The First Family
BUCKHURST THERESA ( 1970-1981) WITH HER GRANDCHILDREN
THERESA WAS BRED TO CH CAIO OF EAGLESCRAG ( THIS A CANDID TAKEN RINGSIDE LKA 1972) - ROSEMARY FOLLETT WITH ROSSUT DOMENICK OF EDERYN IS JUST ABOUT VISIBLE. I WANTED CAIO'S LENGTH OF LEG, BONE AND MUSCLE IN IN REAR, ALL OF WHICH HE HAD PROVED HE COULD PRODUCE AS A SIRE.
CH MOCHRAS BANRION ( CH CAIO OF EAGLESCRAG EX BUCKHURST THERESA) 18 MTHS
Ch Banrion in full maturity outside the boarding kennels at Hulme
CH BANRION AS A VETERAN WITH HER DAUGHTER
CH OUTHWAITE HAMISH WITH HELEN BAIRD - SIRE OF GAELTARA
Ch Hamish pictured above as a puppy - he did have the most stunning head and an exceptional temperament to go with it.
MOCHRAS GAELTARA ( Ch Hamish ex Ch Banrion). She's out of coat in this picture, had her sire's substance and bone plus the movement of both parents. Hamish was rather upright in upperarm and this came through.
CH WITCHESBROOM WIZARD - WHAT YOU CANT SEE IS HOW HE MOVED, AMAZING REACH AND LENGTH OF STRIDE WITH GREAT POWER. I USED HIM AT STUD AS HE WAS SIRING QUALITY PUPPIES WITH GOOD FRONTS AND LEG LENGTH. AS HOPED, THE GOOD HEADS FROM GAELTARA'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY CAME THROUGH AS WIZARD WAS RATHER SOMBRE AND LACKING FURNISHINGS. THE DOG ALSO HAD BLACK PIGMENTATION ( INCLUDING INSIDE THE MOUTH) AND A WIDE UNDERJAW AT A TIME WHEN NARROW JAWS WERE BECOMING COMMON.

GAELTARA'S SON SW CH MOCHRAS VALENTINIAN WAS BRED TO INT & NORD CH WESTMOUNT DIXIE D'OR ( PICTURED WINNING ONE OF HER VETERAN CLASSES IN SWEDEN). AT THE AGE OF EIGHT SHE WON THE HOUND OF THE YEAR ANNUAL COMPETITION FOR VETERANS, WHICH I THINK IS STILL UNIQUE FOR A WOLFHOUND.
INT CH DIXIE D'OR'S SON WESTMOUNT XILE OF MOCHRAS ON HIS FIRST DAY OUT AFTER 6 MTHS QUARANTINE - 9 MTHS OLD AND WITH NO COAT TO SPEAK OF. HE GREW A VERY THICK COAT LATER.
XILE 2 YRS 
"Kobben" produced a number of good offspring,and champions in Ireland, Sweden, Finland and Canada. His son ex Clonara Alia ( Favonius) is behind Ch Ceffni Maggi Ann, two times IWC BIS winner. Flaxen Favilla went to Sweden, where she became the dam of Int Ch Westmount Glinda Belle and grannie of Ch Greystone Clint. My own Fey Feralia was the dam of Mochras Juxtalia, who produced two int chs and a CC winner for Juxtalia ( Ann Sillito's affix).
We have to continue to remember the PRA connection as Xile was a carrier of this inherited blindness. Now see the PRA pedigrees and the PRA carriers information on the tab to the left. Its getting further behind on the pedigrees but until a test to identify carriers is found the only safe way to reduce the risk of these carriers is to breed safely - this shows you how.
