Give your pups the best possible start! 

Appearance - Ted is a stunning working type Lab; with a big broad head, muscular physique and ample bone structure. In our opinion he’s one of the best looking around, weighing in at a nice healthy weight between 34 - 35kg. His coat is silky solid dark red with no speckles or white markings. 

Pups - Producing good sized litters of quality, stunning & trainable solid pups. He adds size to the pups if your bitch carries a smaller frame.

Nature/temperament - Ted has a caring yet confident temperament, not a bad bone in his body, he aims to please, loving people as much as he loves life! Taking new experiences and scenarios in his stride he's a true pleasure to call ours. He trains easily as do his offspring. Living calmly in our home environment he is very much part of the family. On the field, he has plenty of drive and he is honestly a joy to own. In his stud role, he gets the job done gently, quickly and respectfully! 

Pedigree - Ted’s 5 generation includes sort after kennel names and hosts FTCH’s / FTW’s including the Drakeshead lineage. 

Progesterone testing - We recommend that prior to visiting, bitches are tested to see if they have ovulated and when they are ready for mating. The quick and easy test makes the mating more comfortable and you have peace of mind that the timing is right. Further advice can be provided, please just ask if unsure

Paperwork - following the mating you’ll leave with a paperwork pack that you can show to potential puppy owners, it includes a copy of Ted’s pedigree and a stud contract. 

Stud fee - £350 payable on our premises at the first visit regardless if you choose 1 or 2 visits natural mating. 

For Artificial Insemination AI, please contact us for more details regarding prices. AI - fresh semen can be made available for those that prefer this process over natural matings or whom live at a distance; - AI option 1, this can be professionally collected & inseminated at a clinic local to us, OR; - AI option 2, professionally collected and chilled at the clinic then suitably packed and shipped. Please provide notice if this option is preferred. 

Many thanks

🐶 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.

🧠 Final Thought

Buying a gun dog is your responsibility. Do your homework on both the breed and the breeder. Make sure your decision is informed, confident, and in the best interest of the dog.
