About GunDogsDirect

GunDogsDirect is a UK marketplace for gundogs and gun dog equipment. Breeders, trainers and owners advertise puppies, part-trained and trained dogs and stud dogs here, and buyers contact them directly. The business has traded since 2002, and the site has been at gundogsdirect.co.uk since November 2008.

It was founded by Glen Goldthorpe and is run for people who work their dogs. There are 440 dogs advertised right now, and the site takes over half a million page views a month from people looking for working dogs.

What we do, and what we don't

We're an advertising site. We don't breed, sell, supply or transport dogs, and we don't handle the payment for a dog or hold deposits. Every sale is agreed directly between buyer and seller.

Advertising a dog costs £12.99. A standard advert runs for 90 days and a stud advert for 12 months. A piece of gun dog equipment costs £2 to list. There's no commission and no monthly fee. See Pricing.

Keeping it safe

Seller phone numbers and emails stay hidden until a buyer registers or logs in, so they can't be scraped off the page. Breeders can add their council licence to their account, and once we've checked it their adverts carry the Verified Breeder badge with the licence number and council. Read more about Verified Breeders and our buyer's checklist.

Anyone can report an advert using the Report advert link on it. Adverts that break our rules are removed.
