26th May 2002 -

Picture of painting by the Dutch artist Caren de Koning, showing Raven as a 4 month old puppy.  She's grown up since then !

Raven is Black & White and was bred by Shirley Bell of Canen Border Collies.

 
   

.

The day we first saw her was when she was 5 weeks old and we'd had a 400 mile (about 640 Km) round trip just to have a look at her! She was a cute little black & white bundle in a whole litter of Merles. I fell for her right away.... Tony took a little more convincing. So, at 7 weeks we went back to collect her. This time Tony could see what I had seen when Raven was 5 weeks old.

As all puppies grow they very often go through an 'ugly duckling' stage, and Raven is no different. It doesn't last long and Raven has grown into a beautiful young lady.

 
   
 
   

 
   

Raven is a sweet, affectionate person and very decisive. To be honest she was never cut out to be a 'pack dog' although she coped well with life in our home, we felt that we could do more for her. So after much soul searching - because we really didn't want to lose her - we made the decision that we would seek another home and life for her where she would feel less pressure and, through that new life, blossom into all the things she could be. It was not a easy decision to make and she did have a few offers, but one by one SHE turned them down.....That is until the day Rob came to visit. It was almost possible to see her heave a great sigh of relief.

The look on her face when she first saw Rob said 'at last, you're here!'.

 

 
   
Raven left for her new home and new life with Rob Challinor on Sunday 28th August 2005
