Gus
Sh Ch Arnac Bay Hunron at Bergelle JW
Owned by: Maddie Mahon-Hunns, Jodie Hunns & James Newton
Gus is such a lovable dog. He has a heart of gold getting on with dogs, people, kids, cats etc. He is such a character and brings so much joy to our home. When he isnt toasting himself by the fire, he spends time down on the marshes, he does also enjoy a spot of shooting with Jodie on his down time.

We would like to thank all the judges who have thought so highly for Gus to achieve this.
A big thank you goes to Chrissie Mayhew who bred Gus, who would couldn't be without.
Sire of Winning Offspring
Due to the small nature of the gene pool in the UK, we have only allowed Gus to be used at limited Stud.
We are extremely proud of his offspring who have gone on to win multiple CC & RCC.
As well as working working homes where they have excelled on driven shoots, gundog training and much more.
We enjoy taking an active role in the puppies lives and follow all his offspring closely.
We wish them every success.
