Description

FTW Minnend Neptune is an exceptional young dog who has been an absolute pleasure to train from day one. He has taken every stage of his development in his stride and has matured into a kind, honest, incredibly biddable spaniel with a fantastic work ethic. He is steady, stylish, intelligent and consistent—everything you want in a quality gun dog or future trial dog.

‘Gundo’ is equally happy living indoors or in kennels, with impeccable manners in either setting. He is easy to handle, clean, quiet, and a genuinely delightful dog to have around.

He is also excellent with other dogs, mixes well in groups, and has no quirks, issues, or faults. What you see is exactly what you get: a completely straightforward, dependable, and well‑mannered young dog from superb breeding.

His most notable achievement is :

✅ 1st Place – Welsh Kennel Club Field Trial (Any Variety Spaniel – Novice)

Event Date: 05/12/2025

This win earned him his Field Trial Winner (FTW) title and demonstrates his proven potential for anyone looking to campaign a competitive dog.

He has also test wins at both Novice and Open Levels, and gained 3rd place at the game fair last summer in the 5 region event after winning the Welsh qualifier.

Reason for Sale

Gundo is only available due having too many Open dogs already lined up for next season, combined with the commitment required after qualifying for the 2026 England Gundog Squad.

For this reason, focus needs to shift to the current Open dogs, and Gundo sadly won’t be campaigned to his full potential next season. He deserves the chance to progress, work, and continue developing with someone who can dedicate the time he warrants.

Pedigree

Neptune boasts a strong, purposeful pedigree featuring proven field champions including:

•FT CH Bishwell Black Magic of Breckmarsh

•FT CH Buccleuch Pepper

•FT CH Ir FT CH Hattonswood Broc

…among many other respected trialling lines.

Full three‑generation pedigree available (see images provided).

Summary

Gundo is:

✅ A joy to train

✅ Good in every way

✅ Excellent with other dogs
