Description

Charlie (Hawksgarth Hunter) x Tess (Chartmount Shadow Tess). 

If you would like to be considered to join our list of prospective owners, please get in touch. Tess is a working gundog and a dearly loved family pet, and we’re keen to find the perfect homes for her litter. Please feel free to ask us lots of questions. We plan to provide lots of pictures, videos and updates once the puppies are born and lifetime support for our puppy owners.

Mum, Tess is beautiful and loving fox red Labrador Retriever. She is athletic, intelligent and keen to please. Tess is showing natural ability in her gundog training and, although see works during the season, she is first and foremost a much loved family pet. She is excellent with children and animals and loves people. Her favourite things are retrieving and swimming, but she is as happy chilling at home as she is outdoors. 

Dad, Charlie is an impressive young stud bred from field trial champion working lines with an impressive pedigree and is a field trial award winner in his own right. He is a soft, biddable and hardworking black Labrador Retriever with excellent health scores.

Both Tess and Charlie are small Labradors and so are likely to produce dogs at the smaller end of the scale for the breed. Tess is beautiful shade of fox red shade of yellow, but her mum is very pale yellow. Charlie is black but also carries yellow and so the litter are likely to be a mixture of black and yellow (from pale yellow to deep fox red shade of yellow).

Tess and Charlie are fully health tested and have clear eye and DNA tests and low hip and elbow scores.

Ours is a busy home and there will always be someone with the pups in their first 8 weeks. The puppies will be brought up in the house and therefore used to household noise. They will be well socialised and used to other dogs and children. They will be introduced to crates, car travel, toilet training etc.

Puppies will be fully Kennel Club registered and will come vet checked, microchipped, vaccinated, flea treated and wormed. They will have Kennel Club’s 5 weeks free insurance, and each new owner will receive a bag of puppy food and a puppy pack containing information, a slow feeder bowl, a puppy blanket and much more.

We plan to offer lifelong support and advice for new owners as well as holiday care and boarding if needed. There will be a WhatsApp support group for the litter.

🐶 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.
