Great sadness

It is with great sadness that I am letting you know that Dot Whittaker (Hunter) past away last week.
I am sure all our thoughts are with her family, some of you will have met her son Alan, at Midland Counties watching his wife Fiona, showing Herman in puppy and junior dog, winning both I might add.

Those of you connected to the breed for a long time know Dot bred large munsterlanders under the affix of DATROY. Others may not know but although my line looks as if it started with Gorsebanks, the Gorsebank lines foundation bitch was Sh Ch Datroy Ebbtide of Gorsebank.

Datroys are behind a lot of lines and were very influential in the breed and a lot of top winning dogs can trace their lines back to Datroy.

A lady with a great wealth of knowledge about the breed who will be missed
