Raven (kennel name:- Meg ) has turned out to be a really smart looking bitch who has developed plenty of leg under her, she is now the same height as her father , but still has room to put on a bit more weight as she develops, this will come about as she does more jumping and swimming always a good muscle building program.
We also intend to give her more uphill retrieves this will really help to put the muscle on her as she races out to fetch the dummy, she really is developing into a nice bitch with a lovely temperament just like her father, her training is now coming on in leaps and bounds she has started to face cover and retrieve from water, in fact on her very first outing with the older dogs to water we had a job to restrain her as she watched her father retrieve a dummy, then it was her turn to retrieve, straight in no bother there at all, since then she has been out a few more times each time she improves if she turns out any thing like her father it wont be long before she is diving down to retrieve from the bottom of the lake as he does.
on February 2005 Meg was entered into a working test in Anglesey (Anglesey Retriever Club) she was enterd into the puppy class twelve to eighteen months under Mr P Smithies and Mrs Smithies and went on to take her first win lets hope that this is the first of many.

In 2006 meg produced a lovely litter of pups for us, Sired by F.T.CH Millcottage Pathfinder winner of the International Gundog
League Retriever Championships held at the Queensberry Estate in Dumfries and Galloway. See 2006 litter page.
