Introducing The Kugae Gun Dogs: Our Pick Up Team

Christmas is all about tradition, teamwork, and gratitude. And as part of our 12 Days of Christmas, we’re shining a spotlight on the pets who quietly make our days in the field run smoothly — our picking up team.

These dogs play a vital role on every shoot day - from marking and retrieving to handling game with care, they show consistency, drive, and calm reliability in all conditions. Each one brings something different to the team, yet together they form a dependable and well-balanced picking-up line.

Over the festive period, we want to shine a light on the dogs that work so hard throughout the season. Their training, attitude, and natural ability are a credit to the standards we value, and they are a pleasure to watch in the field.

Join us as we celebrate the dogs that give their all, day after day, and help make every shoot run smoothly.

Big James

James loves a good fuss too, though he often forgets just how big he is — one cuddle and you’re nearly knocked off your feet!

Rosie Moo Cow

Our Rosie is a very calm dog but when she starts working she is the most energetic thing ever.

Rainy

You could quite literally take Rain anywhere and she would behave impeccably, she just has the nicest nature. 

Kuggy Wuggy

Kugae is a homebred dog of ours, I can honestly say, hand on heart, he was the most miserable puppy...

Ward

Edward is the most cuddly Labrador you'll ever meet. He’s the only dog we’ve known who would rather have a cuddle than a treat!

Mr Wolf

Wolf is a beast outside when he is working and never seems to get tired! Our YouTube Supaw Star...

Florence

You wouldn’t think it now... but Flo was the naughtiest puppy we ever remember having!

TT

If you want to see a Springer Spaniel turn into The Flash, she’s your girl!

Fenjelina

The Lion of the kennels...

Rag A Muffin

It’s Raggys land and not anybody else’s!!

Dougie Dog

It was clear from the beginning Dougie would make a great gundog, just like his parents.

Maccy Doo's

Just like his Uncle Wolf!

Day in, day out, they work with confidence, consistency, and heart, whatever the weather or conditions.

These dogs are a pleasure to watch and a privilege to work alongside. Their ability, training, and attitude reflect the care and time invested in them, and they play a huge role in ensuring each day in the field runs smoothly and responsibly.
