Buccleuch Breeding Females
Thanks to all who made contact regarding the puppies from Buccleuch Calypso and Buccleuch Electra. These youngsters have now found their forever homes.
When we have any further availability it will initially be listed here on this page.
Buccleuch Calypso (Cassie)
Cassie has a homely temperament as she is part of a family home. She has a great nature for both walked up and driven shooting. She takes everything in her stride and is always willing to please.
Cassie has just given birth to a litter sired by F.T.Ch.Kentwone Columbine of Leacaz (Jed)
Jed has a fantastic temperament and was very easy to train and is a lovely size and shape of a dog. He has shown how talented he is by winning 5 x 2day Open stakes in a row last season, which has never been achieved before, this is the main reason we used him, to complement Cassie’s character
F.T.W. Buccleuch Electra (Kiera)
Kiera is a nice size of female who loves retrieving. She won her Novice Trial at Emblehope Estate and always gives you 100%. Kiera has just given birth to a litter sired by F.T.W. Greenbriar Kaiser of Abergowan (Kaiser).
Kaiser is a big handsome dog with a lovely temperament and has been part of the Scottish Gundog Team in the last 2 years and has just recently competed as part of the winning Scottish Team at the IWT in Belgium. He is clear of all health tests he has been tested for.
“I think the combination of Kiera and Kaiser will be a great match and I am looking forward to training some of their pups myself.” David Lisett.
Buccleuch Stud Dogs
Chapel Farm Kennels, home of Buccleuch Gundogs, is fortunate to have some very high quality dogs standing at stud. All stud dogs feature many Champions in their pedigrees which can be viewed below. Stud Fee for all dogs is £600.
To ensure that your bitch is ready for mating and to give the best chance of success we would ask that she undergoes ovulation testing. We recommend contacting the company “Mate Now”, who will provide a kit for blood sample collections at your vet. Mate Now Tel – 07990 547480 email- breederservices@tiscali.co.uk Visit their website, www.matenow.co.uk for information on progesterone testing including an informative short video on the home page indicating the benefits it brings.
- Prior to your bitch coming into season contact “Mate Now” to have an ovulation kit delivered.
- In our experience we would normally get bloods taken by your vet on day 9 after she had started bleeding. You will need to book a slot with your Vet to allow blood to be taken.
- Please let us know when your female comes into season to allow the kennels to be given an indication of a mating date, depending of course on test results.
- The Mate Now kit you receive will fully explain the procedures you will need to follow to give yourself the best chance of having a successful litter.
- Be careful of when you post the sample to Mate Now, this should be before 12.00 to make sure of next day delivery. Be cautious over weekends.
- Mate Now will then make contact with your results and let you know whether you will need to re-test or which day is the best day to have your female mated.
- Once you have the suggested date for mating please contact us again to discuss date and time to arrive at the kennels.
- Carrying out this process gives the best chance of your female having pups following an easier mating process.
By following the above procedures you will;
- Maximise the potential for a successful outcome.
- Reduce the chance of a wasted journey if bitch not ready.
- Remove the need for a double or repeat mating, freeing up valuable time for all.
- Alleviate stress for both dogs and owners.
