ravensbank field trial labrador retrievers
  • The first birds are down, and I am receiving instruction from the judge. Ravensbank Jock (Jock) seemingly is all-in, and so is Flo to the right.
  • Ravensbank Wagtail (Waggie) is a very agile and powerful retriever, who easily jumps over fences and other obstacles on her way. You may think that this is something that I command her to do, but the fact is, that she chooses to jump a fence on her way out or home (or both), if she sees that it means cutting time out of bringing the bird or in this case a dummy to me.
  • A fine picture of Ravensbank Sir Percivale (Percy), from Waggie's first litter. On this picture Percy is almost 11 months old.
  • Ravensbank Sir Kay (Tino) on the day where he passed the aptitude test, 11 months old.
  • Lovely picture of Ravensbank Tip (Tipi) taken in April 2010, where he is barely two years old.
  • This is what happens when you as Ravensbank Jock (Jock) here has a ten days

Sire: Lochiness Green Chive

Sire to Waggie's two first litters, DKBRCH DKJCH Lochiness Green Chive (Chive), caught exactly as the command to

Being conceived in England before travelling to Denmark where he was born, DKBRCH DKJCH Lochiness Green Chive (Chive) is from pure English field trial lines. He is sound in every way and well built with a good expression and good coat. Chive is a very talented and promising dog. He has a lovely biddable nature, is easily trained and posesses all the qualities you want to find in a fine working Labrador Retriever.

Chive completed the Young Dogs Championship in 2008. Through 2008 he qualified for field trial and coldgame tests in competition class. In September 2011 he has become Danish Working Champion, which is achieved with one Field Trial win and two Cold Game Test wins. In November he was awarded the title of Danish Field Trial Champion.

In spite of his young age he shows a lot of experience as he works as a gundog, and it is always a great pleasure to see him work on picking up days.

Chive is dominant black, which means that all puppies are black. He is clear of PRA and CNM. He carries an eye-certificate from March 2011 clear of any heriditary eye diseases.

As much as four different winners of the IGL Championship is listed in Chives' 5 generation pedigree, among them the sire to his father, GBFTCH Willowyck Ruff, who won in 2007.

Dam: Ravensbank Wagtail

Ravensbank Wagtail (Waggie) is a very calm and biddable Field Trial Labrador Retriever. This picture was taken in April 2009, one week after she was mated.

Waggie is a very charming bitch and she has a lot of speed and style when she is working. At the same time, Waggie is a pleasant and calm dog with loads of will-to-please, which makes her a joy to work with. Already before she competed at the Young Dogs' Championship, Waggie qualified for Open Class cold game test, and she qualified for Open Class Field Trial in 2009.

Waggie is bred by myself and her sire and her dam are both imported from England in 2004. Her sire is DKBRCH DKJCH Cynhinfa Emperor (Leo). He is a Danish Field Trial Champion and Working Champion (top merited on both cold and warm game), and won silver at the Danish Team Championship in 2008. Waggies dam is my own Tidemark Ivy (Ivy) who has been awarded 2nd Winner (CACT Quality) in Cold Game Open Competition Class, and she was part of the team taking the Bronze medal at the Danish Team Championship in 2006.

Waggie has A hipscore (clear), Clear elbows (0). She is EIC-clear and CNM-clear through parents and tested Optigen Clear. She carries an eye-certificate from September 2011 clear of any heriditary eye diseases.

In Waggie's 5 generation pedigree you will find two different winners of the IGL Championship, among them the sire to her father, INTFTCH Craighorn Bracken, who won in 2001.

This is Waggie's third litter, and the two previous litters have also been sired by Chive. When I opt to repeat this combination, it is because the combination of Waggie and Chive delivers lovely puppies who are easy to train and has a lovely temper. At the same time these dogs "look smart" and hence they are particularly well suited as sporting dogs.
