🐾 Exceptional Working Labrador Litter – Due Early September 2025 🐾

We’re delighted to share that Titarapikara Firecracker (Wellie) and Nettlebridge By Your Side (Percy) are expecting a litter of working-bred Labradors in early September 2025.

This pairing brings together two outstanding dogs with exceptional temperaments, natural ability, and impeccable pedigrees — combining some of the most proven and respected Field Trial lines in the UK and Europe.

This is not a commercial litter — it has been thoughtfully planned because we’re so confident in what both dogs have to offer, and we’re hoping to keep one of the pups ourselves. The litter will be raised in our home, receiving lots of early socialisation, individual attention, and a strong foundation for life as a working dog or active companion.

🔥 Wellie is a stylish, honest young bitch heading into her second season picking up. She’s naturally biddable, level-headed in the field, and easy to live with — a truly dependable working partner.
Her pedigree features top names including:
🔹 FTCh Mediterranean Blue
🔹 FTCh Willowyck Ruff
🔹 FTCh Waterford Featherman
🔹 FTCh Astraglen Hail
🔹 FTCh Endacott Shelf

⸻

⚡ Percy is a strong, athletic dog with a calm, focused temperament. He’s due to begin his Open Trial season this autumn and shows all the makings of a top-level working dog.
His breeding includes:
🔹 FTCh Waterford Ganton
🔹 FTCh Mediterranean Blue
🔹 FTCh Craighorn Bracken
🔹 FTCh Waterford Covey
🔹 FTCh Hatchfield Feargal

These lines consistently produce trainable, intelligent dogs who thrive in both competitive and practical environments.

📩 Waiting List Now Open
We’re now welcoming applications for this exciting litter.

All puppies will:
✔️ Be KC registered
✔️ Receive their first vaccinations and a full vet check
✔️ Go home with a carefully prepared puppy pack
✔️ Be raised in a home environment with daily handling and early socialisation

A deposit will be required to secure a puppy once homes have been selected.
Please note: this is not a first-come, first-served list — we are committed to matching each puppy with a home that suits their needs and potential, whether in a working, active, or experienced family environment.

Whether you’re looking for a capable working partner, future trial dog, or a well-bred and well-raised active companion, we’d love to hear from you.
