I have been involved in dogs for many years, registering my affix in 1976. I first saw a the PWD, Cartmel The Fisherman at a show in the 1987 and was fascinated. At the time, there were less than a dozen of the breed in Britain. In July 1989, Pat Jones (Cartmel) allowed me to have Cartmel Sea-Breeze, a 10 month old female.

From Kiri's only litter, I have built up a strong kennel of PWD of excellent type and temperament.

Dogs I am particularly proud of include-

From Kiri's only litter (to Cartmel the Fisherman) Ir. Ch. RYSALKA MERRY MINSTREL (Pluto) , Ir. Ch. R. MOON MASQUERADE AT BENNTARSNA (Meg) and R. MIDNIGHT MINUET (Morticia)

Pluto - The first British bred and campaigned Champion. To date, he is still the only British bred and campaigned Champion.
Meg (Owner Florence Fahey & Joe Shire) - The first Irish Champion
Morticia - A multiple Best of Sex Winner

All Rysalka PWD descend from Meg and Morticia

Morticia's son RYSALKA PIRATA (Sebastian) and Meg's daughter Ir, Int & Port Ch. R. MOON MYSTIC AT BENTARSNA (Reece).

At Crufts 2000, Seb was Best Dog and Reece was Best Bitch and BOB under judge Pat Jones
At the World Show 2001 in Oporto, Seb and Reece exceeded all our dreams, with Seb winning the RCAC and Reece winning the CAC and CACIB to become the first (and to date only) British bred Portuguese Champion.
Reece is owned by Florence Fahey and Joe Shire (Bentarsna - Ireland)

My two imports Sw Ch. AGUATELIN DUQUE OF RYSALKA JWW01 (Kalle) and BENTARSNA AGNES BROWN AT RYSALKA (Elkie).

Kalle has been a good winner, and is the first (and to date) only import owner-handled to a title.

Elkie is a daughter of Reece, not shown during 2005, she was RBPIS at a Championship show.

 

From Kalle's first litter (to R. Moon Mystery) RYSALKA MOON DIVA (Betsy) and R. MOON DISCO (Disco)

Betsy is a BOB multiple BOS winner during 2005
Disco is the amazing 'Dancing Dog' - The first PWD to be trained to Heelwork to Music in Britain, she is already a winner of HWTM and Obedience Competitions. Rarely shown, she is also a Crufts Class winner.
Owned and trained by Richard Curtis (who wanted something different !!)

 

From my 2002 Christmas litter - RYSALKA ANCHORS AWAY (Bryn) and R. ANGEL EYES (Ruby)

Both lightly shown, Bryn has won a CACIB and Ruby is unbeaten in classes during 2005.

Ruby is owned by Trish Gilpin (Glenwhin)

 

 

From my 2004 litter - RYSALKA ZEPHYR (Basil), R. ZARZUELA (Minnie) and R. ZEUS (Manuel)

Basil has joined Mona Svard (Aplicado) in Sweden. He has had a fantastic puppy career, winning many top awards.

Minnie is owned by Nikki Bradley (Barquero). She is top female puppy 2005.

 

Never forgetting the most important role any PWD can have - a superb family companion

I now share my life with Ray Mainland and his Dragonbank Bouvier des Flandres.
