* Was imported in 1988 , as a little puppy, from the Blazeaway  kennels in Australia.

* Had a fast and easy way to her Show Champion title.

* Produced a litter in 1991 sired by Robin, Uved´s Onion. From this litter three siblings made a success at Field Trials :
The dog Ringlets Rampant Storm was Best Dog At Trial in both the young dogs class  and the open class .
Being just 18 month he was the winner of the Field Trial ,  young dogs class,  at the Swedish Curly Show  ( his two sisters being placed 2nd and 3rd !).

The two bitches Russin, Ringlets Rattling Breeze and Rassel, Ringlets Raise The Wind you will here find at their own pages .

* In February 1993 , Rinnie was severely hurt in a car accident. Her left hip ball was broken at two places,  her pelvis was dislocated and her right foreleg was badly damaged.
The broken hip ball was removed by surgery , and now Rinnie had to start exercising, trying to get her muscels strong enough to ”replace” the missing hip ball……
No one believed that she would ever lead a normal life again, but Rinnie´s strong mind even helped her back to a life as a gun dog……3½ month after her surgery she entered the Field Trials´ winner´s- and open class at the Swedish Curly Show, and was placed 2nd!!!!!!

* During this autumn Rinnie won her second 1st price at open level, and was qualified for the winners (elite) class at All Retriever Breeds Field Trials.

* In the year after, 1994, she entered the winner´s class twice : and got two 2nd prices.

* In the same year, Rinnie was picked out as being Best Elite Dog in the District of Varmland in competition with retrievers of all other breeds. Later this summer Rinnie , being a member of the Varmland´s team, participated in The Swedish Team Championships for Retrievers .

* Rinnie was the winner of the highest class of the Field Trial at the Swedish Curly Show three times.

* Rinnie was the winner , again in competition with all other retriever breeds, of the Field Trial District Championships.


Here are photos from Rinnie´s 12th birthday :


* Rinnie was 14 years in July...and three weeks later she left this world together with her daughter Russin.

We are so greatful for all these years with Rinnie, and we miss her so very, very much...

She was, and is, my favourite girl.
