This is a modern family that just reaches the minimum level of eleven generations. I cannot find any more information about this bitch but the line does have some very famous sires.

Strange that almost of the sires in this line are Champions. The breeders had some sense and knew how to breed the best.
I have a personal interest in this family because a granddaughter of Nellwyns Silhouette by the name of Ch Lynaire Chiquitita gained her title when I awarded her the bitch CC at Windsor Ch Show. I had previously awarded her the Reserve bitch CC when I judged the enormous entry at the London Collie Clubs Ch show in 1983. She was an interesting bitch in other ways as well. She had a litter to Ch Karava Kornishman. This produced three dogs that were to have a significant role as stud dogs with many winners sired by them. These were Lynaire Man In Black the sire among many of Ch Seafire Shadow. Lynaire Midnight Blue the sire of Ch Aberhill Bluewatch and Lynaire All In black that went to the Steadwyn Kennel in Sweden and had much success. But no bitch puppies in the litter.
Ch Nellwyns Black Beauty was a big winner in her time but like too many good Champion bitches she did not make a name for herself as a brood. But her dam was a good brood as she was the dam of Knight Porter of Rokeby who was a very influential sire and a huge number of Corydon’s go back on this line.
Just a small example

From a short bitch line that looked fairly benign suddenly became very important. Knight Porter of Rokeby was a well known stud dog as was his son Rokeby the Renegade and his even more influential grandson Ch Rokeby The Radical. While for Radical his daughter CH & Aus CH Corydon Glory Hallelujah was one of the most important dams in the history of the breed being the dam of at least eight Champions.
I am certain that Glint of Gold had a pedigree somewhere and would match up with one of the other bitch lines.
