Fox Red Labrador Puppies – Litter Due June 2026
Thistlerun Royal Miss Ruby × Ronnie Red of Cottershot (“Arthur”)
Thistlerun Gundogs are delighted to announce the planned final litter from our exceptional homebred bitch, Thistlerun Royal Miss Ruby.
This is a particularly special litter for us, as Ruby represents the third generation within our kennel lines, making these puppies the fourth generation of Thistlerun Gundogs. Due to the quality and significance of this pairing, we will also be retaining a puppy ourselves.
Ruby is a proven working fox red Labrador with an outstanding temperament, strong natural ability, and excellent trainability. She works consistently throughout the shooting season, 4–5 days per week, across all game including pheasant, duck, partridge, and grouse. Alongside her working ability, Ruby possesses a calm and affectionate nature, making her equally suited to both working and family environments.
The sire, Ronnie Red of Cottershot (“Arthur”), is a stunning full working fox red Labrador from neighbouring kennels whose dogs we have worked alongside for many years. Arthur is known for his drive, biddability, temperament, and strong working lines. This carefully considered pairing has been selected to produce puppies with exceptional temperaments, intelligence, trainability, and working ability.
