If love could have saved you,

You would have lived forever.

Our first flatcoat, our first Champion, magnificent beyond our wildest imaginations, driven retriever of tennis balls, swimmer extraordinaire,  lapdog to watch TV, bedtime companion.  He led us to conformation and field retrieving adventures with such joy and enthusiasm. Our special boy.

Loved with a Love beyond all feeling,

Missed with a Grief beyond all tears.

The 13 ½ years we shared with Ravin were wonderful and we can't be anything but thankful for all the memories that she gave us. Ravin won her first point at her 1st show in 1990, and won her class at the National Specialty in 2003.
She leaves a legacy of descendants through her kids. Her elegance and soundness and "look at me" attitude will be seen for generations to come.

Kaya came to live with us in November, 2009. She was adopted from a local family here in Virginia with the assistance of CRFCRC Rescue,  Melody Daniels and Holly Stein. Please look for me on the rescue page!!!

Kaya is a natural in obedience earning her CGC/TDI 4 months after we got her. She has gone on to earn her CD, RN, 1 GN leg and 2 RA legs. She earned her BN title in 3 tries, her CD in 4 tries and her RN title in 4 tries. Kaya has earned several placement rosettes.

She is such a joy and my introduction to the world of the Flat Coated Retriever!
