Our Foundations

In 1971 we bought our foundation bitches, one from Margaret Osborne, Sheil, and one from Peggy House, Ravensbeck. 

Ravensbeck Spring Fashion was a daughter of Ch. Jefsfire Freelancer out of Ravensbeck Fairy Ring, litter sister of Riverhill Ring Money, who was the dam of Champion Riverhill Ringmaster.  Her first litter was to her cousin Ch. Riverhill Ringmaster and the result was three tri colour puppies.  Black Satin  became the first "Blenmerrow" brood bitch.   She was best tri colour at the ESSC Ch show in 1975
