always admired this dog and had used him
has since produced puppies of beautiful size
and shape. Like his father he will also make a
positive contribution to the gene pool in the UK
and hopefully in Norway & Sweden too.
Following Lulu’s arrival to the UK in 2014 she
was first mated to DJ (so a full TMT litter) to try
and secure a Lulu daughter with a complete
USA pedigree. With three dogs and only one
bitch to choose from it was decided not to keep
a pup. It was late in 2014 that Nick & Andy
learned of the sad passing of their friend Sue
Evans (Sueves), the owner of Randallcarr
Dream Lover aka Guiness. Nick & Andy had

at stud very successfully producing seven
Witchstone Champions for them. As he had
been such a loyal servant to the Witchstone
kennel Nick and Andy agreed he could live his
retirement years in their care.
His retirement started with an exciting rendez-
vous with Lulu. After a few very testing years
fate played its hand and this mating rewarded
Nick & Andy with the remarkable record
breaking litter of 5 Champions. In doing so this
so poignantly took Guinness to joint 1st place
on the list of Top Sires taking his total to 12
Champions alongside their other superstar stud
Ch Amalek I Got Rhythm.
From the famous Guiness/Lulu ‘Indian’ litter Nick
& Andy kept Ch Witchstone Cheyenne Falls
& Ch Witchstone War Paint. They won the
CC & RCC respectively at 6 months of age and
had outstanding puppy careers with War Paint
taking BPIS at UK Toy Dog and Cheyenne Falls
the Toy Puppy Group at Southern Counties and
added a further CC and 2 RCC’s that summer.
The ultra-confident Cheyenne Falls went on
to achieve great things. She gained her title at
Darlington Championship Show aged just 13
months going on to win the Toy Group that day
too. She added a Crufts ‘Best of Breed’ and a
Club Championship ‘Best in Show’ to her titles
for the ‘full house’ of top awards and a well-
deserved place in the history book.
Lulu’s second litter by Ch Randallcarr Royal
Crown at Pelugias saw pick of dogs and pick of
bitches make an immediate impact in the show
ring both winning multiple CC’s from the puppy
classes. Richard Forsythe’s Ch Witchstone
Tommy Hawk at Richpin JW was also the
first ETT to qualify for the Kennel Club’s JW
competition; he made history by winning the
Grand Final at Crufts in 2018. Nick & Andy
kept Ch Witchstone Minnehaha and not to be
outdone by her brother won her first CC with
BOB and qualified for the Pup of the Year final
at LKA in December 2017 and returned a year
later to win the Toy Group under Ann Ingram.
Minnehaha also won Best in Show at all three
