ABOUT THE DOG

Reva is one of the very best bred working retrievers in Australia. Red, is her father, and the mother is an American imported dog RTCh Watermarks N Farmers Little Darlin, brought into the country by Mr G Tawton. Reva is genetically clear and has a exceptional hip score of 1/1 elbows 0/0. A super intelligent animal who is a very fast learner and a pleasure to train.

Reva is a super happy dog not only in her training but with her human family. She adores your company, loves being out and about no matter where she goes. Loves dog training videos on the TV!


Reva's debut was in the last trial of 2018, two days after her first birthday! I felt confident in her ability to compete in both Novice and Restricted. Reva stepped up she was superb and had a great start. She went on to win both levels with great scores. Novice was a field of 32 dogs scoring 173 out a possible 180, only dropping 7 points.  Restricted was a field of 14 dogs and she scored 160.5 out of 180 both competitions were outstanding I could not have been more pleased for such a young dog to do so well.


Reva had a great year, quickly bowling over her Restricted title with three wins from five start's. We consolidated our training and started to prepare for All Age and made her debut in May. Reva did not disappoint 5 trials later she won her first All Age in Victoria from a field of 23 dogs. Having moved interstate to Queensland in 2020, we entered our first trial of the year. Reva got off to a great start on the first run and held her own for the next two runs.

We both made mistakes, but enough to secure a win in a very seasoned field of much older dogs. In just nine trials Reva qualified for the title of Retriever Champion at the ripe young age of just 27 months.

2022 State Championships, she was fully fit and marking very well. Just over four years old and like most dogs her age, had missed two seasons of competition due to Covid, this didn't stop her putting in an exceptional performance in the Queensland State Championships, she was not only crowned the winner, she also received a Diploma of Merit (DM) for consistent performance throughout the competition. A few weeks later in NSW where she placed second in the lead up State Championship to the National.

2023, Reva qualified for the title of 'Grand Retriever Champion' by gaining sufficient wins over the season. In addition to this she picked up another Certificate of Merit, for outstanding Gun dog work. During the Championship season she competed in five championships, finished four placed in four and was runner up in the Australian National. Reva is following in her very successful Father's footsteps (Red Dog) in Retrieving trialling. We made the decision to continue running her through the season then have her spayed. I know it was the right decision.  Reva had very unorthodox living arrangements for the last ten months due to my wife and I relocating interstate and building a new home. She has done exceptionally well to place second in the National and overall finished third in the country.
