Our Dream

Passionate about Dogs

Our family has always had a huge passion for dogs and it has always been a dream of Pat’s to own a boarding kennels. Pat and her late husband Ian started from scratch alongside Pat’s brother-in-law John who built the first kennels here at Denford Edge. Ian passed away in 2013 and since then Hannah has taken a major role in the business.

Our Dogs

Compete Nationally in Dog Shows

Pat and Hannah own a number of Border Collies and a Pembroke Corgi and travel around the country competing at dog shows. Our dogs are registered under the affix Laceway and have all been very successful over the years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Staff

Knowledgeable with Years of Experience

Our staff are very experienced in all aspects of canine care including college courses, degrees and first aid courses. However, we do strongly believe that there is no better experience than hands on and we are very proud of our long standing staff and the skills they have acquired over the years. Having the same staff also means that your dog’s get to know who is caring for them and build a relationship with us all.

Behind the Scene

Our Team

Pat Fawcett

Owner

My mother grew up on a farm in Ireland and had a passion for all animals. I have had dogs all of my life and competed successfully in high level obedience up until I met Ian and had my children. Whilst pregnant with Hannah we bought Denford Edge with my dream of building and running a boarding kennels. I have a fantastic team of staff that have been with me for many years which has helped create a wonderful environment. I class each one as a member of my family and they have helped make Denford Edge what it is today.

Hannah Fawcett

Kennel Manager

Hannah

I have always helped out in the kennels from a young age but started full time when my father became ill. I have never known anything other than being surrounded by dogs and that along with the many hours of research has given me a very good understanding on the exact care our dogs need.

I enjoy learning about the veterinary side of care as much as I do anything else. In my spare time I travel across the country showing my own dogs and have won many top awards over the years.

We also work with Beryl at Albery Dog Rescue and look after her dogs. For more information about this great rescue centre…
