National Breeding Centre
Our new National Breeding Centre will allow us to increase our capacity to breed puppies from 1,100 to 1,500 a year. In addition it provides modern facilities that will enhance dog and staff welfare and provide much better facilities for our volunteers. The new centre also allows us to cater for large groups of visitors and show them where life begins for a guide dog and how these life changing animals are bred.
You can find out how the centre was built by clicking through the links to the left of this page on facts, photos of build diary, history and information for visitors.
The new centre will allow us to increase our capacity to breed puppies from 1,100 to 1,500 a year which is a key part of our ambition to get more blind and partially sighted people out and about.
Guide Dogs has bred puppies in Bishops Tachbrook from Tollgate House since 1968, and with this fantastic new facility we’re looking forward to continuing that tradition for many years to come.
