About Roszarke

                   Roszarke is the registered Kennel Club Affix held by Steve and Maureen Collier

We have been interested in Gundogs since getting married,

 and spent a number of years going to shows with our relatives Syd

 and Joan Collier of "Fourfields" English Pointers before we purchased our first

English Setter in 1978.

                  Since then we have owned or bred 6 English Show Champions, 5 dual CC winners,

 3 single CC  winners and numerous Reserve CC winners.

We have bred and own the current Top Stud Dog in the breed

 (also Pedigree Chum Top English Setter Stud Dog in 2001and 2002).

We are currently showing a young dog that holds the record for the youngest

 dog in the breed to gain a RCC.

Over the years we have also been very active in the organisation and administration

side of Dog Shows. We are both long serving committee members of the

Northern English Setter Society, including Steve having been Secretary of the society

for some 10 years, only standing down in 2001. We are also Secretary and Chairman of

a local general canine society. We are both involved with training aspiring judges in

English Setters as part of the Joint English Setter Education Scheme, and Steve is the

 current Secretary of the Joint English Setter Judges Committee.
