"History of the Mandigo"

Great Great Grandfather to Daisy, Chase, Samantha, Maypearl and Sadie

BISS Ch. Am. Can. Mex. '78 World & Int. Ch. FRANKLIN'S GOLDEN MANDIGO AWC CD

The History of the Mandigo bloodline started almost 30 years ago when Laurell Hand purchased her first female puppy. She was also referred to Dr. and Mrs. B. W. Ziessow of Franklin Labradors, a kennel where she purchased a quality male. She purchased a show quality male out of Ch. Franklin's Tally Of Burywood and sired by Ch. Shamrock Acres Light Brigade. This breeding happened to be the second top-producing breed in the history of the breed. The puppy Laurell picked up from them turned out to be BISS Ch. Am. Can. Mex. '78 World & Int. Ch. Franklin's Golden Mandigo AWC CD

The Mandigo offspring has won hundreds of championships over the past few years. I would like to thank Laurell Hand and Kim Riggins for mentoring me and giving me the opportunity to raise such an outstanding bloodline.
