Description

Bringing new blood into our kennels we've been very lucky and proud to introduce Harry, known at home as 'happy Harry'. He's been a pleasure to have since the day we brought him home at 8 weeks old. 

Totally unrelated to our other stud dogs, with an impeccable pedigree to compliment there progeny being FTCH x OFTAW bred, however having the balance of been an excellent working dog but also THE best companion. 
He has the most amazing temperament, with a kind nature and off switch when at home and out & about. We feel he'll compliment bitches not only for working but also to produce well rounded companions too. 
Training is coming on very well, he's driven in training but very biddable and a quick learner. He did join us on some days at the back end of last season, not phased by anything asked of him, and will be joining our team for the coming season within our picking up team. We complete over 100 days a season on grouse, partridge & pheasant and I have no doubt he'll be an asset to my team. He's everything I look for in a dog. He's a strong dog, with a lovely broad head. Weighing around 30kg. 

 
FULLY HEALTH TESTED; 

BVA Eye test CLEAR (April 25) tested annually 

0/0 Hips                                                                     0 elbows

Proven at stud, excellent with maiden/difficult bitches too and can assist if needed, stud fee to be paid on first tie/mating, and includes 2 covers and free return if no puppies. You'll receive a receipt, copy of his pedigree & photo of him. We're very experienced stud owners, happy to advise on anything/answer any questions.

🐶 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.
