We've had 2 puppies in our family from Katrina (one is mine and the other is my parents). I'll be adding another one (hopefully) in the future from Katrina as I'm confident that I will get a superb quality, well socialised and confident puppy. Katrina has always been very accomodating / welcoming. I've met the mums of both our puppies and they are lovely.
I thought it spoke volumes that Katrina didn't take advantage and hike her prices up massively like a lot of other breeders did during lockdown.
We're really glad we got our boys from Katrina. They are well bred, beautiful and slightly bonkers.

We went on waiting list in May 2020 for Jamines litter. From the moment we were accepted after Katrina had made sure we would be good parents, Katrina kept us updated regularly and was happy to answer any question. Obviously this year was different in respect of lockdown but we managed to visit Katrina and meet all her girls inbetween lockdowns and travel restrictions. Katrina showed us all their paperwork and the effort that goes into assuring her girls have fit and healthy babies. Very friendly and came away more than happy. All her girls were well behaved and sweet natured. During the pregnancy kept up to date via the Facebook page which is brilliant and we still keep in touch with pup updates. On the night of birth quite a few of us were up following the progress via the Facebook page. Our girl is a beautiful, healthy and confident puppy who has made our family complete and helped our other standard get over the loss of her lifetime mate. We would recommend Katrina and if we had the space would be on future waiting list. Sands and Dave.

We chose to go on Katrina’s waiting list for a pup from Jasmine after doing quite a bit of research. We could see photos of previous pups and they all looked happy and healthy. Previous pups owners carried on posting photos and Katrina was obviously still engaged with them. It all looked good.
And so we had our Ruby. We were kept informed all through Jasmine’s pregnancy of what was happening. Jasmine was very well looked after by Katrina. We received photos and videos from Katrina regularly about the pups. We were really kept up to date and felt we connected with our pup.
Ruby is now nearly 12 weeks old. She is a cuddly, happy, confident, try anything little girl who has integrated into our family so easily. So quick to learn, so eager to learn. We stay in touch with Katrina and the other owners who had a pup from the litter and know if we ever have any questions or problems we can go to Katrina.
I would recommend Zantescwtch to anyone who is looking for a wonderful standard poodle to be part of their family for life.

We first contacted Katrina in May this year to ask if she had any puppies available and we were so disappointed when she said she wasn't planning any more litters until next year.
We were torn between looking elsewhere and waiting for a Zantescwtch puppy because we had seen via the Facebook page that Katrina was a very attentive breeder who clearly took exceptional care of all her dogs.
We eventually decided we would prefer to wait so we were added to Saffy's waiting list for 2021. However, we had an exciting surprise when Katrina posted to say she would be breeding Jasmine this year.
The wait seemed never-ending but, after a few months, our gorgeous George was born. Katrina kept us all fully up to date with regular photos and videos, as well as a formal weekly photo shoot (which we looked forward to every Wednesday).
We were able to visit Katrina and meet Jasmine and George when he was 5 weeks old. We then had to wait two long weeks before we were able to pick him up and bring him home.
He has been an absolute dream, we love him to pieces. He's so good natured, funny and intelligent. He was house trained within a few days and learned his name, "sit" and fetch very quickly.
His favourite thing in the world is his big brother Toby, although I'm not sure the feeling is completely mutual!
We would highly recommend Katrina to anyone and everyone who is looking for a puppy. If she can't help you then she will be able to point you in the direction of someone else reputable who can and she is always ready to give any help or advice you may need

Natalie & Robert
Robert and I were lucky enough to be accepted onto Katrina's waiting list for a standard poodle puppy. We collected our puppy this December. Luna is our second poodle and loved member of family. Katrina provided regular updates during pregnancy and afterwards. All the puppies come from health-tested parents. She ensured good healthy exposures for the puppies so when we collected Luna, our puppy, she had already started her socialisation and noise exposure. The pack that came with Luna on collection ensured a smooth transition. Importantly Katrina is there for on going advice after you've collected the puppy. She breeds puppies with love, care and great attention to detail. Many thanks

We were so pleased to be lucky enough to have one of Katrina Mcloughlin’s beautiful puppies. Katrina was extremely professional, thoughtful and thorough in all aspects of the process. As first time dog owners we really appreciated all the tips and advice Katrina gave, as well as the regular updates, pictures, videos and information she shared. Katrina brilliantly managed all of the challenges associated with lockdown as well, safely and creatively which meant while we couldn’t physically meet in advance of getting Max, we felt very connected and reassured about the environment the puppies were being raised in and the health of the puppies and their mother (including sharing information on health checks).
We also really appreciated how Katrina was keen to speak to us and understand if we were the right fit for one of her puppies and she deeply cares that they’re going to good homes.
If / when we are thinking about having another dog we will definitely be in touch with Katrina again - thanks for everything Katrina!

TESTIMONIAL
What a fabulous puppy Dottie is and what a wonderful lady Katrina is. After having a devastating experience with my previous puppy I was so nervous about having another, but from the very first call to Katrina my mind was put at ease. Being added to the FB group was amazing as it felt like you were a part of your puppy's life from the very start with all the pictures and videos added almost daily. When you visit your puppy you are made to feel so welcome too. Katrina's devotion to raising the best puppies she can is amazing and I would thoroughly recommend her. Thank you for my lovely fur baby Katrina

Testimonial from Daisy x
At three months old, Daisy, our standard poodle puppy from Zantescwtch is a delight. Katrina has provided us with excellent information and advice throughout including:
Frequent communication through social media on the puppies progress from birth onwards, plus emails and texts.
Regular Facebook updates gave us good insight into Katrina's genuine engagement, good socialisation and interest with the litter as well as the creative environment for them with other dogs, children, toys, paddling pool.
Katrina offered us plenty of time to meet our new puppy and opportunity to ask all our questions about care and future ownership.
We had confidence in the health testing of the puppy's parents and health care record for Daisy.
Very responsive follow-up advice on aftercare once we had Daisy home.
It's been a very positive and happy experience and we would thoroughly recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a standard poodle puppy.

