Champion Rossgay Roddie J W (1987-2001)
Roddie was our first beagle and has had a great influence on our lives, teaching me to handle in the show ring and giving me an insight into correct conformation, movement & construction right from the start.
Roddie won 5 Challenge Certificates and 4 Reserves. Amongst his greatest achievements was winning The CC and Best in Show at the Beagle Club in 1992 and later the same year he became the first beagle to win the Viscount Chelmsford Memorial Stakes Competition for Champion Dogs at the Hound Show.

Ryder was highly successful in the show ring, often handle by Julie he was awarded 4 Reserve Challenge Certificates, Best in Show at the Beagle Association Open show 1995, Best in Show Scottish Beagle Club open show 1990 and several best in shows at general open shows including Wigan & District Canine Society which led to my invitation to join their committee.
Zoe was our first bitch she was sired by Ch Rossgay Rambler a Roddie son, and showed all Roddie's traits and characteristics. Zoe gained her Stud Book Number in 1999 and won several Best of Breed at Open shows including Best Puppy in Breed at The Hound Show Open Show 1997.
Zoe became our foundation bitch having produced Roddwood Willow by Ch Storm Away of Dialynne.
Willow started her show career by qualifying for Crufts in her very first puppy class at a Championship Show, Hound Show 29 July 2001, and gained second place in the Junior Bitch class at Crufts 2002. Willow produced her first litter (May 2004) sired by Rossgay Rigsby JW. Willow has not been shown for quite a few years but as she likes sausages so much we have started to show her again in the veteran classes. First time out at Four Counties Beagle Club Champ. show 2010 she won her class. Although lightly show during the year she has been consistently placed.
