Back in the early days I developed a decided preference for
the Banchory and Macdega lines. In my search for a breeding
female coming down off these lines I was directed to Liz Daoust
of Weeacre Kennel who had bred a female to Ch Macdega Mastery.
Phone calls were made and as a result a little orange sable
female that became known as Ch Weeacres
Sweet Charity came out west to start a breeding line. The
majority of the dogs in our kennel today trace back to that
individual. Liz shared other dogs from her kennel with us. Living
in the east she had access to Macdega and Cedarhope kennels
and did several integral breedings to their stud dogs, namely
Ch Macdega Glenhart Grand Prix ROM/ROMC and Ch Banchory Classic
Image ROM/ROMC. She was kind enough to share the results.
I
had become a great admirer of “Grand Prix” and the
beautiful bi blacks in his pedigree. Location and airline schedules
prevented me from breeding directly to “Grand Prix”
but when Liz bred her Am/BIS Can Ch Banchory Beau of Cedarhope daughter to him and kept 2
boys I knew I had my way through the back door.
Two
sable “Mikey” sons (one
out of Ch Weeacres Sweet Charity)
played a prominent role in my breeding program as did a bi black
son by “Farran” We were
privileged to lease Mikey at one point as well as Weeacres Devil
Made Me Do It by “Classic Image”. The Glenmorris
line is a product of these influences. |
