# Rufriver Gundogs Description
Rufriver Gundogs is a specialist gundog training and breeding operation based in North Norfolk, near Kings Lynn. Run by Allie, an A panel judge for retrievers, the business combines professional training expertise with a carefully managed breeding programme focused on working Labradors.
The business serves gun dog enthusiasts, field trial competitors, and dog owners seeking positive reinforcement training methods. Allie works with clients ranging from puppy owners developing their dog's foundational skills through to experienced handlers preparing dogs for competition. The business also serves breeders and individuals seeking quality working Labradors for breeding purposes.
What sets Rufriver Gundogs apart is their philosophy of training from a different perspective. Rather than pressure-based methods, they employ positive reinforcement techniques delivered in a relaxed, non-pressured environment. Training takes place across varied terrain on a stunning Norfolk estate—woodland and different cover types—which builds genuine confidence in dogs rather than mere compliance.
Their breeding programme demonstrates serious commitment to quality: all dogs are bred from field trial and working lines, health checked through British Veterinary Association schemes, and DNA tested for hereditary conditions affecting Labradors. This ensures puppies inherit both working ability and genetic health.
The business offers flexibility in training delivery, from intensive one-to-one sessions tailored to individual goals through to group training options, making their expertise accessible to different learning preferences and schedules.
