> Susan, look into the Cavalier books and you'll find photos Mme Harper > Trois-Fontaines (always wearing a brimmed hat) among the UK Breeders. She > was THE lady who founded the Great Pyrenees (Pyrenean Mt.Dogs) in England. > She was also a friend of Lady Forwood (Eyeworth Cavaliers) and helped keep > the Cavalier breed going during the 2nd WW. If you go back in the early > pedigrees, you'll find the deFontenay affix on some of the dogs > She has a wonderful autobiography called "My Travelling And My Dogs", which I'm sure Judy and many others have read though it isn't easy to find. It is fascinating to read her ideas on how to raise puppies, prepare dogs for show, etc., as well as the remembrances of her travels. She must have been quite a character! Very little in the book about Cavaliers but still definitely worth reading. It was published in 1972 shortly before she was to judge Pyrs at Crufts at 87 or 88 years of age.
