Description

Very well built 10 month old fox red lab bitch- sired by Bolebrokeold Wrens Warren. 

Maple is doing very well with her training, she aims to please with drive. However, she isn't a dog for the heavy handed. She would suit a female handler. I couldn't be anymore happy with her, however I think she would be best suited to a smaller pack/less busy lifestyle. 

She will stop on the whistle,  take direction & retrieve to hand. She isn't phased by gunshot, will sit super steady and handle onto shot game and retrieve beautifully regarding any distractions. 

Maple will not go just anywhere, this is a real tough decision so homes will be thoroughly vetted. She will stay if the right home isn't found. By no means in any hurry either. Be a fantastic summer project for someone.
Maples eyes are booked in to be tested mid feb. 
She is the most affectionate,  loyal 10 month old I've ever met. She wants to stick beside you. Isn't a dog that will bugger off and self hunt, she will wait beside you until told otherwise and then will return. 

Maple hasn't been rushed, she's very level headed and takes everything in her stride. Her Dam and Sire are both 00 for hips and elbows so all precautions have been taken to ensure Maple will also get the best results. 
 

She is not a bargain. Price reflects training.  

 

Please be patient , my twins have chicken pox.

🐶 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.
