I have loved Flat Coats since I got my first pet Flat Coat in 1987, since then I have had 2 more beautiful Flat Coats before I started seriously showing. Ch Sovanna Black Brooke, was my first Australian champion. Now I am showing Ch Skyehaven Fortune Shines (Zada) who recently joined the 500 Club (FCR Assn of Vic) for gaining 500 challenge points, at under 3 years of age. Zada is in partnership with Tina Corbell (Skyehaven Kennels). Zada in 2007, won BEST IN GROUP at an all breed Championship show, and has taken her points to over 700. Baily (Skyehaven Flying Drunk) at just 12 months old and competing against quality dogs including his sire: Ch Flatterhaft Steal Or Borrow (imp swd) is doing extemely well and is already over half way to his title. I also own in Partnership with Tina Corbell (Skyehven Kennels) Beauty Nights Diamond Dog (imp swd) Kei. Kei is very successful already winning a BABY PUPPY IN SHOW AND 4 BABY PUPPY IN GROUPS, just 3 weeks since leaving quaratine.

My first Flat Coat arrived in 1984 and although Tara was no show dog, she taught me how wonderful the temperament of this breed is.
1993 saw the arrival of Inji into my life and the introduction to the conformation and breeding world. Her first litter produced Tali, my first male. Inji and Tali (hence the kennel name) were a delight to live with and were my first two champions.

The Trevalley dogs live in the beautiful Moutere valley on the out skirts of Nelson. Our family run a small holding and canine hydrotherapy pool which our dogs love to use. We have shared our lives with Flatcoated Retrievers for 20 years and they are very important members of the family. From assisting us on the farm to curling up on the sofa with you at night they like to be a part of everything we do. We consider it very important that our dogs are dual purpose, able to compete both succesfully in the show ring and also out in the field. In 2007 Baron took BOB at the NZKC Nationals followed a few weeks later with a 5th in Novice water at the South island Field Trial Championships - his first time ever competing at FT Championship level. His nephew Bandit took out a fist full intermediate of groups, a reserve of group and an intermediate in show. Young Bliss will be hot on thier heels in 2008.
