A Passion for Working Gundogs.
Quality gundog training, breeding and working dogs from the heart of the Carmarthenshire countryside.
Quality, Character and Natural Ability.
Ffynongain is a small kennel with quality at its heart, from our working gundogs through to the puppies we breed.
With over 38 years of experience in training, showing and breeding gundogs, Huw Jones has developed a reputation for producing quality sporting dogs with excellent working ability and trainability.
Our kennels are situated near St Clears in the Carmarthenshire countryside of West Wales. The surrounding countryside provides an ideal setting for field sports and gundog training, with convenient access to the M4.
We believe that the fundamental principles of good training apply across working breeds.

At Ffynongain, we believe that natural hunting ability is the foundation of a successful working gundog.
Our approach begins by allowing dogs to develop and demonstrate their natural hunting instincts before building on those abilities through structured training.

Bred for the Field. At Home in the Family.
We value gundogs that combine natural working ability, sound temperament and trainability — qualities that matter both in the shooting field and at home.

Working ability, pedigree and temperament are central to our approach.
A Lifetime Dedicated to Gundogs.
Huw's love of gundogs began with his grandfather, who trained and bred Irish Setters and Welsh Springer Spaniels.
Although he did not compete in the early years, Huw entered a trial in 1992 judged by Mr Keith Earlson. His Labrador was placed, with the judge commenting positively on the dog's hunting ability.
That experience helped shape the approach that continues to influence the training of Ffynongain gundogs today.
