The Ravensett kennel was founded in the late 1970’s initially with a small successful kennel of Irish setters. However, it wasn’t long before English Setters joined the show team and the kennel went from strength to strength.
The foundation for the English Setters came from the top winning Upperwood kennel and this has proved to be an excellent base for the continued success of the Ravensett Affix.
To date the kennel has produced 7 homebred Show Champions as well as many more top winning stock with CCs and Reserve CCs to their credit.
This page is dedicated to Upperwood Lavender Blue at Ravensett (1989 to 2003), seen above at the age of 13.
'Dilly' had a long and happy life with us and we are indebted to her as she was the foundation of all our current show stock. She was top brood bitch in 1997 (James Wellbeloved/Our Dogs) and shown on this page are two of her winning progeny sired by Kenandra King of Romance, Sh Ch Ravensett Romance, 'Romance' and Sh Ch Ravensett Regalia, 'Susie'. She had a beautiful nature, which she has certainly passed on down the line. She is still very sorely missed by all.
Sharon awards Challenge Certificates in both English and Irish Setters as well as judging all other Gundogs at Open Show level. She has also judged in Finland and Sweden
SAD NEWS
Its with great sadness that we have to announce that our beautiful Sh Ch Ravensett Regalia, pictured below,died in her sleep earlier this year at the grand old age of 14+ years. She was top ES Puppy in 1993 and won countless Championship Show Firsts in her very successful show career. Her photo is below, taken on the day she became a Sh Ch. She finished with 5CCs and 4RCCs and went on to have a lovely litter of pups that included Ravensett Astra and from which many of the current Ravensett's are descended. She lived in the house all of her life and was a great pet as well as a fantastic show dog. The settee will never be the same without her and she is already sorely missed
