Stud Dogs

In the UK, “studding” working dogs, like those trained for gundog roles, involves pairing a qualified male dog with a female to produce puppies with specific skills and traits suited to work environments. At Oakshot gundogs we specialise in gundog training, often provide stud services to help ensure future generations of working dogs maintain strong instincts, temperament, and physical abilities needed for tasks such as retrieving and fieldwork. Oakshot handles this process by selecting top-performing stud dogs with proven training, pedigree, and health clearances. Through a structured contract, Oakshot outlines stud terms, including payment, care, and welfare requirements, prioritising ethical breeding practices that produce highly skilled and healthy gundogs ideal for working homes.
