In 1985 we purchased the lovely fawn bitch 'Sankins San Moon' ( Mindy ) from Sandy Hawkins. Mindy was sired by 'Byrock Moon River', who we had watched gain his only CC, from Mike Stockman. Mindy's mother was 'Quatt Tammy'.
Mindy not only had a fabulous temperament but turned out to be a wonderful mother. When she died, shortly before her 11th birthday, everyone who knew her were saddened. Mindy was mated to Tom Kentish's German import, 'Ch. Rajah von der Grimmelsburg of Tollydane', a dog we handled at stud on several occasions, following the tragic death of his owner at just 26 years of age. From a litter of nine puppies, seven were reared, and several of the puppies from this litter went as foundation stock to new-comers to the breed, several of whom have gone on to establish winning kennels and are now championship show judges in the breed.

The puppy we retained, a brindle, 'Kingrock Saffron', went on to become a top producer and the UK's leading French Bulldog brood two years running. All five of her champion progeny were sired by the outstanding stud dog 'Ch. Tollydane Pierrot at Nokomis'. Shown below are some of her champion offspring and one or two others from this very successful mating.

Pierrot to Saffron also produced the beautiful 'Kingrock Angelica', who was so unlucky not to gain her title, winning 2 CC's and 7 RCC's. 'Angelica' did produce a title holder, 'Ch. Kingrock Poppyseed', sired by the stunning 'Ch. Nokomis White Eagle'. At Crufts in 1993, the Junior, Limit and Open winners in the bitch challenge were all Kingrocks, with the CC going to 'Ch. K. Poppyseed' and the RCC to her mother, 'K.Angelica'.

For her next litter 'Sankins San Moon of Kingrock' was mated to 'Ch Ledormy Squire Finch' and produced the handsome fawn, 'Zimbabwian Ch. Kingrock Goldfinch at Gamestaff'. This combination also produced the South African Ch. Kingrock Strawberry Finch, but unfortunately we do not have her photograph.

UK & Am.Ch. Kingrock Poppyseed produced just one litter and this was by the pied 'Kingrock Pagliacci'. From this litter came the very feminine 'Kingrock Sesameseed', who in turn, mated to another of our pied stud dogs, 'Kingrock Moon Mission' produced the outstanding litter containing the top winning French Bulldog puppy of 1996 'Kingrock Frogmella for Roozrick.

PENBURTON DOUBLE ACT WITH KINGROCK
'PENBURTON DOUBLE ACT with KINGROCK' (Madge) joined us in 2006. Madge's pedigree contains many of our old lines and she has won consistantly at championship show level. In 2007 Madge produced her first litter, sired by 'Roozrick Bilbo Baggins', who is linebred to 'Kingrock Frogmella for Roozrick'.
During 2006 we also acquired the litter sisters 'Inyawood Phyllis Diller at Kingrock' & 'Inyawood Lili Marlene at Kingrock'. Once again their pedigree contains our breeding on both sides and we are sure they will contribute greatly to the blood-lines we have already. They are seen in the photograph above, at 10 weeks of age, with a Victorian toy.
THE FOLLOWING PHOTOGRAPHS ARE A TRIBUTE TO THE HANDSOME CH. INYAWOOD LILI MARLENE AT KINGROCK SON, KINGROCK RAIMUNDO.
