Description
A very handsome 12-month-old Fox Red Labrador dog, offered to an experienced and suitable working home. He has been given a good start to his training and is showing all the attributes you would hope to see in a young working Labrador. He walks well both on and off the lead, retrieves from land and water.
He is bred from proven working stock. His sire is my fully healthy tested field trial-winning stud dog, while his dam is a RKC registered working bitch on a small shoot. This combination of proven working ability and sound breeding gives him the potential to develop into a very capable shooting companion.
At 12 months old, he is at an ideal age for someone wishing to continue his education and bring him on to suit their own style of shooting. He has plenty of potential and is an exciting young dog for someone who appreciates a well-bred working Labrador.
He will only be considered for the right home, where his abilities can be developed and he can be given the time and work he deserves. He is a soft natured dog and will not respond to heavy or forceful training. He will work well with a considerate handler so if you're not this type of trainer/handler he's not for you.
Photos and videos are available to genuinely interested parties. Please message me for further details.

🐶 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.
