We have great breeders in the UK, I was very lucky to speak to Mrs Crowther "Candytops" only yesterday, another super UK breeder and she won Best of Breed Crufts 2009. I have lots of info, UK Clubs annuals etc. PM me if you want further info, I would love to give anyone interested any info I have and I have lots, Annie Swann, Ethel Munday etc and some very old history books on the breed.  |
I had a UK friend who knew Lily Lees..she introduced her to Ethel Munday and her daughter...then she met Oz..he came to Lily's home to sell my friend a puppy which she brought back to the US with her...
Shirley said they were the most helpful people...I found UK breeders tended to admire the DOG more then the breeder..showing is the sport that is it suppose to be...but things do change and get jaded everwhere I am sure...LOL
