| Visitor Comments: Enjoyed looking at the old dogs. I showed against Rob Ida's Jeorge with a J. Only lost to him once but he was a nice dog. He was owned by a sweet lady named Ida Mae Giddens who bred either Siberians or malmutes. Jeorge I believe was sired by Ch Showfield Bobby, who stayed at my place for a while until I gave him to John New. Had someone have gotten to Lee Wade before he got senile in the late 70's the Showfield dogs were the last real show quality field kennel. I went up to see him in the late seventies and he was suffering from dementia. The dogs were in bad conditions, but he had a 15" male that would have taken your breath away. I would have taken him home but would have had no way to register him as Mr. Wade couldn't remember who was
sire and dam for sure.....
Thought I'd give you a little beagle trivia there.....
