In Rough Collies I have made up one Champion and to date with several other dogs I have acquired 6 CC's and 6 RCC's. I started in Rough Collies in 1988 although I had shown my pedigree goats and Miniature & Toy Poodles in the early 1980's.
My first Rough Collie was 'Rishley Blue Topaz' [Treena] an adorable bitch running all Pelido lines. I then bought 'Rickwood Little Nell at Rayvel' [Lady] fom Jean & Colin Lawson in 1992, she produced 'Rayvel A Little Night Music' [Nardia] sired by Sylps Mr Ed, she is still with me at 15 and a half years old to date.
In 1994 I bought 'Shasam Sad Sweet Dreamer of Rayvel' [Maria] from Sally Humphrey's, sire by Pelido Forgotten Dreams ex Ch Shasam Stoned Love. Lines I have always admired and she became my foundation bitch. Shasam Sad Sweet Dreamer of Rayvel [Maria]
Mated to Ch Abbeywater Faberge at Evad gave me, 'Rayvel Rembrandt' [Dell] and 'Rayvel Je Ne Sais Quoi' [Theraise] both are still with me at 14 years old to date.
Teraise produced 'Rayvel De Ja Vu' [Sophie] sired by Clairone Lonely Dreamer at Pelido and Sophie produced 'Rayvel High Star over Bellcot' owned by Gwen Dinnage.
In 1999 I bought from Pat and Les Latham the lovely blue merle bitch who became 'Ch Eilroy Silver Thistle for Rayvel' 4 CC's & 5 RCC's [Crystal] she also gained British Collie of the Year for 2001. Ch Eilroy Silver Thistle for Rayvel. 4CC's & 5 RCC's
That year I also bought the lovely 'Hanvale Honeycomb for Rayvel' 1CC [Tasha] from Val Setchel
and when mated to Samhaven Selected for Trenley produced
I mated Rhianne to the handsome Treeview High Stakes for Rayvel [Ritchie] bred by Malcolm & Shirley Patterson and produced 'Rayvel Di Vinci' 1CC [Leon]. Also at this time I owned the handsome Bellcot Hi I'm Simon from Rayvel' 1 RCC bred by Gwen Dinnage.
I'm now looking forward to showing the youngsters waiting in the wings. Glenys & Rick Plank and Julie Lambert Nr Canterbury, KENT. |
