Ria was lovingly bred by Lynne Minchella (Abbeystead) and came to us at 7 months. This sweet bitch captured my heart the moment I laid eyes on her at Lynne’s house and once here, I fell head over heels in love with her. She has a funny and wicked sense of humour, loves everyone and everything and lives life to the max - Ria is also the messiest drinker I had ever known....that was until she had Bob...now HE is the messiest drinker I know!!
My beautiful RiRi is the love of my life - due to her superb temperament she is a total joy to live with and take anywhere. Ria has an adorable nature and has the best outlook on life - everyone and everything is greeted with confidence, a big lick and an even bigger wag! If you want your clothes to remain clean, don't say hello to Ria - her way of greeting everyone is to pop her paws on their shoulders and lick their face! I tried to stop it but hey, our home is a doggy home and if you don't like it, you need not visit again :)
Although royally show bred, gundog work with Ria is my main interest. Ria accompanied me on the shoot for the first time in the Winter of 2008/2009 and although new to it, she really turned her abilities on and made me very proud! Ria spent this last Winter picking up on our farm shoot while also teaching her son, Bob, how it's done.
Ria is a Bronze Kennel Club Good Citizen.
