About Us
Working Canines is a small, independent, family run concern, based in South Fife, that specialises in the training of Spaniels and other gundog breeds.
We occasionally breed top quality, working class Spaniels, when we need a dog for ourselves. 
These dogs can be used in a variety of working environments.  We also aim to, on a one to one basis, train working dogs for those of you who need help in this department.
One of our training areas is a beautiful country park in South Fife, which offers a varied terrain. The dogs will experience lots of different conditions, from heather through ferned woodlands to rolling fields down to the loch.
 Most training scenario's can be catered for in this countryside environment.
Although our passion is gundogs, we can cater for other breeds and will advise as to what level of obedience you can expect from each different breed.
Advice is free and we will endeavour to return your call or email within 24 hours if you require help.


Our Spaniels
We currently concentrate on training our spaniels for the flushing and retrieving of gamebirds. Our Spaniels are bred for their ability to hunt pheasants and other game birds in exceptionally overgrown areas, and to flush these birds out of hiding. Although our dogs also make great pets, they are bred exclusively for their hunting abilities.

Occasionally we have Springer Spaniel pups for sale, these are bred from excellent pedigree working dogs.
We also offer a training service for owners of any type of Gundog.
We will also assist with the training of other breeds, to a basic obedience level, if that is all you require.

Ideally dogs are taken for training between the age of six months and one year of age, but it is not uncommon to take older dogs if you feel this is necessary.

If you choose to have your dog trained we can deliver good results in approximately three weeks. You will have the option of leaving the dog for a three week period, or if you are willing to travel, we can accommodate training on an hourly basis. Prices start at fifteen pounds an hour, without accommodation.
We aim to have your dog walking to heel, on and off the lead, sitting and staying, coming back to the whistle (recall), obeying hand signals and retreiving a dummy to hand by the age of twelve months.

We do not "hard" train our dogs, we use the dogs natural ability and let the dog develop its natural skills. Not all dogs have the same qualities, just like humans, and it is the ability to see each individual dog's potential, that we build upon.

            Training advice
We endeavour to help those of you who wish to start your puppy off on the right paw, by offering advice on our other pages. If you have any other problems that are not covered on the advice pages and would like to discuss them, please get in touch via email/MSN, the links are on the CONTACT US page on the side menu. Let us know how we may be able to help you.


Accommodation
We are able to accommodate your dog in our stone built kennel. Accommodation consists of a concrete floored, stone building with a large secure run which the dogs can access via the dog flap. The building is heated when necessary. Sleeping accommodation is by way of separate wire crates which are clean, hygienic and warm. Clean Vet bedding and quality food, along with regular excercise ensure that your dog is happy during its stay with us. Prices start at ten pounds a night with discount for longer periods.
Occasionally we are asked to accommodate a dog which is not used to the kennel environment. This can be done by appointment and after an assessment has been made as to your dogs temperament etc.
