Sparkle's father is ENG CH Paudell Easter Plantagenet At Kerrien, OS
(Outstanding Sire), Fred. He was the top stud dog in the United Kingdom
for 1993, 1999 and 2000. Fred's semen has been shipped all over the
world
and produced champions in many countries. This is the first time it had
ever been shipped to the USA.
The British goldens have so much to offer. Sparkle is a wonderful
blend
of the English type and British type golden. Her density of bone
structure
is better than most American-bred goldens but not so stocky as to be a
problem in the conformation ring. She has a wonderful English head and
I can see her father in her eyes. We have great hopes for Sparkle and
think
she will shine with the best that both her English-bred father, Fred
and
her American-bred mother, Gracie, has to offer. I eventually hope that
we can breed the best in the USA to the best in the UK and produce the
best of both worlds.
