Description

we are very excited for this litter

Cassie is a lovely bold girl, very nice picking up bitch that knows her job inside out, she is a pleasure to have and handle 
She has had a litter previously that have matured into nice biddable dogs, our keeper pup had a look out on a few days picking up last season and took everything in his stride and will be entered into his first working tests this season 

Luther is a very impressive, he has a lovely big solid frame, signature drakeshead head and a very good nature, his owner has had good success with him in working tests and he is a key member of her team of picking up dogs 

Puppies are raised in our home , we put a lot of time and effort into getting them off to a good start and it pays off, puppies tend to leave us crate trained, house trained  and confident happy puppies ready to fit right into their new environment, we have received lots of lovely reviews and comments from those that have purchased a puppy from us in the past 

Luther is dominant black so we expect a fully black litter 
Both dogs are fully health tested meaning puppies will be hereditary DNA clear

🐶 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.
