Description

We have available a fantastic litter of English Springer Spaniel Puppies bred from Field Trial Winning parents.  These puppies will make exceptional gun dogs, whether it be trialling, working or active family pet home.

The dam is FTW Bishwell Betsy aka Arwin.  She has a incredible temperament from competing in the field to sitting in the house.  She is very biddable and level headed, very good game finding ability and drive.  She is a much loved part of the family, great with other dogs and children.

The sire is FTW Kirriemuir Red Rock aka Alfie.  This is the first litter he has sired.  I will only use a dog that I have judged in field trials, shot over or walked behind at a trial.  He has pace in abundance,  is extremely level headed, highly driven and focused.  This dog will not be a FTW for long as he has already attained two 2nd places. in Open Field Trials.

This was a litter of 10, most of the litter were already spoken for, the last few boys are remaining.

The pedigree speaks for itself and the puppies show some lovely markings.

They are docked and dew clawed with a veterinary certificate, microchipped, vet checked and wormed at 2,5 and 8 weeks of age.

The puppies are well socialised in a family environment.

We hold a 5 star breeding licence with our local authority.

The pups will be KC registered, free puppy pack and 5 weeks free KC insurance.  

No expense spared in the rearing of these lovely puppies.

🐶 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.
