The ancestors page - hounds you may find interesting - I'll be changing this page occasionally as there are LOTs of ancestors !
behind redemption:
Calliagstown Lady - judged her as a youngster at whichever IWCI Speciality in Dublin it was, and she had hardly had a lead on her to that day so she was a wild child. This picture from my own collection is now popping up all over the place - she has become one of the notable brood bitches for Nutstown and is therefore behind scores of hounds world wide who are making an impact today.
Solstrand San Antonio of Edeyrn: deliberately a candid, as often we remember these great ones for what they look like on carefully posed photographs and not as they really could be! Andy was rather wide in front and yet had such a lot of great qualities - head, length of leg somewhere over 36" at shoulder, excellent coat and character too. He became such an influence as a sire, not least behind Solstrand Minute Man, Clonara Nizam, Ch Eaglescrag Justin and a plethora of brood bitches. I think he was still a junior in this picture and i have a feeling it was taken at around the time i was collecting his brother, who lived with me for a time.
I have this one named at last - Tirliffin Roxanne, as an example of the shorter legged yet beautifully curvy hounds of the time with more of an echo of the Marumac family lines.
this from Helen Baird's collection, outhwaite boroughbury brosna as a youngster. The litter he came from contained several key ancestors but brosna wasnt one of them! Like the rest of this litter he had a long and healthy life - all of this boroughbury B litter were reds or blacks, unusual at the time.
