Latest News!

Frank and I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has been in touch with the Flat Coat Retriever Society, particularily to the person who deals with the rehoming of flat coats to find out if anything slanderous, insulting or demafatory has been said in relation to ourselves at Littlehill and our kennels.

We have lodged a formal complaint with the said society re the conduct of one of their office bearers regarding certain slanderous remarks that he has made to one of our clients. We are also seeking professional legal advice re a case of slander - if anyone visiting our site has had any such contact or has been told anything that may assist us in our case we will be very appreciative.

Frank and I would like to welcome you to our Flat Coat Retriever site, on our site you will see pictures and pedigrees of our flatties. We have some of the very best breeding in our dogs, on the "liver" side there is the famous Wizardwood kennels which is owned by Audrey and Peter Forster in Staffordshire, two of the most knowledgable people in the flat coat world. They have been breeding Flat Coats for many many years, they work and show their dogs with great success. Our favourite flat coat Taffy (Wizardwood Tawny Taffrail) came from them at the age of 6 months, he is the most lovely dog, faithful, beautiful exuberant and gentle. He lives in our home with a collection of kittens and cats who love him dearly and take the most awful liberties with him, this includes swinging from a very waggy tail and lying on his stomach when he is upside down having a snooze!

Our girls came from Daldarroch near Dumfries and from Ireland a lovely Princestar bred bitch. we also have a lovely bitch who came from the Belsud Kennels owned by Mrs Mary Grimes who unfortunately died last year All our dogs have a fantastic life with us on our farm in the North East of Scotland. We are proud of the puppies that we breed, they are healthy happy dogs and we have many many photos and cards from grateful people who now share their lives with a Littlehill bred Flat Coat. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our site.

Liitlehill is a fully Accreditted Kennel Club breeder and also fully licensed by our local authority.

OUR FLAT COAT RETRIEVERS ARE VERY MUCH PART OF OUR LIVES AT LITTLEHILL AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

Our Story

I have bred pedigree chocolate labrador retriever dogs for many years and around five years ago we looked into the possibility of owning and breeding flat coat retrievers. This may sound a simple thing to do but as we started approaching breeders we began to realise very quickly that a lot of flat coat breeders were not the easiest of people to deal with. Their attitude was very much that they have the right to breed flat coats but no one else should. We found the attitude of some breeders was very rude but then we were lucky enough to go to some breeders who were most helpful and pleasant and only to happy to help.. more >>>>
