Description
An exceptional litter of Labrador pups. Our 6th generation of quality working gundogs. These pups will have excellent temperaments and intelligence and will have an abundance of drive and determination. Ideally suited for active homes they will make excellent workers, trialing dogs and pets.
Pups will be KC registered, vet checked, microchipped, wormed and flea'd. They will have had their 1st vacation( Canigen/Nobivac lepto4) you will need to check if your vet offers same brand for the 2nd vaccination. They will come with a copy of KC pedigree, bag of puppy food, piece of bedding and 5 weeks puppy insurance. The new owners will need to transfer the KC ownership into the new owners names.
As both parents of the pups are DNA clear of all 7 genetic conditions required by the Kennel Club this means these pups are Hereditary Clear and can not suffer from or pass on these hereditary conditions.

Kipper was very easy to train and is very biddable. She has a great temperament and very intelligent. Kipper has been a fantastic addition to our team of labradors that work during the shooting season picking up on various shooting estates in North Yorkshire. She is a great all rounder. She is a great picking up bitch but also a great beating dog or a peg dog
Kippers sire is Billy Steel juniors black dog FTCH Harperrig Breac (Col) who won the 2018 IGL Retriever Championship.

Whilst Billy trails his dogs he still works his dogs and they must have the stamina to do a full days picking up in the Leadburn hills near Biggar, Scotland.
Kippers Dame is Marstonmoor Lucy who is also extensively health tested and is sired by International FTCH Beiley Aguzannis of Fendawood the winner of the IGL retriever championship 2016.

🐶 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.
