Our Retired Family Members

Here at Karavel, we are proud of ALL our dogs, especially our "oldsters" that have contributed so much to our breeding program. This page is dedicated to those special retirees!


CH Karavel A League Of Her Own TT
"Ruthie" is OFA Good.


Ruthie finished her Championship with 3 majors, with Diane Keedy piloting the way. Her movement and style made it almost too easy! (I did say 'almost')! Ruthie's mom, CH Karavel Exotica ("Iman"), is the finest moving Collie that I have ever had the pleasure to watch! And fortunately for us, Iman has graced her daughter with that structure.

Ruthie and Iman are now enjoying their retirement keeping the squirrels in check on our 6 acres . It remains a thrill to have them here and watch them do their thing!


Int CH Karavel Sudden Appeal
"Indy" is OFA Excellent.


Indy belongs to our youngest granddaughter, Kira, and her family. On occasion, they allow us to 'borrow' her for a show or two, and then she has to return to do her most important job -- loving and protecting as only a true Collie can!


CH Karavel Afterhours Ambiance



H.R.H. Lady was just that ... ROYALTY! She was the queen and she knew it! Bred by Carole Stanley, Afterhours, and Darcy Brown, Happy Hour, Di came to live with us as a young puppy. She flew to her Championship handled by our friend and exquisite handler, Diane Keedy. Our Lady Di's fabulous face was only matched by her soundness and balance as she moved around the ring. Lady Di was the loved companion of Sue Ellen Rosensteel and "Dharma"(Karavel Irish Classic). Thank you Sue Ellen!


Karavel The Honeymooner
"Ralph" is OFA Good, normal-eyed and a probable non-carrier for CEA!


Although Ralph is no longer at stud, he maintains his position as Guardian of our home!!
