We have owned Flatcoated Retrievers since 1982 and bred our first litter in 1985. Our own dogs have successfully competed in obedience, agility and conformation disciplines. Our current breeding stock is based on our imports from kennel Black Brianta in the Czech Republic, with our current stud dogs being "Cappy" (NZ Ch Extraordinary Black Brianta) and our young dog "Legend" (Legendary Black Brianta). Cappy has gained several placings in agility and obedience from very few outings as our main focus is on breed showing where he has gained multiple class in group, best and reserve in group awards. Legend arrived in February 2023 at 10 months of age and promptly won Best on Parade from 50+ entries at Manawatu and then Puppy in Show at both Taranaki Gundog Club and Hawkes Bay Kennel Association champ shows. He has gained several group placings since including Junior of Group at the Prelude Show in Auckland. These young dogs excite us as they are just getting better and better. Our next litter is planned for the end of 2024 from which some puppies may be available. The sire will be Legend (imported from Czech Republic) and the dam will be Lennie (NZ Ch Alenka of Annaglyn). Enquiries welcome.
My first Flat Coat arrived in 1984 and although Tara was not a 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 show champions.
1998 Elly (Ch Kellick Carn Of Cailiche CCD) arrived and was my foundation bitch. Her first litter produced Jy (Ch Injitali In The Black CD).
In 2004 Elly's second litter saw the arrival of Baloo (Gr Ch Injitali Intrigue CCD RN).
Baloo's first litter produced Booker who is Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Injitali Sir Bouncealot. Extremely naughty and highly intelligent. Best dog ever when I need a cuddle.
2011 saw the arrival of Baloo's second litter and I kept two pups. Seeker is now Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Injitali Intriguing Secret. Tiger is Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Intriguing Tale.
2017 Seeker produced Lani (Ch Injitali Treasure Seeker). I call Lani "The Apprentice" as she delights in copying and watching Uncle Booker's clever and naughty antics.
3 Dual Grand Champions was not something I thought I would ever do when I first started with Flat Coats. So proud of them all.

We were joined by our first Flatcoat in 1988, since then we have never been without a Flatcoated Retriever. Originally from the UK, after 16 years in the South Island we now live in the Waikato. We registered our Trevalley Kennel name in 2004.
Our dogs are integral to our family life, they all live in our home, Flatcoats need to be a part of your life, they love company, they don't enjoy being kennelled or left alone for long periods. They are a very “helpful” breed.
We work and show our dogs, a true dual-purpose breed, our dogs are "fit for life, fit for purpose”. Claire is a conformation judge and is New Zealand’s only Flatcoated Retriever Specialist confirmation judge, she can also award challenges in Toys, Terriers, Gundogs. Hounds and Working. Amyas enjoys taking part in field trials and training the dogs, our grownup children both have a Flatcoat and share a passion for the breed.
Our dogs are from well-respected UK kennels, who produce beautiful, classical lines, we are very proud of the pedigrees behind our dogs and grateful to have some very knowledgeable mentors who have become very close friends.
We breed infrequently, only when we want a puppy ourselves. We put a great deal of time, thought and love into our litters.
Our dogs are proudly fed on Black Hawk and puppies come with a complimentary bag of food & puppy pack
Our dogs are Hip / Elbow / Eye and DNA tested.
Litter Due Jan 2024
I have owned Flat Coated Retrievers for 20 years and previously worked as a Veterinary Nurse. Our dogs compete acorss conformation, rally, obedience and more recently retrieving. They have passed hip, elbow and eye screening with results lower than breed average. They love to work and play and are wonderful companions for our children.
Bloom (Peppatreeohtheplacesyoullgo) received 3 passes to earn her Rally Novice title in 2024. She won bitch challenge and runner up best of breed at The Melbourne Royal 2024 as well as reserve bitch challenge as a puppy at the Flat Coated Retriever Club of Victoria Championship Show in 2022.
Next litter planned January 2025.
