Our Dargdaffin and Mucklehart Dogs
Over the years Dargdaffin dogs have gone all over the country and to many places in the world. They are owned by competitors, shooters, wildfowlers, stalkers and keepers
We constantly get good reports of them and the owners often come back to us for a second or third dog either as a replacement for a lost companion or because they just "have to" have another Dargdaffin dog
The Mucklehart line has only just started but with very promising results so far
On this page we show the dogs that are with us just now. Some are permanent crew, others are staying with us whilst they get a couple of years experience before being available to a new home. Some are young dogs just starting out and will be available as part trained later one.
We often keep back pups from each litter so we can check that our breeding program is "On Track"

Dargdaffin Flash is a stylish and well trained dog. His hips are 8:8 but we have always felt this was a little unfair. He is a a dog that "just gets on" with the job. Easy to handle. Born in 2002 he moves well and works very stylishly. Flash is part of our permanent picking up crew. He is sire to the Mucklehart "A" Litter
He is listed on our Stud Page

Dargdaffin Hamish is a full member of the Picking up team. Hips 0:2, Bill has done some "test" work with him. It is unlikely that he would be available for sale. Born September 2006. He is available at Stud to Optigen Clear Bitches as he is a carrier
Dargdaffin Legend is dark yellow Bitch from the L litter, Optigen clear, Eyes Clear, Hip Score 2:4
She has had a great 2nd 1/2 of the season picking up

Dargdaffin Lance is being bought on slowly. His hips have been tested and come back as 0:0. He has been transferred to Bills kennels to run along side Hamish. He is Optigen and Eyes clear
Opal is now a fully fledged member of the picking up team, a nicer spaniel I have yet to find. My Son Angus has "claimed" him
Dargdaffin Luna can be a unnerving dog at times. Her return is so fast and she so desperate to place the retrieve in your hands it can sometimes make you feel like you want to step backwards.
Optigen and eyes clear. Hips 3:4 she draws admiring looks as she is such a pretty dog
Luna works well with Opel and has taken some amazing runners in the 2011/12 season

Mucklehart Astrid was kept from the first Mucklehart litter.
She was a easy choice as she has a lot of the same characteristics as her Dam, Cora and the stamina of her Sire Flash.
Astrid is on loan to a good friend who reports that she has had a very good first season in the field
Hip score 2-2
