                                   BRITISH BIRTHDAY BOYS-- A Guide To The Past

   In their lifetimes, some proved to be prolific breeders. X Black Thorn sired perhaps 74 litters, R Cockney Robin in his day perhaps 10 less than that. P Pure Passion is credited with no less than 57. Both R Brandon and E Just The Ticket From Bluewaters each have numbers in the mid-sixties. So it is clear that these Goldens have made significant contributions to the breed.
