Some words about Rita´s parents, pedigree etc. Wrote Lena Hägglund,

Sire: SU(u)CH FINUCH Toffedreams Costa Nada "Dollar" x Dam: Camwood Hip
Hip Hurray "Ripa"
 
Ripa is that I was happy to purchase her, she was the only female in the
litter, so I was convinced that the breeders would have
kept her. Lucky enough I could have her. I had seen her mother from her
young days, followed her results, admired her photos and also judged her
in
Schweiz. I liked her pedigree a lot, with many well known flatcoats in
GB .Combined with C Try Again Sam representing GB, Danish and
continental
blood lines I was very interested to get at least one puppy from this
litter, and lucky enough I ended up with both a male and a female, both
able to be
used in my plans for the future.
Dollar is a lovely male, full of typical Toffedreams quality – well
constructed with lots of workability. In his pedigree you can find many
quality flatcoats
awarded in Field Trials and Show. These flatcoats have
thrown their quality on to their offspring.
Some words from Dollars breeder, Lena Sundquist, Toffedreams kennels.
In my opinion Dollar has a nice head (even if I personally would have
preferred it slightly longer). He has long, beautiful lines and is
throughout
a well built male with excellent length of neck, excellent
top line and angulations in front and at rear. Significant is his
powerful movements. Personally
I could prefer him slightly shorter in
loin.
He has a super temperament, always happy and kind to who ever it might
be. He easily spend his time together with all dogs not matter what sex
or age.
He totally adores puppies and kindly plays with puppies. He is a
devoted and active retriever, always accompanied during the autumn
shootings.
He is totally quiet and calm during the passive work.
Ripa is filled with workability, power and an energetic young female.
She is always happy to work no matter with what. For the moment she and
Erica
are doing some agility exercise, and she will hopefully be ready
for her first competition in this discipline during this year. Blood
tracking and field trial is
also on the programme for 2007.
In show Ripa did extremely well already as a junior (9-15 months)
resulting in several CK (är ju inte samma sak som res CC eller RCAC).
Ripa
gained her first CC and BOS in the age of 17 months. For the moment
we are waiting for some maturing and coat to grow out. In my opinion
she
is not yet mature enough to compete with the adult females in open
class. Awaiting this we will concentrate in the above mentioned
activities-
Ripa has a beautiful, well moulded head, lovely eyes, slightly big ears!
She has an excellent top line and powerful, well angulated hindquarters.
Excellent lay of shoulders, slightly upright upper arm. She is short
bodied with very good spring of ribs. Nice bones. Ripa has powerful
movements,
parallel movements in front and at rear. In a suitable tempo
she also covers a lot of ground. Ripa has an excellent coat quality and
also quantity is
excellent when being in coat.
Regarding Ripa’s workability she is easily conducted/handled and with
will to please. She is does excellent marking, excellent, powerful
swimmer,
really enjoying to retrieve from water. She has not yet so much
routine in the free search, but working in very good speed, very good
stamina
even when it gets difficult and hard. I am convinced that her
free search will get better with more routine. She actively uses her
nose and mainly locates
game and dummies very fast.
Ripa has many quality flatcoats in her pedigree, both continental and
British dogs. Her pedigree contains as well INT, GB and Swiss Champions,
lines that brings a lot of new flatcoats to Scandinavia.
The pedigree of the puppies to be contains many good old flatcoat lines,
from both fathers and mothers side.
We are really looking forward to this combination where we expect black
and liver puppies.
