BANDIT

Ch. Cleopatra’s Black Magic CGC

My first show dog from my first breeding. He finished with a five point major and Best of Variety from the classes. But the highlight for me was Bandit winning a Best In Match at nine months with me handling. I still have that rosette.

NICKY

Ch. Wendadam’s White Knickers

Nicky is the only male dog I have ever purchased. He came to me from Barbara and George Adkins in Texas and is behind all of the dogs in the Abbey Lane pedigrees. I keep waiting for another Nick.

CARY

Ch. Abbey Lane's Bit O'Blarney

Cary was from Cleo’s second and last litter. He had incredible coat texture. It never matted and he could be kept in full coat with little upkeep. That made it easy to show him as a veteran where he won Best of Variety at the Southern California Cocker Club show and retired a trophy previously won by Bandit and Nicky.

TEDDY

Ch. Abbey Lane's Ruff Rider

This is the red and white dog on the opening page of this website. Teddy was the sweetest boy I have ever bred. He had the dark red and white coloring that we don’t see as much today.

WILLIE

Ch. Abbey Lane's Steamboat Willie

My first big win at the ASC Summer National was with Willie in Orlando. He was BOV Parti Futurity in a huge class. Willie was another sweet boy who preferred staying at home so was retired from the ring while still a young dog.

BENNY

Ch. Abbey Lane's King Of Swing

Benny made a great showing in the ASC Veteran Sweepstakes ring with his owner, Alicia Shearhart. Benny was third to his brother, Willie, in the ASC Futurity in Orlando. That was quite a thrill to have 2 of the four placements in 6-9 Parti Dogs. Benny was acquired later in his life by Donna Harrington of Dal-Mar who did a beautiful job bringing him into condition and seeing his potential as a stud dog. Alicia and Donna partnered on giving Benny a wonderful life. He is truly missed by many.

CHARLIE

Abbey Lane's Little Tramp

The Willie/Benny brother who did not go to Orlando in the Futurity. Resources did not allow a third dog to go. Charlie reached 10 points toward his championship, but didn’t enjoy it as much as his brothers. Since Willie, Benny, Teddy, and Minnie were all out showing, I decided that Charlie could stay home which is where he stayed with me.

JESSE

Ch. Quasar's Badd Boy

One of five in his litter to finish, Jesse was the only show boy in the litter so he got a lot of attention. He usually ended up going Best of Opposite Sex to his very pretty sister, Heddy.

TUCKER

Ch. Wendadam's White Tuxedo

Tucker was a beautiful puppy that showed a lot of promise. More of the dark red and white pigment I love. He won his Futurity class at American Spaniel Club and quickly finished his championship.

CARTER

BISS Ch. Abbey Lane's Anything Goes

Carter went to the American Spaniel Club show in Perry, Georgia in July 2005. I was thrilled when he won his 6-9 dog class in the Futurity. I was totally unprepared when he went Winners Dog from the 6-9 class in the Regular classes. From there he quickly finished his championship and sat at home waiting to turn two for his hip certification.

A tall, elegant dog, Carter started back in the ring again May 2007 after spending time at Abbey Lane growing up. In June he picked up his first Best In Specialty Show. He is OFA Excellent.

Carter had puppies with Ch. Javalin's Around The Horn. Puppies were whelped February 18, 2008 and have gone to their new homes. We had tri color and black and white co-bred with Quasar. Two champion tri bitches resulted from this breeding. His second breeding was to Ch. KayJen's I'm All That. One red and white boy, now Ch. Abbey Lane's Speed Racer.
