We had our Elsa on the 6 November 2014 from Brooknant. The sweetest, kindest, incredibly intelligent and funniest of mini schnauzers. A constant companion to our only child, they were inseparable - the bestest of friends. Unfortunately we lost our precious pup a month ago. She suddenly became unwell and fought hard to stay with us for weeks but one day it all became too much and she passed away peacefully in our daughter arms - the only place she wanted to be. She didn’t have a bad bone in her body and that we put down to good breeding. At the moment it’s still too raw but when we are ready we will be back to Huw and Joy at Brooknant as their thought and care for their dogs is unquestionable. Why would we go elsewhere when they gave us the best. 100% would recommend Brooknant Kennels.

It's been a week since we brought home our beautiful F1 male Cavapoo puppy from Brooknant, and we couldn't be happier. From our very first enquiry through to bringing our puppy home, Hugh has been absolutely fantastic.

We had two visits to Brooknant before collection and received regular photo updates, which made the whole experience even more special. It was clear from the start how much care, dedication, and expertise go into raising the puppies. The facilities are wonderful, and the puppies truly have the best possible start in life.

The difference this makes is evident in our puppy. He is happy, healthy, confident, and has settled into family life amazingly well. After just one week, he is already nearly fully toilet trained, which is a testament to the excellent foundations Hugh provides.

Hugh is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about every puppy he raises. He took the time to answer all of our questions and provided us with all the information and guidance we needed to feel confident as new puppy owners. The entire process was smooth, professional, and reassuring from start to finish.

We are absolutely over the moon with our puppy and cannot recommend Hugh and Brooknant highly enough. If we were ever looking for another puppy in the future, we wouldn't go anywhere else. Brooknant is truly exceptional.

Wishing Hugh and family a Merry Christmas for 2025.

14 years ago we brought Heidi from you Hugh she is still fit and well , hope you are as well .

We came home with our Cavapoochon puppy Betsi in May 2025. Hugh was very knowledgeable and answered all our queries and was ready to impart advice. Betsi settled into our busy family life immediately. Clearly she has been well socialised and toilet trained. She has a lovely temperament and is brilliant with both my children and elderly parents. She has already travelled up to Scotland for a holiday with us and to various sailing events across the country. She is very easy going and full of fun. Most of all she loves a good run and splash on the beach. I would highly recommend Huw and Brooknant Kennels. We have a very happy, healthy and sociable pup who has slotted easily into our family. Diolch :)

Maddie is now a lovely 7 months old miniature schnauzer and from day one has been a complete joy to have. We feel that this is due to the start that she had with Hugh. She settled from day one with no trouble feeding or training.
She socialises with dogs and people. Her personality is bigger than her size! Now she likes running on the beach and also up in the woods. She is obedient and comes when called - most of time!
Thanks also to Hugh for the care taken when we collected Maddie. Nothing was left to chance concerning her well being once we took her home. we even had an e mail the day before reminding us of her second vaccination.
Thank you again Hugh .

Maddie is now 7 months old and has been a joy from the time we fetchedvhet on March.
She settled in from day one and we feel this is duecyo the start she had in her life with Hugh

We have recently purchased 2 beautiful Cavapoochon pups from Hugh. Can't recommend him highly enough. All professionally done and happy healthy pups collected and settling into our home beautifully. One very happy family x Thank you Hugh

Hugh is by far the best breeder we have ever dealt with. We chose our little Cavapoochon from the litter when they were four weeks old. We had to wait four weeks before we could pick her up. In that time we went on holiday. Whilst there Hugh sent us video clips of our puppy who Denise had named Poppy. We spent hours watching Poppy getting up to mischief with her siblings. They were all clearly happy and healthy. Poppy is now part of our family and we are so pleased we chose Brooknant Kennels. She is clearly happy and a constant source of joy to all of us. If you are looking for a happy and healthy little puppy to join your family you could do no better than visiting Hugh at Brooknant Kennels.

Well here is Jenson 7 years old this weekend, he is the most wonderful boy so loving and wants to please, picked him up Aug 2018, Highly recommend brooknant kennels amazing breeder and amazing temperament puppies and dogs,