I had been searching for a red standard poodle with a black nose for quite a while on the web and came across Katrina's ad.
So I rang Katrina and this very happy, bubbly voice answered and was only too pleased to answer all my questions and I asked if I could visit that same day.
After spending over two hours at Katrina's lovely home she made me and my daughter feel very welcome. We were introduced to the available puppies and their mum, plus the rest of Katrin's beautiful dogs.
I came away feeling very assured that choosing one of Katrina's puppies was the correct choice.....and boy was I right.
Even though we couldn't visit Archie due to distance because of Katrina's regular almost daily video and photo updates we could still see the puppies growing up and it helped me and the family bond with Archie even before he came home.
Due to Katrina's time and effort and the love and pride she has for her animals Archie and all his siblings developed into beautiful healthy and confident puppies and we are now reaping the benefits.
We have a gorgeous puppy who will grow into a wonderful dog and we love him dearly.

Testimonial from Rosie
We live in Boise, Idaho USA! We were looking for a red standard poodle anywhere here. Everyone I contacted here, the majority of the conversation was about sending money before there was much of an exchange about the puppy. In some cases I would receive pictures of puppies in their environment which in my opinion was less than acceptable. I came across a web site for some gorgeous poodles with a philosophy that much matched ours. Poodles are a part of the household and needed to be stimulated, exercised and care for. They are just as important as any of us plus their care was 100% in the owners hands. I emailed the people at this website in South Wales and was directed to Katrina. When I contacted her I was told yes she was hoping for puppies in March! Perfect timing but the distance was a factor 4,755 miles from her house to ours. However we continued to talk about the puppies and when the big day came is when we decided we need to make this work. From the beginning, Katrina kept us informed with pictures and videos. Even with her life happening with family, kids and pets she always updated us. Every picture and video you could see the quality care these little puppies were receiving. Clean and sheltered and loved. Then as the puppies progressed, Katrina did amazing things at the appropriate times such as playing a CD with lots of crazy noises and tunnels to crawl through and pools with water and balls to splash in. She even directed me to a company called PETAIR UK to ship the puppies if we so decided. We never felt pressured, except for our desire to be a part of one of these beautiful puppies life. The process just unfolded as I always say, at the exact perfect moment. The contract we were asked to sign was about the puppies and the life that was expected for them. Katrina is an exceptional human. Not only completely honest but kind and caring for all involved. We can't express fully how much gratitude we feel for Katrina and this entire process. I did something that everyone advised against..send money internationally for a puppy I've never seen from a person I've never met and we are so, so glad we did. It has been 100% positive. Our little girl arrived June 6, 2017 after an overnight stay in a kennel in London strong and healthy and beautiful! She jumped out of the kennel and has been part of our family from that moment on. She is smart and perfect in every way! Thank you again Katrina for this wonderful heartwarming experience. Rob, Judy and Gracie George

We are delighted with our happy, healthy puppy and are very grateful to Katrina for giving him the best possible start in life. Katrina is a first class breeder and we can recommend her without hesitation.

Thank you very much Katrina Mcloughlin for our gorgeous Louis! He is such a well behaved and clever little boy and that's because of the amazing start you gave him in life.
My partner and I had spent quite a long time looking for a poodle this colour which had come from healthy parents. A lot of the breeders we found had only DNA checked one of the parents or just checked for bare minimum in both. We were very pleased to know that both parents of your litter were fully cleared from everything which is a huge relief but also the actions of a professional and responsible breeder.
So thank you again, he's our baby and we may have to get him a sister next year from you! ☺️

We are so grateful to Katrina for giving us our absolutely loveable and cheeky Rosso. We had made the decision to get a puppy to join our family and had our hearts set on a poodle. When we saw the gorgeous red pups Katrina had, we fell in love. Katrina put such hard work in the first few weeks to ensure the pups had the best start in life which has meant we now have the most intelligent, loving and laid back boy. He is an absolute pleasure to train and has great confidence...sometimes he even thinks he's as big as our labradoodle.
We had regular updates and could contact Katrina if we ever had a question and she will always give great advice. We loved watching the videos of all the puppies and being kept up to date with pictures.
Thank you so much for Rosso. He really is amazing.

Thanks for everything Katrina. From day one it has been great communicating with you. We were really keen to have our puppy come from a house where he was loved properly and taken care of the right way from day one. There were several times that this was made apparent - were one being when you rushed our puppy to the vet after he was feeling ill from his first vaccination. You sent regular updates on this which accompanied with the daily photos/videos from the puppies. It was great seeing him go from day one to week-8. The puppy has a beautiful temperament and isn't scared of our juice blender or other loud sounds thanks to the 'loud sound' CD you played around the house when they were young! We're so in love with our puppy and we're really happy that he came from a loving family. If you ever need a referral from me please do let me know as I'd be happy to endorse Zantescwtch as a breeder.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
