 Ch. Eli-Fran's Sir Percival, Madde Eli-Fran's Aristocrat Ch. Eli-Fran's Sir William | We have been in love with English Toys since we purchased our first one from Tom O'Neal and Ron Fabis in 1990. Although she didn't turn out show quality, her sister, Ch. Dreamridge Dear Melanie who we purchased a year or so later became our foundation bitch and produced five champion offspring (out of eight) and was awarded the Register of Merit by the English Toy Spaniel Club of America. Her grandson Ch. Eli-Fran's Sir William (Willie) has been ranked in the top 5 in all-breed points every year since 2000 and was #1 in 2002. He has won 6 all-breed Best in Shows (which is one more than the prior breed record), one National Specialty Best of Breed in 2001, as well as Best of Breed in 2002 at the Camino Real English Toy Spaniel Club, followed by Best of Variety at the 2003 English Toy National and again in 2004. Two of his offspring finished at this year's National weekend, giving him 7 champion offspring so far out of 10 puppies. |
