Description

Gunner is our much-loved liver roan working cocker, compact and stylish with a bold but gentle nature. He’s fully health & DNA tested (all clear) and has already proven himself as a sire, producing strong, healthy pups in both liver and black.

What makes Gunner special is his balance – he has plenty of drive and enthusiasm for training, but he’s equally content relaxing at home. His friendly temperament and lovely manners make him a joy to have around, and this comes through in the quality of pups he sires.

As experienced breeders, we take care to make the process smooth and supportive, with Gunner available to suitable bitches.

If you’re looking for a well-mannered, compact stud dog with character and style, Gunner could be the perfect match.

We kindly ask that only those with a genuine interest in using him as a stud get in touch. To ensure a good match, all enquiries will be asked to complete a short questionnaire before arranging a mating.

🐶 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.
