THE BEGINNING

In 1989 I had my first ever dog , my first ever love and therefore my first ever Flat Coated Retriever. " Raine" or kennel name TORWOOD BIZZIE BEE . She was a fantastic introduction to the breed . She was beautiful, stubborn willfull incredibly intelligent and lots of fun . She taught me a lot about the breed and I will never have another like her !!

From her all present day RAINESGIFTS descend .

Her first litter was sired by RIVERSLIGHT JUBA in 1992 and this gave me KENTEE INNES " TORI" a consistent winner at Championship and open shows .Highlight was her BEST IN SHOW WIN at NEFRA 1996 )

When mated to RIVERSFLIGHT NEATH OF BEANIT she produced WHEELERS BLACK RAIN now in Norway with Thor Jakobsen Hempth's Kennel.

Also the mother of my own girls SH CH HERE COMES THE RAIN and RAINY DAY AND SUNDAYS whom I still compete with, alongside their offspring.
