We live on a large farm and we occasionally breed from our health tested gundogs. Our gundogs are never kennelled and they are much loved members of our family. When we breed, the health, temperament and working ability of the progeny are our priorities.

Both parents are extensively health tested beyond the requirements for Kennel Club Assured Breeders with excellent results.

The puppies are hereditary clear of CNM; EIC; HNPK; MCD; prcd-PRA; SD2; STGD and they will never be clinically affected by CT; Cystinuria; DM; HUU.

This mating has an inbreeding coefficient of 5.6% which is below and better than the breed average of 6.4%.

The sire, Barley, is a fast, hard hunting and obedient dog. He has won six Field Trials including two two day Opens. For more information on Barley, please google Sussex Sharp Gun Dogs.

The dam, Daphne, is home bred out of our excellent working bitch, Doris. Daphne has an excellent nose, she will go through any cover and retrieve game from land and water. Daphne has a strong athletic build and an exceptionally sweet biddable temperament.

This is Daphne's third litter with her first two litters having been sired by the late FTCH Shallowbeck Baker Boy.

The puppies are being raised in our farmhouse amongst the bustle of family life and they will never be kennelled. We take great care with, and pride in, raising our litters including taking turns to be with the puppies 24/7 for the first two weeks of their lives. We have started the puppies' toilet and basic training as well as providing appropriate socialisation.

We regularly worm, flea and tick treat all our gundogs and Daphne was wormed daily with Panacur 10% Oral Suspension from forty days post mating until two days post whelping to ensure that the puppies were born with no/minimal worm burden.

The puppies have been weaned on to a premium puppy kibble. They are being regularly wormed and flea treated and they are ready to go to their forever homes.

The puppies are suitable for active homes or working/trialling/assistance homes.

If you are interested in providing a forever home for one of these puppies, please provide brief details of the home you can offer including the following details: your experience with dogs/working Labrador Retrievers, whether you are offering an active or working/trialling home, where in the country you live including details of your property/garden and of how long the puppy/adult dog will be left alone on a regular basis.

The puppies have been vet checked; fully vaccinated and microchipped and they will be homed with:-
- their Kennel Club registration and microchipping documents;
- their Vaccination Certificate;
- a comprehensive Contract of Sale;
- details of the vet who carried out the health check;
- five weeks free insurance;
- a worming and flea treatment record; and
- complimentary puppy food and a feeding guide.

Our Contract of Sale allows the new owners at least forty eight hours after collection to take their puppy to their own registered vet and to return the puppy to us for a full refund of the purchase price paid if their vet identifies and states in writing any health defect with the puppy.

We currently have one dog/male puppy available.

The puppy can be viewed with Daphne. Daphne's dam, Doris, can also be viewed.

We have set up a WhatsApp group so that the forever owners can keep in touch with us and with each other.
