We had a great day at LKA Championship Show 2023 under judge Dave Killilea of Redwitch fame...with all 3 of the boys winning their classes...
Billy aka Rodiveco Porra Chinaco - won Junior Dog, the Dog CC and Best of Breed
Eli aka Ch Carraigbern Noble Heart of Rodiveco (IKC) - won the Open Dog Class
and finally George aka Rodiveco King Of Hearts - won Best Puppy Dog & Best Puppy In Breed

Eli wins the Dog CC and Best of Breed at Darlington Championship Show under the very well-respected judge Frank Kane....he then went onto win Best in Show at the Northern Bernese Mountain Dog Club Open Show under Pauline Luxmoore-Ball. Very proud of our boy !

Our Golden puppies have had a few busy weekends of visitors of late and this one was of no exception! Lots of people visiting and socialising them, getting them ready for the "real" world !

On Thursday we had our friend Leena Pawlyszyn visit for some puppy socialisation with her 2 puppies sired by Oscar (Frazer and Zoe)...they had a great time with their half brother and sister - George and Indi !!
With a little bit of sun out later on, this meant our 3 week old Oscar babies could also enjoy a little bit of time out to play !
We currently have just one puppy bitch available to a loving home in our 3 week old litter..

We had a great day at National Working and Pastoral Breeds Championship Show yesterday, with "Eli," Ch Carraigbern Noble Heart of Rodiveco (IKC) winning Best of Breed, then shortlisted in a very strong Working Group..

Our last litter of 2023 is here and are thriving ! Nice and chunky and mum is doing a fab job ! They are currently all spoken for, although things can change...we will then plan to have more puppies next year and in the mean time enjoy growing our new additions. 

We have been waiting to do this combination for a while now and have been very pleased with the results...The puppies have been a real joy, with such laid back temperaments but completely full of fun..
The combination between Oscar and Frankie on the Histiocytic Sarcoma Index test is also very pleasing with the percentages 65% A and 35% B.. so it will be interesting for our own research purposes to watch how everything develops with this litter. 

​We had a great day at Manchester Championship Show with our Rodiveco team under all rounder judge Joe Smith, where we won the DOUBLE ….
With our Swedish Princess “Ella-Rose” winning Best Bitch and her third and crowning CC…making her now Champion Tjofselinas UK Ella Rose For Meadowpark (imp Swe) subject to KC confirmation thanks to Lisa for handling her so beautifully, as always.
“Eli,” Ch Carraigbern Noble Heart of Rodiveco (IKC) won Open Dog, his Sixth CC and went on to beat Ella for Best of Breed
It was definitely a family affair, with their daughter “Frankie” aka Rodiveco Queen Of Hearts (on 2CC’s, 1 Res CC) winning another Limit Bitch Class.
And also “Billy,” Rodiveco Porra Chinaco qualified for Crufts at his first ever show with rather minimal show training he was a at 7 months, took everything in his happy stride and excited to see how he matures.

With 2023 just hours away, we would both like to take this opportunity to wish all of our family and friends, both near and far a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

2022 has been a fantastic year for our small kennel - Winning 7 CC's, 2 RCC's and 5 BOB's on 3 different dogs and making up our 'Eli', Ch Carraigbern Noble Heart Of Rodiveco (IKC), into a Champion.   Thank you to everyone that has played a part in this success and to the judges who have appreciated our dogs in the show ring.

We have welcomed 2 fantastic litters into the world out of our Rodiveco girls and we are so looking forward to watching them develop.  The future is certainly looking bright!
