ABOUT US We participate in hunting alongside main Shropshire shoots during the winter months. Our dogs thrive in outstanding quality, which speaks for itself but most importantly they make fantastic companions with an affectionate, loyal temperament to match. 

All puppies are monitored to ensure the correct homes are selected and desensitised to a multitude of environments.

We are extremely honest, helpful and supportive throughout your journey before and after your new addition has been taken home.

About us…

We have many years of experience working with animals,  we are qualified in animal sonography, microchipping and hold a level 3 qualifications in the management of animals with many years of breeding experience.

All puppies are handled with care from birth, happy and confident in home and kennel environments which wr believe is very important.

YOUR PUPPY STAGES 

Early Scent Introduction (ESI) of the puppies is carried out, which has the following benefits: improved cardiovascular performance, stronger heart beats, stronger adrenal glands, higher tolerance to stress, and greater resistance to disease, as well as boosting brain development. 

5 weeks of age, ‘critical period’, the pups will be exposed to as many stimuli as possible to avoid fearful responses in future. This includes hearing ‘socialisation sounds’ (which include traffic, fireworks, babies crying, party type sounds/conversations, vacuum cleaners, hairdryers, construction noise, various animal, farm noises and gunshots). Please note the majority of puppies darken as they grow. 

We do our best to accommodate new homes by integrating the puppies to the way of life and environment they will become accustomed to when moving home. 

Socialised with children, correctly handled, have access to gardens, orchards, started toilet training, KC registered, microchipped, health checked, have first vaccinations, and course of worming. 

Puppies are chosen by clients at 6 weeks of age for suitability to their homes.

Owners will receive a complete puppy pack with written advice and information, feed for a week, scent blanket, and various goodies included. Documentation will include a sales contract, endorsement notice form, 5 generation pedigree, proof of vaccination and microchipping. 

We have plenty of reviews from families, any questions welcome.

🐶 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.
