That sounds very logical to me Jim K was friendly with both Andrew Greene(ParkBreck) and Alan Gwinn(Winmillwood) He met them both the same year we were all over in the UK.
Andrew live about 20 miles from me due to health reasons he is no longer in dogs. Alan I'm sure that if he is still alive, lives in LLanddeilo Wales.

Very many dogs between them. The important thing about the dogs were how they accepted proper Spaniel training. Whether the training was English style or USA style the dogs excelled at either discipline.

Your dog is quite nicely bred. If you joIn up to 'MyKC' you can look into the lines a bit more. It tells you which dogs have their stud book numbers (so have got awards at field trials) and what litters they've produced, along with any health testing. It is quite addictive!
cheers,

Just looking at a spread sheet ive been sent with all the championship runners (springers from 1993 - Today with all their placings. The following dogs seem to be very consistent..

FTCH Rosebay Blossom
FTCH Rytex Roel
FTCH Maesyronen Marketrader
FTCH Craighaar Chrasima - Holly
FTCH Cortman Candy
FTCH Clarburgh Delight - Amy
FTCH Barnbrook Trident
FTCHAnnickview Anna - Breeze
FTCH Badger of the Valley
FTCH Anahoe Ernie

Ive never seen any of the above run, be interesting to hear if anyone ever did and their thoughts.

Very good thread.

You might, but it's not 100% complete. More of a community contribution database. The person that set it up is very into her breeding, health testing, etc.

I had to add my two to it myself.
