UPDATE ……..All yellow litter of pups born 27th October. Various colours from pale yellow to darker red shades.

We have a litter of well bred, yellow Labrador puppies from extensively health tested, wonderful temperament, good looking and successfully competed, KC registered working parents.
Waiting list open to 5* loving, active family, country or working homes.

Sire is Ftch Rustler Master ( Gus ). Owned and handled by Tucker Munday, he won first time out in a Novice Field Trial and in only his third 2 day Open Field Trial, qualified for the prestigious IGL Retriever Championship. This was in just their second season trialling and first season in Open competition. Tucker describes this as a a testament to the kind of dog he is taking a novice competitor to the highest level and has been a pleasure to train. Since then they qualified again in 2023 and recently for the 2024 Championship aswell as being 2024 selected for the England Skinners World Cup Team.
Gus is a wonderful, handsome dog who is loyal and affectionate with a beautiful genuine nature. He has sired several litters to date, producing solid, attractive pups that are showing lovely personalities.
I would advise you to have a look at Midland Gundog website where you can see more information about Gus, Tucker and their achievements. He was chosen as Sire to this litter as his qualities match perfectly with those of Heidi.

Dam is my lovely, home bred Irwellspring Amelia (Heidi). She is the daughter of my own Ostrowski Bravo of Irwellspring (Luna) and FtCh Beileys Aguzannis of Fendawood (Beiley). Beiley is owned and was handled by David Latham, current England Retriever Team captain and IGL winner. Take a look at Fendawood Gundog website where David and Beiley’s multitude of Awards can be seen. Many of Beiley’s progeny are achieving fantastic results in KC Working Tests, Field Trials and agility. Heidi is no exception. She has a wonderful temperament and is a lovely looking girl. She is always eager and willing to please but equally content and happy to settle in front of the fire; an absolute joy to be around. She has gained several awards in KC puppy and Open Working tests, competed at Crufts and regularly picked up last season. Most importantly, she is truly a best friend and loyal companion.


Our aim is to produce healthy, great temperament, trainable and good looking working Labradors. Both Dam and Sire have been fully health tested with excellent Hip and Elbow results, clear BVA eye tests and clear KC breed recommended DNA tests. We have been careful in selecting a mating with a low co-efficient of inbreeding at 6.5% which is around the breed average. Both Dam and Sire have low risk estimated breeding values for hip and elbow dysplasia with a high percentage of confidence which are important factors in reducing the risk of puppies being affected by such conditions. The puppies cannot be affected by any of the genetic tests for which the Kennel Club recommend testing i.e prcd-PRA, CNM, SD2, HNPK, EIC, STGD, MCD.

The puppies will be lovingly raised in our home alongside Heidi’s Mum (Luna), sister (Lily) and puppy (Betty). They will be carefully socialised and habituated with household sights, sounds, animals and visitors to provide every opportunity to develop into healthy, confident dogs. Homes for the puppies will be diligently selected to secure the most suitable loving, working, activity, assistance, country or family homes where they will have a lifetime of care and can reach their full potential as working dogs or loyal companions.

As a Kennel Club Assured, council licensed and vet inspected small hobby breeder, we are committed to meeting the highest standards in rearing our litters. The puppies will be raised in our home with a great deal of love and care. They will be well adjusted, socialised and tenderly handled. Puppies from our previous litters have, without exception, become loyal, loved companions and/or working dogs and we have received amazing testimonials from their lovely owners.

Please contact me by email with expressions of interest to include details of the home that you will offer, in order to secure a place on our waiting list. Please provide a telephone number then I can contact you to have a chat and discuss any questions that you may have and please expect me to ask you lots of questions!

All pups will be KC Registered and have ‘R’and ‘X’ endorsements.
