Description

Moose is a fine example of a traditional springer, he sits around 20kg and is of a stocky build with a nice solid head and wide chest. He has the most outstanding temperament and is a dog you could put in any situation and he would not put a foot wrong, be that out in the field or in the city. He’s absolutely bombproof in all scenarios. He has confidence in bucketloads but is still a lovely biddable dog that takes instruction and wants to work with his handler. 
Moose works as part of a team picking up on a large commercial estate several times a week during the season and for his first season was also beating for a small syndicate shoot. Moose loves to compete in scurries as-well as working tests during the summer and has also worked for Netflix on a large production. 

Moose is a carrier for PRA, so all bitches will need to be tested clear in order for a mating to take place. He is eye tested clear annually and has an gonio eye grade of 1. Elbows 0/0 Hips 2/5 

I own his Uncle and 2 off his offspring and work alongside his family during the shooting season. He is producing quality off spring who are all passing their health tests and 2 daughters with lovely low hip scores and clear elbows. All his offspring have his wonderful temperament

🐶 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.
