Description

Arduinna Witch Hazel of Damsongrove x Watergreen Nelson of Kelmarsky von Ravenstag

This stud, Kai, comes from incredibly successful Kelmarsky kennels in Ireland with the wonderful FTCh Kelmarsky Crow as the pups grandsire. FTCh Kelmarsky Crow is a multi champion and placed numerous times in the Irish Retriever Championship and Kais half brother is the 2022 Irish Retriever Championship winner.

Kai is a gentle giant. A very large, powerful red labrador with natural hunting ability and very driven with a level head and biddable when it comes to training. Kai has an incredibly kind nature, and has a future in trialling in the UK. Kai won a novice working test in the first run with his new handler in the UK. In his first few runs out in tests he’s come away with placings. 

Luna is a very flashy hard working Labrador. She will put her paw to anything I throw at her. She hunts like a spaniel in the beating line (not afraid of cover) which has passed into her previous litter. She is able to switch off and sleep out wildfowling or be driven and an incredible game finder out picking up. 

Fun facts about this pairing;

Kai has proven himself with previous litters, with 2 of his progeny competing at open level at 2 years old in Ireland. Most recent litter, a pup has won a puppy test first outing with a novice handler, further proving the trainability and natural workmanship of this line. 

Luna’s previous litter are proven in the field, and her temperament has passed through into a therapy dog. 

I am breeding this litter to keep at least 2 pups back myself to supplement our kennels. Pups are due mid May and will be ready to go to their new postcodes late summer (August) depending on birth date

🐶 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.
