Redcypher Sporting Retrievers is about developing a high-end intelligently sound, competitive working dog that will fit most human environments. Fit for purpose, robust, physically healthy and highly trainable.
How are we doing this?
We import some of the very best genetics from Europe and USA. I train and compete with my dogs around the country. From this breeding I select the healthiest puppies that show the most acumen in their early development stage, both bold and confident displaying team player attributes with an aptitude and will to learn.
We are constantly developing our puppies further, training them into highly obedient individuals who adore their work without losing any of their natural working hunting abilities as they grow and mature into adulthood.
I then breed from that proven stock, the dog that is not only healthy but the dog that has shown it can take instruction, biddable demonstrating they can train easily.
ABOUT US
KARL BRITTON
I have actively pursued an interest in working dogs all my life. Having tried several breeds of working dogs and more recently Labradors, training retrievers are my first passion, be it training, shooting or just having some fun.
My family and I immigrated to Australia from the UK. I was an Army Officer in the Australian Defence Force retiring in 2019. We moved to the natural State in 2023 or as the locals say the apple isle, Tasmania. We have our own kennels and whelping room that was designed around our country style living. I have my very own training grounds and water training ponds.
Previously I was an active game shooter, field trialer, deer and conservation manager, and before departing from the UK, I was selected to trial for the England gundog team.
I am an active member of TCA Inc, VCA, DQ, F&GA, SSAA. I am the President of local T21 dog club and I am also representative for the Tasmanian Retrieving community for Dogs Australia. We strive for excellence in training dogs to compete at the highest level.
I enjoy training days coaching/mentoring as well as participating and assisting at trials, having completed the Judges training scheme, I am a qualified Championship judge. I enjoy setting runs for retriever trial assessment; it is a great privilege and honour judging/competing dogs and handlers.

ABOUT OUR DOGS
I breed both black and yellow dogs, and specialise in Fox Reds - a darker shade of Yellow Labrador. All breeding stock is extensively health tested and has a full genetic DNA profile.
Some of my stock will go to competing retriever or scent detection homes sometimes hunting, or a mixture of all three. I am proud to say our dogs have a great reputation and highly sought to do sophisticated blue light courses, trained in various Police disciplines, in particular search scent detection, including Australian customs to be used in essential government tasking. This can be sniffer detection dog, specialising in Drug detection, explosive detection or Bio security for customs at National airports.
Most will go as pets where they will be equally at home.
I have also supplied dogs to human search and rescue as well as cadaver, including human assistant dogs’ for PTSD and autism.
