Our Dogs
"Molly" Redborn Dynamic Raven
DKCH SECH CIB ATCH CZCH CIE TJO (DK) J ATWELSSG22, 24
Molly was born in February 2018 in Ringsted, Denmark, from a lovely pairing between Vicky (Redborn Ultimate By Request, DK) and Noice (Digby Tollers Daytona, SE). She was one of eight puppies—three boys and five girls—and became our very first toller. She’s certainly not going to be our last!
Since joining our family, Molly has been actively trained in obedience, tracking, and hunting, with a strong focus on hunt tests and practical fieldwork. In June 2023, she earned her second 1st prize in tolling hunt tests in Hønning, Denmark, which qualified her for the Elite class. She debuted in Elite just a month later, and in October 2024, she received her first prize in Elite with a “Good” in Gotland, Sweden.
Molly has also made her mark in the show ring, participating in exhibitions across Scandinavia—including Denmark, Sweden, and Norway—and more recently in Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic, and the UK. One of her proudest moments was appearing at Crufts 2025. Today, she holds multiple champion titles, and we couldn’t be prouder of her accomplishments.
At home, Molly is very much the princess of the household. She’s full of energy, drive, and curiosity, always keeping a watchful eye on everything happening around us. She’s gentle and playful with children, and never misses an opportunity for a game of fetch.
As a hunting dog, Molly is focused, determined, and thrives on challenge—whether she’s training for hunt tests, working in the field, or tackling dummy exercises. She’s a joy to work with and a true ambassador for the breed.
"Mia"
November 2015 - August 2025
Mia was born in November 2015 in Oxfordshire, England, and was our very first dog—a beloved family companion who brought energy and devotion into our lives from the very beginning. While we don’t have detailed information about her pedigree, we know she was born on a farm to working dogs, and we believe she carried traits of the Nap-type border collie.
A border collie mix with unmistakable spirit, Mia quickly became the queen of our home. She was fiercely protective of her “flock,” always alert and watchful when new people or dogs came near. Her presence was grounding, and her loyalty unwavering.
From puppyhood, Mia was full of energy and drive. We explored various activities with her over the years, including nosework, obedience training, and a touch of hunt training for fun. But her favourite moments were the simple ones—long walks, games of fetch, and time spent with her family.
Mia was more than just a pet; she was a true companion, and her bond with us ran deep. We miss her every day, but take comfort in knowing she’s running free and pain-free, reunited with her dear Meg over the rainbow bridge.
