Comments by Patricia Sutton:
"Another look at early American imports from the 50's and 60's. The Appeline kennel of Douglas and Carol Appleton had bought many of their top show hounds from hunting packsm but then went to the States for their next purchases. The first of these Appeline Dancer of Camerlyn. He produced Ch Derawuda Willing for Mr Watson and several other good winners.
Their next import Int. Ch Appeline Top Ace produced two Champions Derawuda Bashful and Forrardon Chance. Their next import was to become a huge influence to the future of show beagles through one of his sons. Am Ch Appeline Validay Happy Feller came over in the late 60's put to the lovely lemon and white bitch of the Dialynne kennels, Ch Dialynne Nettle, the result of that mating was of course Ch Dialynne Gamble. He produced more Champions for the Dialynne Kennels, many of whom were sent abroad to improve beagle stock all around the world."
