Dogs bought from Robin can be shipped direct to purchaser, or can be picked up at Duckhill Kennels. The purchaser who picks up his dog at Duckhill will receive some instruction from Robert Milner.
According to the customer's preference, arrangements can be made for Robin to personally accompany the dog from England and to give the new owner instruction on handling the dog.
The started and trained gundogs from England are of 2 categories:
1. Started dogs, steady, walking to heel, sit and stay. Price £1,500 to £2,500 plus export costs, which is roughly between £800 to £1,000 (maybe less dependant on ticket costs)
2. Fully trained dog, steady to shot, water and land retrieving, handles on blinds and seen retrieves, hip and eye tested. Price between £4,000 to £7,000. The lower range would obviously apply if 3/4 trained and again plus export costs.
