This page is created for the memory of our GB Import 1972: Sumburgh Lulubelle (link to her page) "Lullie" as we called her -  she owned us from the very first moment.  We bought her from Rosemary Morewood kennel Sumburgh up in Carlisle august 1972.

Lullie was a most charming Sheltie - she know how to get her will - and when I not agreed with her she only smiled to me showing all her teeth and waging her tail !  I adored her !

Lullie never carried a big coat but her charm made the judges forgave her.  She became an Int. and Nordic Champion !
From her three litters 4 became CC winners and one of these became N S Ch Leeland Delicious Dawn (sire Int Nord Ch Heathlow Martext of Lythwood) his litter sister Leeland Day Dream got a  CC and 4 times ck.  (Photo on the left shows her as a 7 weeks puppy in our son Dag Christers arms)
 

In Lullie's next litter to Int Nord Ch Lysebourne Double Up we kept a bitch Leeland Gold-dust - she got one CC and 4 times ck. In 1978 she became the mother of 4 puppies (sire: Int Nord Ch Heathlow Martext of Lythwood) and two of these became CC winners: Leeland Golden Lullaby (2xCC) and N SF Ch Leeland Golden Lulubelle (photo on the right)  that we kept.

In Ch L Golden Lulubelle's first litter (by Int Nord Uch NordV84 Mondurle's Bannock) we keept the bitch Leeland Golden Gate and she became a Champion in 1985.

Ch Leeland Golden Gate (photo on the right) became mother of N Ch Leeland Golden Bee (photo on the right) and the sire was Ch Lythwood Stiletto.

Ch Leeland Golde Bee (photo on the right) only had one litter and a bitch from this litter became a champion - the 4.th Leeland bred champion bitches: N Ch Leeland Golden Art (Sire N Ch Stationhill Speculator) - the photo on the right show her when she was 10 months so she lather on carried some more coat !

Ch Leeland Golden Art became the mother of a CC winning daughter Leeland Golden Cover (sire N Ch NV95 Marklin Wild Jazz)  but Golden Art also is the mother of the N Ch Leeland the Golden Viking (sire: N Ch NV96'98'02 Kindergate the Joker) ....so Ch Leeland the Golden Viking is the 5.th Generation Leeland bred champion Shelties.
