Welcome to Jacoflintbay Gundogs based in South Lincolnshire. We are an experienced family run, 5* council licensed breeder, founded in 2015.
If you are looking for a dog which has been bred for quality, temperament and trainability and where careful consideration has been given to breeding choices; we may be the breeder for you.
Our pups would suit owners who are looking for a working companion, in the shooting field, agility, scent work or in an active pet home. We have the knowledge to help guide you to pick the puppy that best suits what you are looking for.
We breed Labradors and English Springer Spaniels, and all our breeding dams are health tested and Kennel Club Registered. Our bitches have also competed in Working Tests where they have won awards, Tess winning Best Puppy at her second attempt.
All our puppies are home reared, have a solid early socialisation experience, are health checked by our vet, wormed, flea treated, microchipped, docked (ESS), and go home with 5 weeks free insurance and a puppy pack.
We are always on hand for support and advice if required.
