Liz, GCH. Wynmoor Sweetgrass White Diamonds, was named after Elizabeth Taylor. From the moment she was born, she has lived up to the diva nature of her namesake!

While earning her championship, Liz was ranked as the #13 ESSFTA bitch in breed points for 2013. After completing her championship, Liz was shown by Erin and quickly earned her Grand Championship. Seeing how much Liz enjoyed the show ring, Erin, Billie, and Alison decided to have Janice Hayes, a long-time friend and handler in California, continue Liz’s specials career. In limited showing, Liz became the #1 ESSFTA bitch in breed and all-breed standings for 2014. Here are some highlights of her career thus far:

• Best of Breed at the 2014 ESSFTA National Specialty
• Best of Breed at the 2014 Eukanuba National Dog Show
• Best of Breed and Group 1 at the 2015 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
• One Reserve Best in Show
• Ranked # 7 in ESS all-breed competition for 2014 (the only bitch in the top 10)

We thank her breeders, for breeding a beautiful bitch that exudes correct springer type, balance, movement, and temperament. We also thank the judges for recognizing these qualities in our girl. The support from Liz’s owners, other springer breeders and those in the fancy is heartwarming.

Maddox was bred by Susan Still of Foxboro of Howell, Michigan. At the tender age of 8 months he made the long journey to Hawaii to his new owner Sharleen Perreira of Shardust ESS. While growing up and being campaigned in Hawaii, he finished with a Group 1. With multiple BIS’s and RBIS’s already in Hawaii, Lynda O’Connor Schneider contacted Susan and Sharleen at the end of 2013 to campaign Maddox on the Mainland. Making the hard decision to have him leave his home to go so far away was easier knowing how much he loves to show and what a great home he would have with Lynda. Coming on board Team Maddox were also two great ladies of the dog world-Ruth Dehmel and Ellen Charles. The highlights of his 2014 show career were:

7 BISS(one of the best being winning the prestigious Eastern Specialty under Judge Jon Cole)

2 BIS’s and 4 RBIS’s, 14 Gr 1, 22 Gr 2, 20 Gr 3 and 14 Gr 4

104 Best of Breed wins.

Everywhere he goes, his charisma and exuberance earns him many fans. He has become a favorite of many of the photographers around ringside. After his 2015 campaign, Maddox will return back to Hawaii.

He is currently the 2nd BIS winning springer in the history of the breed.

Not only has Peyton made his mark in springer history as a show dog, but he is proving himself as a show sire. To date, he has 21 champion get. Among those get is winners dog at the 2013 National (CH. Meritale Telltale Sabrage) and BOS at the 2014 National (CH. Seaview Notorious). Along with beauty and breed type, he has passed along the trademark personality that makes springer spaniels a fun and loving family companion.

Lizzie, BISS GCH Cerise Coco Chanel RN CGC, is the daughter of CH Cerise Point of View [ESSFTA 2009 Show Dam of the Year] and CH Ramblewood Johnny B Goode.

Lizzie is always shown by her owner Nancy Bitters to all titles, easily gaining her CH and GCH in the US including multiple group placements. She is also a Champion in Canada (Winners Bitch - ESS Canadian National 2010) and a UKC Champion as well. Lizzie dabbled in the Rally ring and got her RN in 3 consecutive shows. At a show in 2014, there was a CGC test offered, Lizzie passed with flying colors.

Following in the tradition of her dam, Lizzie is an incredible producer of quality pups.

Lizzie was bred for her 1st litter to GCH Cerise Jesse James [ESSFTA Show Springer 2008 and 2009]. From this litter there were 3 boys shown to their championships – BISS GCH Cerise Chanel Exclusif (Danny), CH Cerise Haute Couture and CH Cerise Beau Jeste. Danny has gone on to garner a CH in Canada (Best in Sweeps - ESS Canadian National 2012 and Best Bred by at the ESS Canadian National 2013), a UKC CH and is consistently in the top 5 of the AKC National Owner Handler Series as well.

Lizzie was then bred to CH Cerise Majestic Ensign. This litter produced 4 champions – CH Cerise Burberry (Best of Opposite Sweeps ESSFTA National 2013), GCH Cerise Henley on Thames, CH Cerise Allure de Chanel, and CH Cerise Sophie’s Choice.

Lizzie is now starting her career in Veterans and has won Best Veteran in Sweeps in 3 shows including a Specialty show.
