Description
We are PASSIONATE about not just health testing at every level but leaving absolutely no stone unturned.
This is a very exciting litter from our much-loved Molly of Newthorpe, a stunning fox red Labrador with the most wonderful temperament, trainable nature and happy, biddable attitude. Molly is our complete go-to dog: full of personality, very willing to please, and a joy to live with and work around. A great deal of thought and consideration has gone into choosing the right sire for her, with temperament, working ability, health and type all at the forefront of our decision.
The sire is Mekoro Make No Promises FTW, known as Barley, an exceptional working Labrador with proven trial and test achievements, outstanding health results and a superb temperament. Barley is described as an honest, loyal dog who always tries to please.
Barley has an impressive pedigree, being by OFTW & IGL Retriever Championship 2015 DOM Winner Amancio Falcon, out of FTW Mekoro Duck Diver. Sire: Mekoro Make No Promises FTW Date of Birth: 09/03/2020

We are also available for ongoing support after puppies leave us, as we believe responsible breeding continues well beyond collection day. For those actively waiting for a puppy from the litter, we also provide updates throughout the whelping and rearing process wherever possible, including news from the birth, early development and key stages as the puppies grow.
We know how exciting it is to be waiting for a new puppy, and we like prospective owners to feel involved and informed from the beginning.

🐶 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.
