FTW MINNEND NEPTUNEOutstanding Young Springer Dog

Breed: English Springer Spaniel

Sex: Dog

Colour: Black & White

Date of Birth: 18/06/2022

Sire: Ffynonlas Smudge

Dam: Buccleuch Topaz

KC Registered • Fully Health‑Checked • Proven Trial Dog

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

✅ Suitable for home or kennel life

✅ A proven FTW with huge potential ahead

✅ Honest, stylish, and fault‑free

He is an outstanding dog who will make a top‑class shooting companion, picking‑up dog, or a competitive prospect for someone wishing to run trials.

🐶 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.
