Description
We are writing this with very heavy hearts as we are faced with the incredibly difficult decision of finding a new home for our lovely boy, Bryn.
Bryn is 11 months old, an entire male, currently weighing 10.35kg and in excellent health. He was fully checked over by our vet yesterday. He is a very athletic, energetic young dog with a strong working drive.
Over the last few months we have worked with an experienced local gundog trainer and have been doing his basic training. However, we have come to realise that although our lifestyle is reasonably active, we simply cannot give Bryn the level of work, stimulation and outlet that he needs.
This is an extremely difficult decision for us. Bryn has been part of our family for the last 9 months and we love him very much. We have not taken this decision lightly, but we genuinely believe that finding him somewhere that can meet his working needs could be the most responsible and loving thing we can do for him.
We are therefore hoping to find someone within the beating, picking-up or wider country sports community who has the time, experience and opportunity to give Bryn a fulfilling working life.
Bryn is: • 11 months old
• Entire male
• 10.35kg
• Excellent health
• Very athletic and energetic
• Strong working drive
• Raw fed
• Has had one-to-one training with an experienced gundog trainer
Above all, we want a loving and genuine home for Bryn. We cannot stress this enough. We are not simply looking for somewhere for him to go and work. We want him to be loved, cared for and treated as part of the family, with the opportunity to work and have his natural drive properly channelled.
We would want to speak at length with anyone interested and take the time to make absolutely sure that Bryn and his new family are the right fit for each other.
This is heartbreaking for us, and the thought of saying goodbye is incredibly hard, but if we can find Bryn a home where he can truly thrive and have the life he needs.

🐶 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.
