The Rifflesea's were founded in 1943 with the purchase of a sable bitch puppy from Mrs George of the famous BEULAH Collies. She was called Beulah' Golden Fantasy and was to have a unique influence on the breed. Mamy well-known winners, including the Crufts dual Best of Breed winner, Ch Samhaven Toast trace directly back to her.

Our first Challenge Certificate was won in 1947 by a ten month old dog puppy who went on to become Ch Lad of Ladypark. This was the first of many CC's won by the legendary Ladypark kennel but their first Champion was Ch Rose of Ladypark who was a wedding present to myself and my first husband Dr Ken Collins who always handled the dogs in the ring. Rose and Lad produced three champions for us and had a major influence on the Collies of that era.

One of their daughters was mated to Lad's brother Ch Lochinvar of Ladypark and was sent out ot Brazil. She was called RIFFLESEA RHODA and from that one bitch all the world famous LAKEFIELD Collies are descended.On my remarriage in 1975 I continued my breeding programme and was joined some 15 years ago in partnership by Pam Cornish who always accompanies me to the shows and takes care of our Collie nursery.
