Raider is the litter brother to our Minnie. As a small pup, he was known as "Red Dog", as that was the colour of the wool collar he wore. Choosing him was not easy, as he was one of two particularly nice males in a litter of four dogs and three bitches. However, something about him stood out, and I was attracted by his calm demeanour. Although every bit as friendly and outgoing as the rest of the litter, he was obviously a thinker, and would spend time watching the other puppies and passing humans with a look of real intelligence. Even now, he likes to sit outside in the garden and watch the birds and planes fly overhead. Raider's hipscore is 10 (4:6). He was eye tested - Clear in January 2011. He was kidney tested - Normal in October 2008. He was Optigen prcd-PRA tested - Normal/Clear November 2008. He is 53cm tall.  Raider's pedigree

In the house, his favourite place is on his Mum's lap, like a big cat! He likes watching TV, and is always engrossed during nature programmes. Since Ekko has matured a bit, Raider has decided that he is not so bad after all. The two are pretty inseparable, and spend most of their time playing together. Raider is not the sort of dog that would tolerate rough treatment or shouting. He is quite dignified. He does his best to please, and is sensitive to my mood changes. He is his Mummy's boy. At shows, he has a "hitlist" of favourite people who feed him treats - he likes them even better if they have bitches!

Raider has done very well so far in the ring, winning his Junior Warrant by the age of thirteen months, despite his habit of acting the goat in the ring on occasions! In 2005, he gained his crown and in 2006, he attained his ShCM. He has so far won eight CCs, five with BOB and ten Reserve CCs. The icing on the cake was his place in the Hound Group at Three Counties. We were also absolutely thrilled when Raider won BIS at the NEAS Championship Show from the Veteran Class in October 2009. We feel that he is very close to the Standard, and most judges seem to agree with us! Raider sired his first litter in July 2004. The mother was our Spooky. We were very pleased with the quality of this litter. His daughter, Conrick Bereth, had her own first litter in May 2008 and offpsring from this litter have been winning well at Championship shows. Puppies sired by Raider were born at Barbelka Kennels on Christmas Day 2008, his second litter. A third litter was born on the 9th March 2009 at Grasilva Kennels. This litter contained his first Champion, Ch Grasilva Gwendoline Mary.Two little girls were born on the 17th November 2009 at Torfi Kennels, his fourth litter. Some puppies from these litters were shown, making Raider the runner up top sire for 2009 (NECGB Annual Points Trophy). Raider sired his fifth litter in May 2010. I co-own a bitch from this litter with my parents. Her name is Barbelka Platyna at Kinderhorn. Another litter mate gave us his second Champion offspring, Australian Ch Barbelka Promien Halgrove. |
