Proven in the field beating and picking up. He carries alot of pace and his rate of scent uptake is extremely high, if you're looking to create little detection dogs then this boy is not to be missed. He misses nothing even being very fast across the ground. Natural Springer spring to flush, naturally stops after the flush. He has a very good mouth, very careful with birds over obstacles and through fences. Keen and capable swimmer. He has excellent marking and memory ability he also handles well and takes instruction nicely. He stays quite close throughout the season and isn't one to go missing, he will however stay commited on a runner even if it's gone well over the moor and far away. He's a joy to own and especially out in the field but also at home, he does take up alot of sofa and, worth a mention, he has a strong beard game, excellent feathering and his tail is naturally very thick with strong bone, which is important if you are not planning on docking puppies.

His litters so far have had high numbers of tri colour puppies in the litter if that is something you are looking for, with alot of tan not just tan pointed.

🐶 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.
