Quincy x Reggie Summer 2025
US x UK field and working combination for high level of genetic diversity. Field tested coupled with an exceptional field pedigree including UK IGL competitive level and US Master National 3rd series. Well structured, athletic, terrific field coats, and very biddable temperaments.
Pedigree Analysis
Genetic Litter Information - Litter Diversity - US x UK field and working cross.
Pedigree Calculated Coefficient Of Inbreeding (COI): 0.61%
Ancestor Loss Coefficient (AVK): 36.79% (Higher the percentage, the higher the diversity)
At the 4th generation on the maternal side there is a significant outcross using Lady Sheila of WM Farms, a hunting golden, who has a calculated COI of 0.0% meaning she doesn't have a single common ancestor in her first 10 generation. Indicating a higher mean level of genetic diversity, heterozygousy contributing to this breeding.
Common Ancestors:
There are only 4 common ancestors in 10 generations.
The first common ancestor for both parents appears at the 9th generation. No golden is contributing more than 5% calculated blood% to this litter.

This litter has 36 significant field and working titles throughout the maternal and paternal lines. Including Master National, Field Trials and IGL competitive level from the UK. While this pedigree is highly diverse, it also retains a high level of competitive achievements. In addition, there are a number of hunting goldens and a variety of usages that contribute to key field traits. A number of titles suggest a very biddable temperament, well sized, muscular builds, attractive head/ear/eye set, speed and athleticism have been notably breed into both litter pedigrees.
Ailsa x Mac Fall 2025
Pending Final OFA Exam
Ailsa, Scotland born, imported to the USA. She is the embodiment of the original genesis of working golden lineage. Beautiful, smart, classic UK temperament with working drive. Mac earned his MACH6 and ADHF titles last year. Rick has been working with agility dogs since the 80's. He will tell you that Mac is undoubtedly the best golden he's trained in MACH events. US x UK field bred outcross, this future litter offers a rare genetic pairing, low calculated COI, high genetic diversity, family longevity, CLEAR on testable genetics, both exuding with athleticism and fun working drive. Anyone considering participating in agility-like usages, should take a serious look at this litter.
Cora x Ephraim - Fall 2025
Pending Final OFA Exam
This is one of our most intriguing matches. Cora is one of our most complete field goldens. From looks, temperament to work ethic, she is stellar. We plan to run her JH in the spring. Athletic and shorter coupled, she is the perfect compliment to our master upland hunter, Ephraim. A US x UK cross that offers 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 is so easy to work with. Quiet, responsive and persistent. He just does his job! This is a pairing unlike any other we are offering.
Pepper x Andy Late Summer 2025
Pending Final OFA Exam
I don't get them like Pepper very often. Especially in a UK x US working cross. She managed to gather a lot of field trial talent from the UK side along with the FC talent on the US side. At a young age she has figured out the game upland quickly. She is so fast and athletic, she can catch wild pheasants from the bush. She earned her JH (4-4) in 2024. She is very driven and works easily at 400-500 yard distances. I chose Andy to compliment the FT traits. He earned his JAM at a QUAL. This future litter is planned to give us a real chance at going far into competition. Pups best suited in homes with competitive plans.
