Flinthill Dogs

Flinthill is celebrating 20 years of breeding pointers and setters this year.   

We bought our first pointer in 1989 from Larry Drummond's Windscale kennels. Katy (Windscale Hello Dolly at Flinthill) was a lemon and white bitch sired by Sh Ch Pipeaway Scritti Politti.

She had two litters and one of her puppies was our orange and white bitch Molly (Flinthill Peaseblossom) sired by Pipeaway Culture Vulture. She was shown lightly and achieved her KC Stud Book number and won Best in Show at Border Counties Gundog Club Open Show in 1999.

Molly had three litters. Her first litter in 1998 sired by Ch Crookrise Slaney of Fowington, included Joan Collier's Flinthill Peaseblossom (1RCC) and our own Peter (Flinthill Peter Pan).

Her other puppies in the show ring were Kairen Barraclough's Flinthill Penny Lane (sired by Papermill Rocky Mountain High) and Flinthill Harry Potter, sired by Lynwater Atlantic Crossing of Crookrise.

In 2000, we decided to buy in a bitch and Cleo (Wherathy Peters Present at Flinthill) arrived. She was bred by Helga Edmondson and her mother is the Crufts group winner , Ellie (Ch Calderside Love in a Mist at Wherathy). All our dogs now go back to Cleo and Ellie.

Cleo had three litters, including one by Peter. Her pups in the show ring include our Sh Ch Flinthill Wild Thyme JW, Kairen Barraclough's Flinthill Rosemary, Duncan Busuttil's Malta Ch Flinthill Bracken and Carlos Gutierrez' Spanish Ch Flinthill Sunbeam.

Bridie (Davigdor Eliza Doolittle of Flinthill) came to live with us in 2004 from her breeder David Tobin. Her litter in September 2006 by Crookrise Rory gave us Jenny (Flinthill Jenny Wren) who won a CC and BOB and now lives with friends in Scotland.

I would like to thank everyone in the breed who has helped Flinthill over the years.
