The
Wendover Story
Peter James, Chairman of The Kennel Club, accompanied by Valerie
Foss presented a cheque for £1000 to Peter Mann, Chairman
of the Charitable Trust Appeal Fund at Crufts on Friday 8th
March after the Crufts Press Briefing.
This cheque represented the first profits from the book they
co-authored, entitled ‘The Wendover Story’.
The book chronicles the life of Peter James’ mother and
father L C and J James who became breeders and exhibitors of
superlative Irish Setters under the prefix Wendover. Their kennels
became one of the most important in the history of the breed.
The book includes a chapter on W J Rasbridge and PRA using Rasbridge’s
own papers, never before used and kindly lent by Mrs Rita Bryden.
The chapter also highlights modern research into PRA and CLAD
by Dr Jeff Sampson.
The publication has been limited to a print run of 1,000 of
which there are only 100 copies left. All sales of the remaining
copies will go to the Charitable Trust Health Foundation and
The John MacDougall Educational Resource Centre at The Animal
Health Trust. This money will be presented at a later date.
