| Mentmore Spaniels is owned by Denice Ray. Denice was raised with a father who loved to hunt whatever was in season, as a result many breeds of hounds and sporting dogs lived out their lives with her family while she was growing up. The love of dogs was passed on to her by her father, uncles and cousins who taught her not only about dogs and raising them to be all you want, but never to give up on one, that in time they can turn out to be all you desire with the proper time and training. For some the process is easier than others, but all have possibilities. Denice's father purchased her first bench bred English Springer Spaniel in 1976 when she was 14 after their family moved to the country. Keeper was a very special girl who was easily taught anything a young girl could think of. Keeper was all a bored teenager could have ever hoped for and just beautiful with her blue black coat and blinding white running gear. This lovely girl and Denice's next black & white, Tanner, who was from field lines, were the foundation for her love and devotion to this versatile breed. Over the years Denice has either bred or owned the sire of several dogs that have gone on to be Obedience, Rally and Agility Titled. Some of these have been awarded Canine Good Citizenship titles from AKC. She has placed a few dogs who are participating in 4H with children as well. Denice has now finished her first AKC Champion English Springer Spaniel, AKC CH. Lord Rosebery Of Mentmore, C.G.C. (a.k.a. Archie), just like all those beautiful Champions she has read and followed in books since she was a teenager. Today Denice is pursuing a performance title on her ESS Champion and starting his daughter, Cordelia in the ring. In this pursuit she was supported by her good friend and associate, Frank Farrar of World Famous Sedeki Salukis & Toys; who lent a big helping hand to her in the showmanship rings and is still working hard along side her with all of Mentmore's show prospects. Mentmore Spaniels is dedicated to their family of companions and is focused with each new addition, to strive for the betterment of their breeds. |
