Tamaruke Puppies

Giving Every Puppy the Best Start in Life

Bringing a puppy into your family is one of life's most rewarding experiences. It is the beginning of a friendship built on trust, companionship and unconditional love.

At Ellington, we believe that exceptional companion dogs don't happen by chance. They are the result of thoughtful breed development, responsible breeding practices and providing every puppy with the very best start in life.

For more than 40 years, the Tamaruke Breed has been carefully developed with a focus on health, temperament, intelligence and suitability for modern family living. Every puppy born at Ellington represents another generation of that commitment.

Every Puppy Has a Story

Long before a Tamaruke puppy is born, careful consideration has gone into every aspect of the breeding program.

Health, temperament, structure and genetic diversity are all important factors in selecting future generations. Our objective has always been to produce calm, confident and affectionate companion dogs that integrate naturally into family life.

Each litter is raised with the understanding that every puppy will become a much-loved member of someone's family.

Early Development Matters

The first weeks of a puppy's life play a significant role in shaping its future.

During this important developmental period, puppies begin to explore the world through their senses, build confidence and develop social skills. Positive experiences during these early weeks help create resilient, adaptable and well-adjusted adult dogs.

At Ellington, every puppy receives individual attention and age-appropriate experiences designed to encourage curiosity, confidence and emotional stability.

The Tamaruke Puppy Conditioning Program

One of the unique aspects of raising Tamaruke puppies is our Puppy Conditioning Program.

This carefully developed program introduces puppies to many of the everyday experiences they are likely to encounter in family life. The aim is to help each puppy approach new situations with confidence and curiosity.

As puppies develop, they may be introduced to:

• Gentle handling by a variety of people.

• Different indoor and outdoor environments.

• Everyday household and rural sounds.

• Basic grooming experiences.

• Collar and lead familiarisation.

• Early crate introduction.

• Positive play and exploration.

Every experience is introduced thoughtfully and at an age-appropriate pace, always placing the welfare and confidence of the puppy first.

Raised at Ellington

Life at Ellington provides an ideal environment for puppies to grow and develop.

Surrounded by open spaces and everyday rural activity, puppies experience a variety of sights, sounds and environments while continuing to enjoy plenty of time for rest, play and interaction.

This balanced approach helps lay the foundations for calm, confident and adaptable companion dogs.

Health and Wellbeing

Responsible breeding extends well beyond the day a puppy is born.

Every Tamaruke puppy receives comprehensive veterinary care and ongoing monitoring throughout its early development.

Before joining their forever family, puppies receive:

• Comprehensive veterinary health examinations.

• Age-appropriate vaccinations.

• Microchipping.

• Parasite prevention.

• Individual health monitoring.

• Guidance to help families continue their puppy's successful development.

Our goal is to give every puppy the very best opportunity to enjoy a healthy and happy life.

Choosing the Right Tamaruke

Every family is different, and every Tamaruke has its own personality.

We take the time to learn about your lifestyle, experience and expectations so we can help match you with the puppy and size best suited to your home.

The Tamaruke Breed is available in four recognised sizes:

Paddymelon12–14 inches • Estimated adult weight 6–8 kg

Miniature15–17 inches • Estimated adult weight 9–12 kg

Medium18–20 inches • Estimated adult weight 13–18 kg

Standard21–24 inches • Estimated adult weight 19–26 kg

Selecting the right size is just as important as selecting the right puppy, and we are always happy to guide families through the process.

Preparing for Your New Companion

Bringing your puppy home is an exciting milestone.

Before your Tamaruke arrives, we recommend preparing:

• A comfortable sleeping area.

• Food and water bowls.

• Safe toys and enrichment activities.

• A secure outdoor space.

• A routine for feeding, training and rest.

• Your local veterinary clinic.

To help make this transition as smooth as possible, every Tamaruke family receives our comprehensive information and advice package, developed from decades of practical experience.

Support for Life

Our commitment to every Tamaruke family continues long after a puppy leaves Ellington.

We believe ongoing support is one of the most important parts of responsible breeding. Whether you need advice on nutrition, or general care, we are always available to assist.

Watching Tamaruke puppies grow into confident, loving companions is one of the greatest privileges of what we do.

More Than a Puppy

A Tamaruke puppy is more than a new addition to your home.

It is the beginning of a lifelong friendship, built on generations of thoughtful breed development, careful early nurturing and a genuine commitment to producing exceptional companion dogs.
