Breeze. My first home bred champion.Best Of Breed Crufts 2001.Produced (to date) 3 champions and another CC winner in the same litter.A very special girl, my best friend and soul mate and sadly missed.

I have owned, exhibited and bred Flatcoats since 1988.I am approved to award Kennel Club Challenge Certificates in the breed and have also judged many times in other European countries .I only keep a few dogs at a time and breed very occassionally.To date, the following dogs owned or bred by myself have become champions.

I am a committee member of the Flatcoated Retriever Club of Scotland and was Show Secretary for the club for 11 years.I currently serve on the health and judges sub committees. First and foremost, my dogs are pets and companions who all live in the house and enjoy life to the full.
