Vogue is our first “joint” golden owned together as a partnership. Her mother is litter sister to our SH CH Ramchaine Essential JW.

Born on 20/08/2008 very shortly after we decided that we wanted to be with each other, combine our dogs & somehow our lives, even though we were living in separate countries. She left her breeders Sue and Peter Francis at 8weeks to come and live with the Ramchaines in England:- who was to have known she was to become such a star!

Vogue has had the most amazing Puppy/Junior career in the show ring and far exceeded our expectations for her. She is a true showgirl, with a super showy disposition, loving every minute of the limelight & applause. She gets an adrenaline buzz from the moment she enters the showground, so can always be seen to be enjoying herself to the full & edging to be noticed!

By 18 months of age, Vogue has a multitude of fabulous results to credit her name; ~ 3 x CACs in Holland ~ 3 x CACs in Germany ~ 6 x Best Puppy in Breed &
4 x Best Bitch. She also has achieved 7 x official junior titles in 4 x different countries and can now proudly carry the following abbreviations after her name :
