Description

1 bitch left from a litter of 10

I live and work on our mixed arable family Farm, located in Oxfordshire. 
However I also have a strong passion for training/working gundogs. In the winter, I’m out three days a week picking up at multiple shoots in the area. 

WINE MERLOT OF PITTFIELD (Dam)

Bonnie is a key member of my team, and is definitely one of my more manoeuverable and steady dogs. She displays characteristics like a spaniel being able to get into thick cover and bushes but without the crazy energy. She has by far the nicest temperament I’ve ever known and has a caring, gentle personality which makes for the perfect for a house pet. 

MEONVALLEY MURDOCH OF MAHALO

Murdo originated from Scotland where he grew up and became a FTW. Before he was purchased by one of my gundog training friends, which I’ve had the pleasure of watching and working with last season. He displayed great intelligence, execution and precision when being handled in the field. However, is a very gentle and sensitive and in many ways very similar to Bonnie, Making a great family pet. 

Both dogs are:

DNA tested, Eye tested and Hip/Elbow scored.

🐶 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.
