Relatives
Here are some Pemberley relatives.
Darcy's Parents
"Archie" | "Ripley" |
UK Im. Am/Can Ch Soberhill Water Archer by Mishules OS is a lovely liver dog bred by Cheryl and Keith Smith of Soberhill Kennels in England.
Archie lives up in Canada with Co-owner Peter Archer of Winfarthing Kennels (Other Co-Owner is Shula Shipton of Mishules Kennels in England who owns Archie's Dad Geordi). Due to the accomplishements of his children, Archie has been awarded the title of Oustanding Sire (OS) . I thank God every day that those two conspired to bring Archie across the ocean so that those of us here in North America could enjoy what he had to offer. Without Archie, there would be no Darcy.
Am/Can Ch Capriole's Believe It or Not OD is a top winning black bitch both North and South of the border who is Co-owned by Peter Archer of Winfarthing Kennels in Canada, and by Ripley's breeder Kay Klein of Capriole Kennels in Ohio. She has won numerous group placements in Canada, as well as prestigious Best of Opposite awards at many Field Spaniel Supported Entries in the US.
On top of all that she's one heck of a mom, her first litter alone had a whopping 10 puppies, 4 of which are now finished Champions, and quite a few others who could have been show dogs but were sold as pets to wonderful homes. Not to mention that she has Agility, Therapy, and Hunting titles on some of those puppies. Due to all this, Ripley has been awarded the title of Oustanding Dam (OD).
Ember's Parents
"Henry" |
"Ella" |
Am MBIS/MBISS Ch Marshfield's Boys' Night Out CD RA HOF OSX lives with owner Arlene Cohen, and pal Ella of Argyle Kennels. It could take several pages to write all the acomplishments this dog has achieved.
Henry has won the Field Spaniel National Speciality 6 times, has 11 All breed Best In Shows, was in the AKC All Breed Sporting Top 2o, won a GROUP 2 at Westminster Kennel Club, won his last Group 1 (and his last Speciality win) at 10 years of age and is an Outstanding Sire Excellent (OSX). All these accomplishments mixed with his perfromance titles, and the accomplishments of his children have put Henery in the Field Spaniel Society of America Hall of Fame (HOF).
These are but a sample of the things Henry has done, but most importantly, he is a really, really sweet dog.
Swedish Import Winterbourne Lavender Dream lives with Henry, and her co-owner Arlene Cohen, other Co-owner is Lorette Gayle Pierce, both of Argyle Kennels. Ella is a stunning girl, with a stunning head piece. She is sweet, very outgoing (something she passed on to her daughter Ember), and from the moment I met her I knew I wanted a Ella-Baby.
