Description

We have two black boy pups still available. 

We are offering two black male Labrador Retriever puppies from a carefully planned litter that combines the steadiness of show lines with the drive and reliability of working stock. These pups are calm, biddable, and highly trainable—well-suited to both experienced working homes and families seeking a loyal, intelligent companion.

Dam: Bryntail Sierra (Rhubarb) – Rhubarb is the ideal blend of workability and reliability. She has worked in both the beating line and picking up, demonstrating consistency and focus throughout the season. At home, she is calm, affectionate, and a true companion—she goes everywhere with us. Her previous litters have produced dogs now working full seasons, as well as thriving in first-time dog-owning households. Sired by FTCH Arklebear Caribou, Rhubarb is fully health tested with good hip and elbow scores.

Sire: Globetrotter Lab’s Valley at Brigburn (Del) – Del is a classic, old-fashioned Labrador with a thick coat, boxy head, and otter tail. He has worked full seasons and brings a gentlemanly calm to everything he does. His show lineage adds steadiness and composure, making him an ideal match for Rhubarb. He is fully health tested with strong hip and elbow scores.

Puppies are being raised in a home environment with careful attention to early socialisation. They are scheduled to receive their first vaccinations on 13th October 2025.

🐶 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.
