfect family dogs.
