Description

Soft as a brush at home, incredible gun dog in the field. If I had a pound for every compliment I had about him, I’d be sitting in the Bahamas.

I’m desperate for his son. No charge for stud and I’m happy to pay a stud fee + Puppy fee if required.

Literally collapses at your feet in desperate need of cuddles at home, lives on our laps and dotes over our two young daughters. 

But when he hears the gun cabinet open he flicks a switch and becomes an awesome retriever. Can be stopped on the whistle at 100m, directed at a distance with ease, ‘dogs in’ poults completely calm inches from the poults, retrieves ducks on water and will pick a bird after other dogs have given up. Awesome hunter and so well behaved, he’s the best lab I’ve owned / seen in 25 years. 

I’m happy to travel anywhere in the UK for a suitable bitch. Hip and Eye and DNA checks complete – available on request

🐶 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.
