Cottershot Gundogs

Cottershot Gundogs is a small working gundog kennel in Hawes, specialising in Labrador Retrievers. It breeds only occasional litters, primarily to meet its own need for reliable working companions. Certified by North Yorkshire Council, the kennel maintains a deliberately limited breeding programme focused on practical field dogs. The breeding objective combines correct Labrador type with sound temperament, trainability and health. Cottershot Gundogs aims to produce capable dogs suited to work, with the qualities needed to learn their role and remain dependable companions. Each planned litter reflects these clearly defined priorities. All dogs at the kennel work throughout the shooting season and are used across different types of game. This field experience keeps the breeding aims connected to genuine working demands. Cottershot Gundogs therefore presents a small-scale programme centred on functional, healthy and trainable Labradors.
