Clyderhow Gundogs

Based in the Ribble Valley, Clyderhow Gundogs breed Working Cocker Spaniels and provide training and advice. Our dogs work on shoots and enter Working Tests and Trials. Bred for trainability, drive, desire and bidability they are a pleasure to train, work and/or compete with.

Located on the fringe of Forest of Bowland, the Ribble Valley nestles at the western foot of the Pennines. (AONB)

Richard has been breeding and training WCS’s for over 7 years. Breeding is selective with the aim of improving the breed standard, defined by the KC.

Clyderhow Gundogs are focused on breeding for the working field and/or competition but also make great companions for active families.

Hi Richard

I wasn’t sure if you normally get updates but I thought I’d get in touch
as Clyderhow Pendle Princess (aka Penny) turned 1 year old this week.

Since she joined us, she turned our lives inside out and upside down. It
was chaos we didn’t know we needed.

She’s a complete superstar. She’s very good natured, really social and
always keen to engage with us. Equally however, she has an off switch and
loves nothing more than a cuddle on the sofa.

We are learning so much together and are constantly playing games
together, especially Go Find and hide-and-seek. We’re planning to start
scent training this year to further work some of her Gun Dog instincts,
without actually working her.

She’s a massive part of our family and is such a happy girl (she enjoyed a
juicy birthday steak for dinner!) As you can see she very much enjoyed the
recent snow.

We can’t remember life without her

Steph, Pete and Isla
