Description

Field trial winner Morayglen Hawk of Thornship has eight field trial awards, including 1st in a novice and an all age trial.

As might be expected he is an excellent marker, fast and stylish and very responsive to whistle commands.

I trained his father Logo and grandfather Barracuda, both of whom became Field Trial Champions and went to the IGL championship. Ollie, as we call him, has the potential to follow in their footsteps.

Ollie is proven and has produced some handsome pups. His genetics are excellent though his even hip scores are slightly above what now is the breed average .

Clear of : CNM, PRA, SD2, EIC MRD, TRD,  GPRA, CPRA, HC   Stargardts.

Eyes tested clear 2002-2004, Hips EBV 20, Elbows 0/0 EBV -12.

Further information on his pedigree is on the website thornshipgundogs.co.uk.

He is available at stud by appointment, 10 mins from jct 39 of the M6 in Cumbria.

🐶 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.
