Description

Meet Koa -- our stunning well trained, traditional English Springer Spaniel.

Koa is a strong, heavily marked boy from superb working lines from pippenmoor lines - his sire is Pippenmoor full throttle (KC registered, tail undocked) his kennel name is TRUEFLEURS KOA, he's dna hereditary clear and was bred in-house as part of our detection dog breeding program. He's ball and kong obsessed, hunts beautifully, and has taken part in our green detection training with real enthusiasm.

He's environmentally bold -- confident with water, intro to gunfire, different surfaces, obstacles, and busy environments. He's more than happy to chill in a pub or cafe mid adventure.

He's recall trained, crate trained, and dog neutral; he'll happily ignore other dogs and is well-mannered around people and children. Travels well, house trained

 

Only quirks: 

  • He does pull on the lead but responsive to slip lead
  • Can struggle in a kennel, house prefered
  • needs a slow feeder                                                                                                                              Around the home, he's exceptionally loving, crate trained and calm with an off switch -- When working, he switches up into high drive and gives everything to his task.

Slightly soft no heavy hand needed, learns quick naturally

He retrieves to hand, good in water, and is overall a strong, affectionate, and highly capable dog.

🐶 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.
