CACT for Ms. Christensen with Neat

Friday at 09:42: At open class field trial, Ms. Trine Christensen and her DKBRCH Ravensbank Neat (Neat), became 2nd winner with CK and CACT. Only two dogs completed the trial, and since the winner was already Field Trial Champion, the CACT was passed on to Ms. Christensen. This rule only applies to dogs that have delivered champion quality and received their CK for that.

With this result, Ms. Christensen has qualified for the Danish Championship which is about to be held at the turn of the month november/december at Glorup Estate.

Very warm congratulations to Ms. Christensen with yet another brilliant result.

Lovely Kassoq in the wilderness

10-09-2018: It is always great to hear news from our puppies when they have left us for new homes. Little Ravensbank Frisky (Kassoq) from Bibi's last litter has been on a bit of a journey. He lives in Nuuk, Greenland, and frequently sails with his owners, Runa and Svend into the Nuuk Fjord where they are building a cabin. We had this little video of the little buggar, where he plays with a piece of hare skin in the stunning surroundings. Thanks for the positive greetings from Greenland.

The shooting season has started

10-09-2018: Saturday was our first picking up day at Erholm Castle, and we were there in a strong Ravensbank lineup. Mr. Rene Kristensen was there with both Ravensbank Jock (Jock) and Ravensbank Conor (Conor). Mr. Niclas Helskov joined us with Ravensbank Ice (Maggie). We missed Ms. Anne Iversen with Ravensbank Donna (Bibs) who was in heat, but I brought both Ravensbank Bob (Bob), Ravensbank Biscuit (Bibi) and Ravensbank Holly (Holly) who was having her debut on warm game! Just like last year, we had Ms. Sanne Amnitzbøll to complete the team with lovely Team Timberline Indian Summer (Howdy).

The first shoot simply was two duck drives but it was great to get started and I was excited to test Holly as a part of my team. It went really well. My mates covered the busiest parts of the shoot, and I found a place where Holly could copy the calmness of my other dogs, and having marked a duck falling in the heavy cover just 30 meters away, I had a perfect chance to see her work and deliver the bird to hand without any drama what soever.

It was a super start for us all. Lovely weather, great nature, fine shooting and demanding retrieves which the dogs dealt with. What an outlook for the coming season.

10-09-2018: Saturday, Mr. Jacob Hemmingsen was having a debut with Ravensbank Skye (Lucca) in intermediate class at official cold game test. The judge's comments (shown on the picture in Danish) was pretty overwhelming and the first prize was beyond discussion. Very warm congratulations to Mr. Hemmingsen with this excellent result.
