Myrtle has been highly
influential in the Maursett line, with her first litter
producing our own Show Champion, Sh Ch Maursett Marguerite, a
Champion for Judy Sutfin in the USA (Am Ch Maursett Maclaya) and
Irish Ch Maursett Morning Glory for Mary Kelly in the Emerald
Isle.
"They all
laughed at Christopher Columbus...."
Well, they all laughed
at Tony when he took Myrtle the Chocaholic (she just could not
resist chocolate) out on a shooting day. They stopped
laughing when she proved her worth after a hard day's work in
the field.
And, should you
ever feel inclined to go shooting footballs, may we commend
Myrtle's offspring as companions for the retrieving work!
Myrtle passed away in
2004 and her humour and inherent sense of fun and mischief is
sadly absent from our lives.
