A History of Swillyvalley

SWILLYVALLEY WAS ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED AS A PROFESSIONAL SHOW KENNELS BY MARY ANN ANDERSON.

 SINCE 1975, MRS. ANDERSON HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN SHOWING, BREEDING, AND JUDGING OF DOGS AT NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL LEVEL. 

SWILLYVALLEY HAVE HAD MANY DIFFERENT BREEDS OVER THE YEARS SPECIALISING IN AUSTRALIAN SILKY TERRIERS, YORKSHIRE TERRIERS, IRISH WOLF HOUNDS, OTTERHOUNDS, BEAGLES, CHINESE CRESTED, NORWEGIAN ELKHOUNDS, AND MORE RECENTLY PORTUGESE PODENGOS.

            'SWILLYVALLEY' NORWEGIAN ELKHOUNDS ARE FAMOUS AROUND THE WORLD HAVING PRODUCED THROUGH OUR BREEDING LINES, CRUFTS, IRISH, ENGLISH & INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONS.   

IN THE LATE 1980'S THE SHOW KENNELS ALONG WITH A PURPOSE BUILT CATTERY, WERE EXTENDED TO OFFER BOARDING ACCOMMODATION TO THE PUBLIC.

SINCE 2010, THE RUNNING OF SWILLYVALLEY HAS BECOME A TEAM EFFORT, WITH MRS ANDERSONS DAUGHTER LESLEY TAKING THE 'LEAD' IN THE DAY TO DAY RUNNING OF SWILLYVALLEY AND THE CARE OF THE GUESTS. 

AT SWILLYVALLEY WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON OUR SAFE, HYGIENIC AND SPACIOUS ACCOMMODATION, THE FRIENDLY WELCOME WITH WHICH WE RECEIVE ALL OUR 'HOLIDAYMAKERS', AND THE LOVING CARE WE GIVE EACH INDIVIDUAL PET. 

WE AIM TO PROVIDE YOUR PET WITH A 'HOME FROM HOME' DURING THEIR STAY, ENSURING THAT EACH GUEST RECEIVES AS MUCH CARE AND ATTENTION AS THEY DO FROM THEIR OWN 'FAMILY'!  WE HAVE MANY SATISFIED FRIENDS WHO RETURN TO US YEAR AFTER YEAR.
