Ormskirk Muriel was born round about 1910. This line of 23 bitches ends with probably the very last Laund bitch by the name of Laund Lusara. These Laund bitches were bred by Mr Stansfield’s daughter Mrs Ada Bishop. The number of Laund Champions is legion. Many more than any other kennel in the history of the breed. Although many were bought is and had no Laund breeding behind them. I have to assume that Mr Stansfield the owner of Laund was mainly a dealer, He bought many good Collies and changed their name so that they became Laund Collies. He made up many Smooth Collies as well. In fact at one show his Collies won all four Challenge Certificates. This is most unlikely to ever be repeated.

Only one champion bitch in this line but Ch Laund Livia was a very successful dam producing several important dogs. Her grandson Ch Laund Lucigard was the last of the many Laund Champions. And her granddam Amarylis of Cressbrook was the dam of many Laund bred Collies. Eden Evidence was another successful brood bitch with many of the top Collies bred between the two World Wars owning her in their line. While her dam Eden Ellena was behind all of the Edens born at this time.
The line did not produce anything of note for the first ten generations then came Corella Mona. She was the dam of Corella Doris that started a whole family of Eden Collies and she was also the dam of Ch Corella Starboy Born in 1935. He did not produce much himself but he is behind the Jefsfire and Whitelea kennels and several other Champions including Ch Belaccoyle Beauty. A reverse pedigree of Corella Mona is interesting as the number of Eden Collies coming down from her s extraordinary.
I have put a reverse pedigree of Laund Livia here to show what an important contribution she made. I remember this bitch very well because at the Championship shows she was benched next to my dogs.
