Ember & Echo
Welcome to the other branch of Raezhaven Gundogs, which will feature our present Flatcoated Retrievers, and hopefully the next generation, which we expect to arrive hopefully by the end of 2010. We hope to include pictures of Echos' brothers and sisters as they are sent to us.
Although we have been breeding dogs for over 13 years, we are a very small establishment and our breeding is occasional, not intense. We carry out all the necessary health screening on our dogs, and strive to maintain good health and peak physical fitness in all our dogs.
Prior to breeding, our requirements are for both the sire and dam to be Kennel Club registered, have low hip scores, hold current BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificates for PRA and also have been tested for Glaucoma predisposition. They need to be healthy, good natured, and intelligent and have all the qualities you would expect in a good flatcoated retriever.

Raezhaven The Way To Go
We aim to produce offspring with excellant temperament, and good trainability, that are true to breed type, capable of working in the field, or being loyal canine companions.
Our Flatcoat story began in May 2004 when Ember joined our canine family. We had decided for some time that this was the retriever breed for us, and started our search for a liver bitch. Eventually we found an excellant breeder in Norfolk, Mr David Wheeler, Ripplethorpe, and off we set to visit our pup when she was 5 weeks old, and then returned at 8 weeks old to collect her. It was a long way but well worth it......our love for the breed was born.

Although Ember no longer lives with us, you can read all about her, on her page, and we have her to thank for starting our passion and love for the flatcoated retriever and for providing us with her lovely daughter Echo.....

We will be transferring all the Flatcoat information and pictures from the other site and hope to have all things flatcoat related, featured on this dedicated site........
