Description
This is Duke. He is 1 of 5 labs we own including his mother and son. He is well proven with wonderful litters. Duke's litters have ranged from producing 6 to 13 puppies.
He is from working blood with a fantastic line containing many fields trial champions and winners in his pedigree.
Duke is a fantastic gundog with incredible drive, steadiness and a great eagerness to please. He works every season and is always impecably behaved!
We bred him myself so his mother and 1 of his sons can also be seen when visiting for stud. Duke is a fantastic dog, he is really gentle and loving and has proven easy to train. He impressed a dog behaviourist so much when he met him and observed him on a walk that he purchased 2 of his puppies from a litter.
Duke is also a brilliant family pet. He is fantastic with the kids and is as happy being a sofa dog all day as he is out working all day.
Duke's father is a brilliant fox red working lab who regularly worked the shooting season. Meaning Duke carries the yellow colour gene.
He has been health tested and these are as follows:
