Tania has had dogs all her life, growing up with Long and Short Haired Collies, owning Samoyeds at the start of her relationship with Tony, to eventually taking in their 4 rescue dogs; Alfie (the Official Mascot of BPC), Maisy, Storm & Phoebe.
Tania has a particular fondness for Storm, a Kokoni cross from Greece. She and Tony found homes for numerous Greek rescue dogs through an affiliated programme at our previous location in Wythenshawe - some of which still regularly attend daycare!
Tania is a firm believer of "happy dog, happy owner" and strives to achieve this motto in her business as well as with her own dogs.
