and it doesn't stop there! many more top producing and winning dogs and bitches come from this incredible family of dogs.
My foundation bitch (Ch Sunspan Southern Style
ECM)
was a Crusader daughter, and her mother was a Newsflash daughter. I was also fortunate enough to be able to use her half-brother,
Sunspan Command Performance, ![]()
who was out of Ranzfel Lines ( Ch. Ranzfel Highlight, a Newsflash son was his granddad)
CH Daisymead Dynasty, a Crusader son, is present behind Soho Denim and Diamonds.
It gets even better. While I continued to linebreed back to the Gunpowder/Ranzfel/Crusader lines, I also outcrossed to BISS CH Soho Line Drive.This brought in linebreeding directly back to Glengladdon Lucky Star.
The latest breedings to Fireplug are much "tighter" than they appear to the casual eye. Soho and Gunpowder are behind both kennels ( Encore and Fireplug) not only that, the type seems compatible. in 1987, the first Encore/Fireplug breedings produced the gorgeous orange roan Ch Encore's Am I Blue WD.His sister, at the Fireplug, produced Ch Fireplug Cordeniou WDX( Bud Light) who was featured in a story in Dog Fancy!And her son, Chase ( Ch Wilspring Pheasants Forever WDX JH ) is the father of our Nick.He won the field dog class at the 2001 Nationals also.
We used another Crusader grandson, Ch Sugarcreek Taylor Lakota, to produce our CH Encore's Ghostdancer WD and Fireplug Wicked Lager SH JH WDX WD who is now working on Master Hunter, and whose children are piling up the hunting titles as well.
Franklin, our latest outcross (group winning CH Graemar Only Time Will Tell) claims Crusader in his pedigree, too!
Truly, great sires are more than promotion, heavy showing schedules, or politics. They are boys with something special to pass on to their babies.
