Description

Offered for stud, Tris, aka Churail Capone. Tris has a current clear eye certificate and a 0 score on his gonioscopy (July 2025), 0/0 elbow score and 2/4 hip score. He is DNA clear for AMS, PP, DAMs, FUCO, PRA (cord1) and CDPA - certificates available on request. Tris has had an introduction to the shooting field this past year, and has shown a lot of natural ability and talent. He has an extremely good nose on him, and shows determination when working. He is stylish and covers his ground well when hunting, hits cover fearlessly. He has been easy to train as wants to please and is soft in nature. He has gone beating, picking up, walked up days and also sat on a peg. I am aiming to trial Tris next season. In the house Tris has a lovely temperament, he is kind, quiet and generally a pleasure to have around.

🐶 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.
