FTCH Heolybwlch Denman x Heathcroft Kitty – Fully Trained Gundog
Jack is a 2½-year-old, fully trained working gundog with plenty to offer in the field.
He is equally at home sitting quietly on the peg with me on our local shoot or enjoying a walk-up day rough shooting in the woods.
Last season, Jack ran in a number of novice field trials as a young dog and was awarded Guns’ Choice at a novice trial.
Hunting: Jack is an exceptional natural hunter with plenty of drive, style and enthusiasm. He hunts with great determination and is happy working in all types of cover.
Retrieving and handling: Jack is responsive to direction, taking lefts, rights and backs, and is also capable of taking a line on runners.
Temperament: Away from work, Jack has a kind and loving temperament. He is quiet and clean in the kennel and is happy to be kennelled either on his own or alongside other dogs.
Jack is a talented young dog with considerable natural ability and the experience to be a useful addition to a shooting home.
Reason for sale: Unfortunately, Jack can occasionally vocalise when sent out to hunt. I believe it is important to be completely honest about this, as it can be a disadvantage when competing in field trials. This is the reason I have made the difficult decision to offer him for sale.
Genuine enquiries are welcome from those looking for a talented working gundog. Further details are available on request.

🐶 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.
