Available at stud - Red Button Sunshine (Fizz)
Fizz has a wonderful temperament both at home as a family pet and out as a working gun dog. He has a fantastic nose, a great drive, and is a great retriever. He is an extremely agile and athletic dog and has been a pleasure to train as he is always very eager to please. Fizz is a stunning looking dog, solid red, with athletic build and weighs in at 14kg.
Fizz offers a very impressive pedigree that includes Field Trial Champions Argyll Warrior and Argyll Chieftain, as well as Timsgarry Barlow and Timsgarry Kelly. He has a low Kennel Club Inbreeding Coefficient, and is now working in the field, but remains very much a family dog.
He is proven having sired many litters, and is AMS, FN, PRA-PRCD clear.
Based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
He has also passed his BVA /KC /ISDS Eye Examination and eye gonioscopy with no breed related conditions (Adnexal or Ocular).
He is tested clear for Paradoxical Pseudomyotonia.
I also own his father, Chocolate Button Pride (Dodger), a solid chocolate, proven health tested kc registered dog, who has also passed his eye examinations.
Fizz is a very handsome dog, great fun to be with, proving to be very strong in the field, whilst being a great family dog. He has passed his APGI beginner, novice, intermediate and advanced gundog tests.
Stud fee of £350 payable on first mating, second mating offered 48 hours after first.

🐶 Buyer’s Checklist for Gun Dogs
Whether you’re buying, selling, or studding a dog, it’s essential to take the right steps to protect yourself—and the animals involved.
- Always meet the dog in person at the breeder’s home or kennel—never agree to buy without seeing them first.
- Ask to see the puppies with their Dam (mother), and the Sire (father) if available.
-
Verify all paperwork:
- Kennel Club (KC) registration number
- Date of birth
- Health screening results
-
Prepare questions to ask the breeder. Some helpful ones include:
- Did you breed the dog(s) yourself?
- Can I see where they were bred and raised?
- How old is the Dam, and how many litters has she had?
- Was the birth natural or via C-section?
- Are there any known health issues?
- Can I see documentation for both Dam and Sire?
- Will the puppy be vaccinated and wormed before purchase?
- If something feels off, walk away. Don’t ignore red flags.
- Ask for advice from a trusted third party if you’re unsure.
- Take your time. This is a big decision—don’t rush it.
- Puppies should appear happy, healthy, clean, and curious.
- You should be allowed to see and handle all puppies in the litter, not just the one you're considering.
- Never buy a puppy younger than 8 weeks old.
- Avoid any puppies that show signs of illness—e.g. runny eyes, weakness, or diarrhoea.
- Is the whelping pen clean?
- Do the dogs have access to fresh water, clean food, and adequate space?
- The living conditions can say a lot about the breeder’s standards.
- Ensure you receive the KC registration form and all relevant documents at the time of payment.
- Write up a simple contract to protect both buyer and seller—especially important in case circumstances change.
- Never agree to buy a puppy in a car park or public place. Always go to the breeder's premises.
