Eight Month Old Golden Retriever Dog

County / Town: North Yorkshire

Description

After much thought here at KanasWold we have decided it's time to see if we can find our gorgeous 10 month old Golden Retriever Dog his forever home. Genuine reason for sale, and that's simply because the plan was to use him as a stud against our breeding girls however the COI is far to high on them for our liking. 

With Magnus only been 10 months old, we feel this is the right time to find him his forever  home as he is past the puppy stage but also coming up to the stage where serious training can be done, and not bad habits have to be undone. His training with us has been very minimal as we are firm believers puppies should be allowed to be puppy's, and enjoy their puppy hood. Also with Golden Retrievers taking that bit longer to mature, we don't like to fry their brains.


Magnus is a loyal, biddable and loving little chap. All he wants to do is please and be around you. He has seen game and been around it ( due to us living on a shoot and my husband being a Headkeeper). 

If you have any most questions, please either email us on KanasWold@outlook.com or text us on 07932 387 810/ 07375 594 810. It's always better to email or text as we can have very bad signal.

🐶 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.

🧠 Final Thought

Buying a gun dog is your responsibility. Do your homework on both the breed and the breeder. Make sure your decision is informed, confident, and in the best interest of the dog.
