Ch. Ballyphelan Bran Beag (Strider)
Ch. Ir.Ch. Bokra George Caredig x Ch. Ballyphelan Tiger Lily Bred by Pam & John Sumner Tiger Lily is by my Ainsea Rifleman x Ballyphelan Celtic Charm, Rifleman was a son of Ch. Ainsea Dusty Rose. He was a super mover, he had superb hindquarters and even though his front was not as perfect he could move with reach and drive showing long ground covering easy action, although he never did get a CC, he had 10 RCC's , one at the Breed Club Championship Show and a Best in Show as a Club Open show from 120 dogs entered, always 1st or 2nd in his class. Rifleman was well liked by many of our respected breeders. Ballyphelan Celtic Charm (2CC's) a lovely bitch and although not made up, was a lovely example of the breed, good movement, a super partner for Rifleman, very well matched. she was put to Rifleman the litter produced included two super youngster, Ch. B. Tarlach Dubh and Ch. B. Tiger Lily, both became Champions and twice did the double at Championship Shows. Tiger Lily was a particularly good example of the breed As good a reason as any for wanting a puppy from this litter Strider's movement is as perfect as one could ask for in a Wolfhound, purposeful long easy and effortless, ground covering strides showing reach and wonderful rear drive, which would keep him going on a long days hunting, and he can still show it at 8½ years. He is now a happy retired pet at home and thoroughly enjoying it with his best friend Harmony, sadly we lost Dusty Sim suddenly last year, at 7 Years of age. Strider has a total
of 37 CC's together with 28 RCC's |

Ch. Santir General from Ainsea Died in his 10th year
Bred by John and the late Eileen Bosanquet, out of a bitch bred by me, Ainsea Exquisite Angel and by Solstrand Brigadier at Ainsea. (Brigadier was bred by Dagmar Kenis-Pordham and was by my Ainsea Fusilier a son of the famous Ch. Solstrand Kaspar) 7CC's and RCC's |

Ainsea Fascination (Breige) 2 CC's RCC's Died in her 10th year Breige was sold as a puppy to a lovely family but unfortunately they had to part with her when she was almost 2 years as their circumstances changed, so of course I had her back, she had grown into a lovely bitch and although had quite a short show career and very lightly shown as she had to share the show scene with her mates she managed to gain 2 CC's and RCC's she also produced Harmony and Lord Hesketh, Harmony became a Ch, but Lord Hesketh who is a good looking wolfhound, very strong, he did not enjoy showing particularly, so when Strider became a Ch., we decided to leave him at home, as although Hesketh was almost unbeaten at that point, we didn't think he would ever beat Strider, he and Harmony are still with us and happy. |

Ainsea Harvest Moon (Amy) Died at only 6 years, kindly by the Vet, following a severe Kidney infection leading to irreparable failure 2 RCC's Mated to Hibeck Hardy this litter produced Ch. Dusty Sim and NZ Ch Ainsea Guardsman. Amy was a lovely girl again with super easy movement she was not shown heavily but when out usually gained a 1st or 2nd place, we decided to stop showing her because we had a problem stopping her stripped the hair off her extremely long tail, although it was never sore or damaged keeping it covered was the only way it stopped her, but it was always a worry just in case she should chew and swallow the covering, in the end it was easier to leave her at home in peace, sadly we lost Amy 12 weeks after whelping her litter, she had kidney failure. We are forever grateful that having the litter was not a waste of her life, as she produced Dusty Sim which was some comfort. Amy was such a strong powerful lady and we are proud to have bred her. |

Died in her 10th year
Rosie was our 1st Champion and very fondly remembered a daughter of the famous Ch. Solstrand Kaspar, her type still is still coming through in my bitch lines and recognised by people who knew her. She attended the Club Open Show aged 9 years 3 months, simply to have her heart tested by Dr. Serena Brownlie, her test did not show any problems, so because we were there, we entered her in Veteran Bitch, she surprised us all by being awarded Reserve Best In Show, such an honour at that age. 4CC's RCC's |
