BUCCLEUCH GUNDOGS - THE KENNEL FOR TRAINING & BREEDING GUNDOG CHAMPIONS
The Buccleuch Gundogs, part of Buccleuch Sporting, have long held a special place in the history of the Buccleuch Estates.
In the 1830’s, the 5th Duke of Buccleuch was one of the first people in Britain to appreciate the full potential of these naturally exuberant dogs. Since he imported the first Labrador from Newfoundland, the Buccleuch Kennel has been home to generations of these wonderful animals.
Today, the Buccleuch Kennel is home to many champion gundogs who have won many prestigious accolades, including the British and Irish Springer Spaniel Championships, under the expert handling of David Lisett.
David has just returned from the Kennel Club’s 80th English Springer Spaniel Championship Stake 2009/10 winning 1st place with Buccleuch Jazz (read more).
Used mainly by gamekeepers on the Estates, these inspiring animals have displayed the strength, courage and tenacity of true champions to form the heart of the new Buccleuch Kennel, “Chapel”, which sits on the Queensberry Estate near Drumlanrig Castle (www.drumlanrig.com).
