Telcontar Perm. Reg'd English Setters
English Setters were my first love and at age 15, I purchased an orange belton bitch puppy from Honey Glendinning of the renowned Fantail English Setters. Fantail's Tinuviel of Telcontar or 'Larkin' became my first champion. Larkin was eventually bred to the lovely tricolor BIS Ch Briarpatch of Bryn Mawr and produced five puppies, one of whom I kept and showed, Can/Am Ch Telcontar's Arwen Evenstar, a beautiful orange belton bitch.
When I relocated to New York, Arwen went to live in Miami where she was shown.While living in NY I attended a number of dog shows and met Mary Margaret Ruth of Wicket English Setters. I was so impressed with her dogs, I returned West with an orange belton, dog, Can/Am Ch. Wicket's Ragtime Band 'Alex'. Alex finished his canadian and American titles quickly while still a youngster. Upon learning that Mary was repeating the breeding I asked for a bitch puppy. This resulted in Ch. Wicket's Alberta Clipper 'Maddie'. Maddie. Although on the small side was a lovely bitch and I felt she would produce well bred to the right dog. At the time, Paula Dempsey was showing a lovely blue boy, Ch. Caberet Manuscript 'Elliot' who had everything, Maddie needed.

Sweetie 'Fanny''Fanny' shone from the start and was clearly the pick puppy in the litter, so when Elliot's new owners, the Ronalds came to pick their stud fee puppy I was surprised that they wanted a boy who later became Can Ch Telcontar's XTC of Marron. Feeling they were making the wrong choice, I offered them Fanny on a co-ownership as I wanted to have a daughter of hers to carry on the line. They took Fanny but sadly never honoured the written and signed agreement.Fanny fulfilled her promise by winning a record breaking 55 Best In Shows, numerous specialties , Top Dog All Breeds and Purina's Show of Shows Fanny was beautifully conditioned and handled throughout her career by Doug Belter. Despite letters and phone calls to the Ronalds, they refused to acknowledge the contract they signed, even going so far as to forge my signature to transfer Fanny's reg'd papers over into their name only.
