Barney received “Very Highly Commended” in his class at Crufts 2023. He competed in the BASC Working Gundog Labrador Retriever – Best Dog class. The class comprised 44 entries and he essentially came 5th. This was his first ever competition and we are delighted with the results. Barney was impeccably well behaved throughout the day and took a very busy environment in his stride.
With regard to Barney’s background, Barney was a very easy dog to train and now a valuable member of our picking up team throughout the shooting season. He has a great hunt drive and fantastic nose for game.
Barney is a very loving dog, obedient and great with children. He is a pleasure to be around.
Barney is a proven stud dog, having thrown regular litters of between 8-10 pups.
Barney has been successful with AI so I can also organise this along with progesterone testing so you will know the best time to mate, this is through a qualified third party.

Protect yourself when buying, selling or studding your dog. Follow these guidelines:
Always see the gun dog in person at the breeder's location before paying any money.
See the puppies with the Dam and possibly the Sire if available.
Check all paperwork is correct, including the KC number and dates of birth.
If something feels wrong, walk away. Ask lots of questions about breeding history, health, vaccinations, and registration.
Be vigilant and seek advice from a third party if you're unsure.
Only purchase when you are absolutely sure about the dog and the breeder.
Buying a gun dog is your responsibility. Research the breed and the breeder thoroughly before committing.
The breeder should let you see and handle all puppies in the litter, not just the one you're buying.
Puppies should appear happy, healthy and inquisitive. Do not buy unwell puppies.
Puppies should only be sold once they are 8 weeks old.
Check the whelping environment. Is it clean? Do dogs have clean water and food?
Write up a contract to safeguard both you and the breeder.
Do not leave without the KC registration form and all documents once payment is made.
Never buy a gun dog in a car park. Always visit the breeder's establishment.
