My involvement with dogs started in 1977 with my first dog being a Labrador, followed by Golden Retrievers. I had Goldens for more than 15 years and enjoyed many fine wins in the Show and Obedience rings. My dogs have always been a huge part of my life and as you can see have shared in everything.

I purchased my first Cocker in 1998 her name was "Annie". I have never looked back as this merry little dog has surely endeared me to this breed. She is the mother of both "Riley" - AUST CH Braycharm Soul Revival and "Polly" - AUST CH Braycharm China Blue.

She was closely followed by a light blue bitch called Matilda. Both bitches I titled with ease.

Then came the Grand gentleman himself "Solomon" - Grand Champion Cinetta The Wise Guy or better know to my kids as Wiggle Bum! Solomon and I shared some great wins and he was always in the placing at major shows. He was a Runner Up Best In Show Winner, Multi Class in Group and In Show winner at All Breeds and Specialty shows alike. He had some great wins under Local, Interstate and International Judges including Breed Specialist. I lost this special man on the 10th April, 2010, his ever wagging tail and beautiful nature are missed by all who knew him.

I was then given the opportunity by John Edwards (Marsden) to own a beautifully bred bitch "Bonnie" - Carlsvale Colombine. Whilst she never made it to the show ring Bonnie has left her mark on the breed in other ways. She is the very proud mum of "Bridget" - AUST CH Braycharm Inspiration and "Finn" - BIS AUST CH Braycharm Tme Keeper. On a very sad note I lost this beautiful girl on the 1st January 2006, she will always live on in our hearts and in her beautiful kids and grandkids. She would have to have been the most loyal dog I have ever owned and this is a trait that she has passed on. We love you Bona Dog!

I am very grateful to all the people who have helped me along the way and to all the many friends I have made in and out of the breed.

So this was my start in the world of dogs and more importantly my Journey with my beautiful Cockers Spaniels.

And as they say "The Rest Is History"
