Give your pups the best possible start!
Appearance - Ted is a stunning working type Lab; with a big broad head, muscular physique and ample bone structure. In our opinion he’s one of the best looking around, always getting compliments. Weighing in at a nice healthy solid weight around 35kg.
His coat is silky solid dark red with no speckles or white markings.
Pups - Producing good sized litters, most recently 12, 11 & 10 of quality, stunning & trainable solid pups. He adds size to the pups if your bitch carries a smaller frame - a couple of pictures are within the advert 🐶
Nature/temperament - Ted has a caring yet confident temperament, not a bad bone in his body, he aims to please, loving people as much as he loves life! Taking new experiences and scenarios in his stride he's a true pleasure to call ours. He trains easily as do his offspring. Living calmly in our home environment he is very much part of the family. On the field, he has plenty of drive and he is honestly a joy to own. In his stud role, he gets the job done gently (with smaller bitches too) quickly and respectfully!
Pedigree - Ted’s 5 generation includes sort after kennel names and hosts FTCH’s / FTW’s including the Drakeshead lineage.
Progesterone testing - We strongly recommend that prior to visiting, bitches are tested to see if they have ovulated and when they are ready for mating. The quick and easy test makes the mating more comfortable and you have peace of mind that the timing is right. Further advice can be provided, please just ask if unsure ☺️ Ted has 100% success rate when the bitch has been tested!
Paperwork - following the mating you’ll leave with a paperwork pack that you can show to potential puppy owners, it includes a copy of Ted’s pedigree and a stud contract.
Stud fee - £350 payable on our premises at the first visit regardless if you choose 1 or 2 visits (natural mating).
AI can be offered, although natural is preferred, please contact for prices if choosing this option.
Thank you ☺️
