Following a successful mating, we are anticipating a litter of well bred, yellow and black 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 ).
Gus is a wonderful, handsome dog who is loyal and affectionate with a beautiful genuine nature. He has qualified for the IGL Championship for three consecutive years. In 2024 he had the opportunity to really show what he’s made of when with big heart, drive and game finding ability, he won the title of IGL Champion. We wish him luck in December 2025 when he will compete to retain his title and trophy.
Gus has sired a good number of litters including our own in October 2024. He is producing good looking biddable pups that show drive and enthusiasm for training as well as lovely companions.
I would advise you to have a look at Midland Gundog website where you can see more information about Gus, Tucker and their achievements.

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, former 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.
Gus and Heidi produced a lovely litter last year and we are anticipating that this well matched pair will produce another outstanding litter of yellow and black puppies. We expect that these pups have potential to excel in competition such as Working tests, field trials, agility or become well trained assistance dogs or wonderful companions.


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. I have been careful in selecting a mating with a low co-efficient of inbreeding at 6.5% which is consistent with 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 diseases for which the Kennel Club recommend testing i.e prcd-PRA, CNM, SD2, HNPK, EIC, STGD, MCD. This is because mum, dad or both have tested clear for these conditions.

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, children, babies 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 (until the scheme recently closed), 5 star 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, text or phone with expressions of interest. Please be prepared to give details of the home that you will offer, in order to secure a place on our waiting list. Please do 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!
