Who We Are
Built on Royal Army Veterinary standards since 1996, Barlow Family Dogs is a third-generation team providing professional, farm-based care for every dog.
Our story began over 35 years ago with my father, a veteran of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps. In 1993, he combined his professional expertise with his love for the countryside to start the "Denizes" line—named after Denizes Farm, which has been in our family for three generations. What started with two beloved pets, Kenty and Jess, grew into a legacy of breeding healthy, traditional Labradors and Golden Retrievers.
Originally bred as loyal gun dogs, we quickly fell in love with their amazing temperaments, making them the ultimate family pets. In 2021, the torch was passed to me. While my father now enjoys life in France (though he still drops by to ensure our standards remain "Army-grade!"), I have expanded our family farm to offer premium daycare, boarding, and grooming.
Our Philosophy
At Barlow Family Dogs, we aren't just a business; we are a working family farm dedicated to the happiness of your companions. Whether they are joining us for a holiday, a groom, or becoming a new member of your family, they are treated with the same love and discipline that has defined the Denizes name for decades.
