DescriptionOur girl Nala has had a lovely litter of shiny coated healthy black Drakeshead Labrador puppies on the 16th March 2024. All of the litter have now been reserved. No complications throughout the pregnancy or at birth and Nala is proving to be an excellent caring Mum. This is the only litter that Nala will be having, the next litter will be from her daughter when she's ready to become a Mum, we want to continue Nala's line and always have a piece of our fantastic girl.
Nala is very loving, biddable and intelligent with a super shiny coat. She does go picking up and is always raring to go when seeing the shooting gear. Predominantly she is our pet, lives in our home and loves curling up in front of the fire after a long walk. She enjoys our dog holidays exploring the country and can be trusted in any scenario be it on a boat, walking near livestock, running on the beach and exploring waterfalls to name a few adventures. Nala has her own Instagram page which shows her since she was a pup to date and also her puppies, her account is Drakeshead_Thunder_Girl.
Bramble (Sire) has a fantastic temperament and is an athletic highly driven dog who is enthusiastic in his work, always showing great aptitude and willingness to learn. He produces excellent puppies which are suitable for a working or active family home. Distinction in grades 1-4 of the Gundog Club Field Tests.
The breeding has been very well planned with both parents health and DNA tested, both have great temperaments and are stunning working Labradors. The sire lives locally and have known each other since Nala was 18 months old, upon prior arrangement sire can be seen if required.
Between the sire and dams five generations there are 58 Field Trial Champion grandparents. Sires hip score 3/2 = 5 and dams 4/2 = 6, both parents elbow scored (0/0), both unaffected eye tests (BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme), both parents DNA tested for the below:
EIC - Clear
HNPK - Clear
SD2 (Dwarfism) - Clear
CNM - Clear
Prcd-PRA - Clear
This means both dogs do not have any copies of the abnormal gene associated with the condition that has been tested for. These dogs are highly unlikely to develop this condition and all puppies will receive the normal copy of the genes.
The puppies are now available to view, instructions for viewing the puppies will be provided upon arranging. Collection of the puppies will be from the 11th May at 8 weeks old.
All puppies will be certified vet checked, fully weaned, wormed, KC registered, received their 1st vaccination, microchipped, well socialised, used to household noises along with adults and children. There will be 5 weeks free insurance provided and a 1.5kg bag of dry puppy food will be supplied with the option to purchase 10kg if preferred. Worming and flea treatment can be purchased if required. A comprehensive care package detailing diet, worming and flea treatment dates, training tips, a blanket with the scent of Mum and siblings will be provided.
The puppy food we will be feeding is veterinarian approved, which has been specifically formulated to provide your dog with a balanced nutritionally advanced pet food promoting the overall health and vitality of your dog. It has no added artificial colours or preservatives and is enriched with added vitamins, minerals, plant extracts and oils derived from nature.
Subject to approval of buyers, I will be setting up a WhatsApp group to keep new owners updated with the progress of the puppies with pictures and videos. The WhatsApp group can also then be used to keep us updated with their progress upon taking their pup home or to seek advice. If preferred, email correspondence can be chosen.
