Description
We are delighted to offer a beautiful litter of black Labrador puppies, bred for their exceptional temperament, intelligence, and versatility with proven gun dog pedigree.
- Outstanding pedigree with 26 Field Trial Champions
- Both parents fully health checked
- Kennel Club registered
- Vet checked before leaving
- Raised in a caring, family environment
Their mother, Peggy, is a calm, loyal working gun dog and much loved family pet who is always eager to please. Peggy works many days through the season and is a reliable and calm retriever whose strength and determination means she can retrieve in the most challenging circumstances. She is a pleasure to have on the peg and she is always quiet and patient.
Their father is Apollobay Bones of Countryways, a stunning, jet-black Labrador known for his kind nature, strong working ability, and excellent lineage. Again, Bones, is an exceptional working dog who regularly picks up part of the Countryways team in Gloucestershire.
We also have Piper who is a 2-year-old full sister to view — showing the lovely temperament and trainability you can expect. The combination of these two excellent parents has produced a biddable, eager to please youngster who has already shown excellent talent in the field.
These puppies will be well socialised and make fantastic family companions or impressive working dogs.

🐶 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.
