Gordan and Bennett of the Wildweir kennels established their lines from crossing 3 major lines, Clu-Mor, Soham, and Harringay, which were based on CH. Ted. Their first top winner was in 1950 with their British import CH. Little Sir Model. I love their CH. Wildweir Pomp N'Circumstance - "Pompey," top sire of 95 champions. He is also noted to have had the most influence on our breed in the US. Try to beat that one. He was so cute and small. Does any body remember how small he weighed? Most of our American champions go directly back to the Wildweir lines. So when you got that expert advice, at the time - did you know who they were and how important they were? And see - you still remember that advice today - where to pet a yorkie - excellent advice. I beleive they were from Illinois. In all the Wildweir kennels have bred or owned 169 champions. Wow! You were very lucky to have met them.
I have met some very nice people along the way at shows and through our breed and have made some good friends.
