Historical Pedigree: Eng. Ch. Gotoground Widgeon Bunny

Mrs. Esmee O'Hanlon owned this outstanding show dog born in 1958. He sired only two champions but was a dominant influence on the breed through later progeny, including Ch. Ragus Whipcord, the first group winning Norfolk, Eng. Ch. Ickworth Ready, Ch. Ragus Brown Sugar and several very influential Nanfan dogs. He had no full siblings and his two littermates did not contribute significantly to the breed. Of the 21 half siblings on his sire's side three were champions and of the 15 half siblings on his dam's side, only one was a champion of record. He produced 19 litters (not many for his time) for a total of 55 get, only two of which were champions. Bred to Nanfan Nettle he produced the influential Eng. Ch. Nanfan Nimbus, but his greatest influence may be his contribution to the Gotoground kennel itself through Eng. Ch. Gotoground True Blue. His stud fee advertised in an old publication was 8 Guineas.
