This page is dedicated to helping you to find a suitable stud dog for your bitch. As you may be aware, the number of genuine working, fully health tested available stud dogs in this country is greatly lacking. To find a working dog that you can be sure is going to have a positive effect on your breeding program can be a minefield. Not every one has a breeding program, and the majority of the working fraternity will only breed one maybe two litters. These litters are as important to the working gene pool in this country, as any of the litters produced by a more established kennel. The GWP is a relatively healthy breed and doesn’t suffer from health problems as badly as the working spaniel, or retrieving breeds do. That said the breed will not look after it’s self and we all, as responsible shooters, falconers and Deer stalkers have a duty to keep the GWP healthy! On the content there are governing bodies to over see all breeding, we don’t have that yet in this country. This leaves the breed open to potentially developing all kinds of problems, temperament, health, and working wise. Some of the health problems that are concerning for the breed at the moment are Vwd, Hip Dysplasia, and cases of epilepsy. It is recommended that All GWPs to be bred from should at the least be screened for vWD & Hip dysplasia. For this reason, it is important when thinking of producing a litter to use the best dogs we can for the future welfare of this versatile, healthy breed!

If you are looking for a stud dog please do contact us and we will do our best to help you find a suitable sire for your litter. If you own a health tested GWP and would like to offer him at stud, please do contact us also!
