Raya was my first Labrador and was born on 30th April 1973. She was bred by Charlotte Lindell and was sired by Int Ch Powhatan Sentry out of Roydwood Right In Line, so that was a very nice pedigree with some top class British Labradors close up in the pedigree. Right In Line, 'Lina', lived with me the last year of her 13 year old life.

Raya and I did everything together, she was a wonderful Labrador and my best friend.

We went to our first show, Michael Boothroyd was judging,who placed Raya 2nd in a big puppy class. Following year she again gained  2x2nd placings, one under Margareth Clayton (Ardmargha) and another under Margot Woolley (Follytower). She also got CC quality awards under judges such as Jessie Taylor (Whatstandwell) and Miriam Kinsella (Brentchase), got a blood tracking award and also did well in obedience. On top of all this she was the dam of some succesful sons and had a very good record for hips.
