Heath tested & Hip Scored, Heavily Marked Working Springer

County / Town: Montgomeryshire

Description

Pippenmoor Keepers Boy of Cynefin Oak 

Gunner is a fantastic example of a Springer, he is very hard hunting and works hard but is settled at home in the kennel or in the house, he's a lovely boy with the sweetest temperment but by no means soft. He switches it on when you need it. He's very trainable, retrieves well, he’s on his 3rd season picking up. He picks up in a team of 6 on a large commercial shoot, 400/500 bird days.

I also train him for detection which he excels at because of his toy/ball drive.

He's very solid and heavily marked, he stamps his pups too, they always have a lot of solid colour on them, pictures can be sent.

He's had extensive health tests and is up to date and clear on his eyes, he is 0/0 elbows and 2/3 hips.

He's quiet in the kennel, travels well, will sleep in the van or a hotel and is chilled and steady in different environments. 

He's very polite with bitches too so is a nice dog for a maiden bitch. 
 

Stud fee includes 2 covers and a free second mating if the bitch doesn't take. 
 

We are based near Welshpool - Mid Wales but he's often travelling with me all over the UK for work.

🐶 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.

🧠 Final Thought

Buying a gun dog is your responsibility. Do your homework on both the breed and the breeder. Make sure your decision is informed, confident, and in the best interest of the dog.
