2025 is our 20th year WM Farms Anniversary. We continue to put an extra emphasis on US x UK field working lines to achieve greater genetic diversity, health and longevity while retaining key field attributes.
General Litter Information:
Schedule:
All daily litter updates, videos and discussions for each litter will be on a private WhatsApp group.
The pups will be sold on limited AKC registration. Full registration is available after you obtain the final standard health certifications. Genetic, eye, heart, hip and elbows. Details included in the puppy contract. Invoices available for business purposes.
When registering your pup with the AKC, the official kennel name starts with WM Farms... whatever you choose after that. This helps me track the pups along their journey.
Gender and pick
The guideline for pick is the date you submitted your puppy application and subsequent payment. However, we also work hard at getting the right pup in the right hands. I reserve the right to work with you on that. Some will be more alpha than others. Usage and designation will be discussed in litter groups. Usage/need and puppy personality starting around 5 weeks old.

This is one of our most intriguing matches. Cora is one of our most complete UK x US working goldens. From looks, temperament to work ethic, she is stellar. Athletic and shorter coupled, she is the perfect compliment to our master upland hunter, Ephraim. This US x UK cross includes CLEAR genetics and a very low COI. Fantastic water attitude, prey drive and oh so athletic. Eph has 30 years of gundog breeding behind him. He has a quiet, pleasant, responsive and persistent working temperament. He just does his job! This is a pairing unlike any other we are offering.
