Zarcrest was established in 1968 and breeds Miniature Longhaired Dachshunds and American Cocker Spaniels, they are based just a couple of miles from the Shropshire borders of Wales within the UK.  Their guardianship has always been simple, and that is to breed the very best possible within the guidelines of the UK Kennel Club breed standards, which have been bred for breed type, temperament, health, and quality.

This is a passion originating from a families hobby and most certainly not a commercial enterprise, They strive that the health and welfare of that passion is the very best that it can be, with an emphasis on quality and not quantity always.

Over the past five decades Zarcrest has won many awards at Championship Show level with their show dogs,  they can boast over 30 Champions to date,  which includes awards such as Championship Show Group Winners, Group Placed Winners, Puppy Group Winners, BPIS and RBPIS Winners, CC Winners, RCC Winners, Eukanuba Champion and Puppy Stakes Qualifiers and finalists, double European Titleholders, American Cocker Speciality Winners, Alpensieger’s, Benelux  Junior Winners, Centenary International Winners, Centenary National Winners, and Annual Champions.
