Seymour lives in Derbyshire, UK. He was bred by Hayley Tomlinson and is owned by Hayley and Laura Keight. We had admired photos of Seymour and in October 2009 we went to meet him in person. We were not disappointed - he was just as nice (actually even nicer) than in his photos. He has a lovely gentle temperament and is used for picking up on shoots. We also got to meet his dam and several of his offspring, whom we also admired. Seymour recently won his first CC (challenge certificate) and has won six Reserve CCs.

Here is a recent write up on Seymour when he won his class at the Flat Coated Retriever Club of Scotland show in April 2009

"Tomlinson & Keights Rainesgift Seymour. I appreciated this opportunity to judge this handsome fellow, most elegant of Flat coats. His proud stance almost over emphasizing his reach of neck - pure breed type with classic head and softest expression revealing his gentle nature . His construction from a good forechest down to the best feet in the breed today is admirable . He is well exercised and is now moving more purposefully with more finish in coat should receive the recognition he deserves". - Judge Judy Showell
