Ryka came to us in January 2007 from Jackie Perkins Gardenway Kennel in England. Her dam is Barleycape Golden Willow of Gardenway (Willow) and her sire is the beautiful and famous Australian import Sh Ch and Australian Ch Hungargunn Bear It'n Mind (Yogi) who has been winning consistently at shows since he arrived in England in July 2005. His most recent wins were to win the Gundog Group at Crufts, March 2009 and then won Best in Show at Crufts, March 2010.

Ryka began her show career at 6 months old and gained her championship at 10 1/2 months old. She is a lovely sweet dog with beautiful conformation and movement. She loves the show ring, the field and her obedience classes. She is showing great promise in the field and has earned Field Dog Junior title. We are now training to pursue a Field Dog title.
