Field Trial Winner Drakeshead Flycatcher — black working Labrador at stud, carrier of yellow (Ee at the Extension locus), from Sandra and John Halstead's kennel in Cliviger. Bred deliberately for working temperament and the biddability the Drakeshead affix has been known for across fifty years. Flycatcher's hereditary-clear panel and TRUE COLOUR (DD) status make him a strong outcross option for careful working-line breeders — carrier status matters for planned breedings where a yellow or black outcome is being targeted. Stud arrangement: cash or bank transfer at the stud fee below; any bitch presented for service should carry current hip/elbow scoring and OptiGen results to be discussed with the kennel. Enquiries direct to Sandra at drakeshead1@btconnect.com or by phone on 01254 831363.
