Gundogs for the Future
BEHIND CONTENDER
The kennels are based in North Yorkshire on a grouse moor and pheasant shooting Estate after relocating from Norfolk & Suffolk where Natasha was working as a fulltime Keeper before the dogs became a fulltime occupation in 2007.
Later Contender Sporting was set up specialising in walked up shoot days and gundog training events.
The dogs are first and foremost shooting dogs, mainly picking up but are also expected to do walked-up days and sitting on peg. It's a long and demanding season so overall management and wellbeing of the dogs is a main priority ALL year.
Healthy and happy dogs make the best Working dogs!
BREEDING
As a non-commercial kennel I only breed the occasional litter. Being rather passionate about breeding, a lot of time and effort is put into the planning of every litter including health testing.
LITTER, SPRING 2025:
Contender Cober (Boots) has been mated with OFTW Rowpainter Othello (Otto) - Watch this space!
Puppies will be DNA heredity CLEAR of :PRA, CNM, SD2, STGD, MCD, EIC, HPNK
