The first Gordon Setter I saw was SH. CH. CAREK BRONZE CLANSMAN owned by Mrs M Hart, this turned out to be love at first sight, I couldn't wait to have one. A phone call to Mrs Y Horrocks and CAREK PINK LADY OF DIPTONIA came into my life. This turned out to be my foundation bitch. Although not extensively shown she gained her stud book entry and produced a dog who became this kennels first Show Champion his name was Sh. Ch. DIPTONIA PIMPERNEL.
The Second Sh. Ch. to be bred was Sh Ch DIPTONIA DOUBLE SCOTCH
