Sir Bedivere – A Lyndhurst Legend
“He created the Gould Challenge Cup as his parting gesture to the breed.” Krystyn adds that this awesome piece of Saint Bernard history will be on view for Westminster in the mansion library. Their special Westminster display also features historic pictures such as Frank Gould’s first Saint Bernard litter whelped at the kennel. “Upstairs in the art gallery we also have their trophy cups and in the center is the Frank Gould Saint Bernard cup and a smaller challenge cup, one awarded for Smooths and one for Roughs.” I took a look and I think that’s a damn fine parting gesture.

In it for the Long Haul
Before the era of motor vehicles, if you were a farmer who had no larger draft animals, you used big farm dogs to haul tools across the farm and goods to and from market. In Europe, breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and Rottweilers specialized in draft work while also serving other functions, while Canadians used their mighty Newfoundlands. In the Old Times, the tribes of the American Great Plains often used dogs to haul their goods in travois.
Beautiful Babies of Westminster

Breed Priorities – Black and Tan coonhound
The Black and Tan Coonhound was the first coonhound breed recognized by AKC in 1945; it had been recognized by the United Kennel Club earlier. The Black and Tan Coonhound, like the other coonhound breeds recognized by AKC, was developed in the United States from foxhounds and other European hounds, including the Bloodhound and Talbot Hound assumed to be in the Black and Tan’s history. Four of the other coonhounds – the Bluetick, the Redbone, the American English, and the Treeing Walker – were developed using primarily colonial foxhounds. The Plott evolved from the German Hanover hounds brought here by the Plott family who used them with other local breeds to produce their breed.
