Raven went from strength to strength in 2007 gaining many Best of Breed awards, Group 1 placings at Open shows, Reserve Best Bitch at Manchester Championship show and has been consistently placed in her classes at Championship shows.  In May 2007, Raven won Best In Show at the Yorkshire Collie Club open show and Reserve CC at Three Counties Championship Show in June, where her brother Riff also gained another RCC. She gained her Stud Book Number at this show too. Raven won the Bitch CC and Best Opposite Sex at Scottish Kennel Club in August 2007.

Raven won her classes at many breed club shows and was awarded Best Tricolour at the Midland Collie Club and the Yorkshire Collie Club.

All three tricolours from this amazing litter each won Best In Show at a Collie Club show in 2007. A real achievement, and something we are justifiably proud of.

Raven began 2008 by winning Best Bitch and Best Opposite Sex at Manchester Championship show. She has been a consistent first prize winner at both Championship and Open Shows, winning 24 Best of Breed awards in succession and has been placed many times in Pastoral Group competition too. She completed the qualification for her Show Certificate of Merit Award in May 2008.

We were delighted when Raven won Best In Show for the second year running and was awarded Best Tricolour again at the Yorkshire Collie Club open show also in May.

Raven got her hat-trick in October 2008 when she won another Best In Show, from a huge entry of 122 rough and smooth collies, at the East Anglian Collie Association in October 2008.

After taking Best of Breed at her last Open Show in November 2008, Raven was put on maternal duties and produced a litter in January 2009. Raven will return to the show ring late in 2009.

Raven won Best In Show at the East Anglian Collie Association in October 2008, in the company of some fabulous collies.
