** Update Only 6 puppies left - 1 bitch 5 dogs **
My beautiful working gundog Bess, has had a gorgeous litter of 8 yellow puppies. 5 dogs and 3 bitches.
This litter is Sired by FTW Gunnerspeg Drummer of the Gunnerspeg Gundogs. He is the
Grandson of FTCH Asterix Aguzanis of Chatsworth on his sire line and he is a grandson of FTCH Brocklebank Navigator of Chatsworth and FTCH Drakeshead Casey on his bitch line.
Drummer is owned by Simon Capstick, one of the top gundog trainers in the country.
Drummer has won numerous awards and will be completing for the championship next season in 2024. Check out his awards, health checks, pedigree and picture at:
The Dam is my working gundog bitch Bess. (Princess Bess of the Heath) Bess’s dad is FTCH is Cluanie and grandfather is FTCH Astraglen Hail (Ash), two fantastic dogs from Wedgenock Gundogs - Steve Richardson.
Bess’s mother (Libby) is a working gundog on our Shooting Syndicate.
Drummer and Bess are both Kennel Club registered and each side of the parentage from this litter carry an abundance of Field Trial Champions in their respective 5 generation pedigree history. All puppies are KC registered.
Bess is an excellent example of a working Labrador. She is highly intelligent with beautiful temperament. She was an absolute dream to train. Not only is she my working companion on all aspects of running our shooting syndicate, she is our family pet at home.
For her working background, I have personally trained her on all aspects of a working Labrador's duties, this includes working in a beating line, formal peg work, picking up, decoying and hide work with shotgun. I have trained her to respond to voice, whistle and signal commands. She is excellent in and across water. Bess works on our family run shooting syndicate with many of her cousins and relations. She hunts hard and thrives on the challenges presented to working gundogs. Steady with livestock. She can do anything I ask of her as a working gundog.
As a family pet, she is fantastic around the house and is incredibly soft and gentle with children of all ages.
My planning for this litter should give the puppies the ingredients to achieve the highest of standards at any level in the working gundog and trialling world but they should also make beautiful, biddable friends for those looking for a loving family pet.
I planned this litter in order to continue my line. I shall be keeping a puppy from this litter so my selection was deliberately designed to give every puppy the very best of everything a Labrador needs.
Having seen the quality of other puppies sired by Drummer and knowing he was from a totally different line to Bess’s FTCH grandfather Ash, I had no hesitation in using Drummer as the Sire to this litter. I am not a breeder, purely a gundog owner that has produced a litter in order to continue with my proven lines.
Drummer has a fantastic future and will become one of the top working gundogs in the country, with a fantastic reputation in the trialling world.
Sire and Dam have a well-proportioned, athletic physique in line with the excellent working history and proven family genetics from both lines of their respective pedigree.
Both parents have an amazing hunting nose, fantastic soft mouth, natural game finding ability and a stamina to satisfy the most dedicated and demanding owner.
The puppies have been brought up in a family environment which should give them a superbly grounded start. We have monitored the weight and growth of each puppy from birth to date. Mum and pups have been wormed with Panacur at each recommended period.
Puppies were born on Thursday 21st March and will be 8 weeks old on 16th May.
All puppies come with KC registration and a 4-week puppy pack as well as free insurance.
Non-refundable deposit of £412.50 (25%) secures your puppy with balance to be paid on collection.
I am happy to discuss keeping a puppy with me for slightly longer if anyone was considering having a puppy and already had holiday or other commitments arranged that could cause a problem.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, I can send additional photographs.
