Dacres Gundogs is run by Kathy Hudson. 
Dacres Gundogs has been approved by South Hams Council as a Licensed Breeding Business. Licence number  SHAL0084.
My name is Kathy, I am married to Richard and we have two adult children Charlotte and Josh. 
We live in the beautiful county of Devon. 
Our first family dog was a beautiful Chocolate Labrador named Connie, in the following year Connie’s brother was born and Duke joined the family. Having two working dogs led me to Gundog lessons with West Dartmoor Gundog Group. Duke was a natural from the start, Connie not so much so she enjoyed the obedience session and then watched! 
Duke and I joined our first shoot many years ago, the rest is history, such a fantastic dog at both retrieving and flushing,
I love the shoot season, great fun and very rewarding having a well- trained dog. 
As Duke got older, we decided to add a spaniel to the family.  
We had been on a waiting list for an English Springer- Spaniel puppy from a fantastic breeder, Jeremy Organ and in May 2016 Forest was born. His parents are Rothieviale Medlar of Edgegrove FT CH and Edgegrove Orb. 
Many of Forest’s relatives are Field Trial Champions and fantastic working dogs. 
Forest now works on shoots in Devon, mostly flushing but he is also excellent at retrieving. 
The decision to start breeding came from wanting one of Forest’s pups, this led me to ensuring his health tests were suitable and when his Hip 2/2 and Elbow 0/0 scores came in, we knew it would be wonderful to breed from him. 
Blue our gorgeous Black Labrador joined the family after a friend said there was one pup left in a litter and she has his sister. Blue has been a joy to train and apart from producing gorgeous pups he works on various shoots in Devon. Blue is a proven stud, we are excited to see his next litter soon. 
Gara is Forest's son and has recently been tested and clear on all his health tests and like his dad produces stunning, strong pups. 
Gara also works on local shoots. He is health tested and all the dogs have passed their BVA eye test annually.
Tikka joined us age four after her owner passed away, she has fitted into the family and loving life, mostly her days are spent running with me and sleeping!  
Clementine is Tikka's daughter and also fully health tested and is hereditary clear due to both her mum Tikka and her dad Pip being tested. We hope to have a litter from Clementine next year, so fingers crossed. All of the dog's health tests are recorded on the Kennel Club. 
I advertise the dogs as available for stud on Champdogs.
