Delia is a very special bitch, and
always will be, not only for her success as a dam, but her history and
how we got her. Delia was given to a friend of my dads who was a
bookmaker, as a gambling debt, my dad then found a buyer for Delia and
she was sold to a friend of his.
Delia had a successful racing career
winning over 4 6 and 8 bends in open class, and became a good marathon
bitch winning a £3,000 competition at Walthamstow. Her owner decided to
breed from her but after being mated twice to Slaneyside Hare and
missing both times, the breeder who was looking after Delia suggested
she was Put To Sleep. My dads friend informed him of the situation and
my dad immedeatly suggested to give Delia another chance.
My dad got in contact with Lionel
Mannering (Rosegreen Kennels) and he agreed to take her in. Delia was
then mated to Staplers Jo and produced a litter of 6 which all died
within a few days, so the next time she broke down she was sent to
Staplers Jo again and in December 1999 she gave birth to a beautiful
litter of 9 and we have not looked back since. Delia has produced lots
of top and open class offspring, her best litter being Spiral Nikita -
October 2000 which
includes Special Trick, Connoisseur, Special
Event, Fast Prankster & Shaun Me Boy.
Delias offspring
have won in excess of 100 opens and we are hoping that her daughters
breed on and continue this wonderful damline.
