Spring 2027 Litter

A British Lab Built for the Field and the Family.

McKinney Gundogs is accepting waitlist applications for our Spring 2027 litter out of Swift Iris — FTCH/GRCH lineage, trained through our 4-phase program, and bred to produce dogs that are calm at home and dependable in the field.

The Dam
Swift Iris
FTCH / GRCH Lineage · British Labrador

Swift Iris is a 10-month-old British Labrador bitch and the foundation female of McKinney Gundogs' breeding program. She comes from FTCH and GRCH lineage — Field Trial Champion and Grand Retriever Champion bloodlines representing some of the most proven genetics in the British Lab world.

British Labs are built differently than their American counterparts. Softer in temperament, more biddable, calmer in the home, and still fully capable in the field. They make exceptional hunting companions and family dogs simultaneously — which is exactly why we chose this bloodline.

Iris is being trained through the McKinney Gundogs 4-phase program and will be a finished gundog before she is bred.
