History of Temeraire

Temeraire is the Man O'War immortalised in William Turner's mystical painting "The Last Voyage of the Fighting Temeraire".  Temeraire was part of Nelson's fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar.  She played a vital role in drawing French fire from the Victory and thus saving Nelson's flagship. It was a history that fascinated teacher Suzanne Walsh and she dedicated the name to her kennel prefix which she registered in 1972. 

Temeraire has established an enviable reputation in English Setters, though the breeding program has been limited.  Stock from this kennel has been sort after by breeders, and the finest bloodlines have been introduced to maintain a vibrant and successful gene pool.

Careful research and development has seen imported bloodlines used as required and the ratio of puppies to champions is staggering.  In fact to date 22 Temeraire offsping have gained Championship title status and the future assures that more will be added.

Please note we are selective in our breeding / stud requirements and will, on request, forward pedigree information.

In earlier days ...

These dogs have left their mark on the progeny of the 90's and beyond ....

 

rosay
Champion Somercote Satin Rose

Ch Kellydowns Kavalier ex Temeraire Midnite Lady (litter sister to Fleur).

Rosay made a wonderful contribution to the breed, being the dam of seven champions which included a Dual ESA Bitch of the Year and Dual Manoah Encouragement Award winner (Dream), a BOB Melbourne Royal winner (Satin Doll), NSW ESC and Setter Club Point Score winner (Rochelle), plus numerous other successes.  Her progeny have in turn produced winning stock for me and those who bought from me.

 

fleur

Ch Temeraire Millefleur

Int Ch Suntop Winterbreeze (Imp UK) ex Ch Wenella Shantilli Rose

My first home bred champion who gained her title at only 14 months of age.  Fleur won at group level and took out the ESA's Manoah Encouragement Award for the top scoring class and place winner at Championship Show level.  Her greatest achievement was to win the Bitch Challenge under the late Bobby James (UK) at the Sydney Royal Show.  Her only litter produced five champions including a Melbourne Royal BOB and ESA Dog of the Year winner, and a Sydney Royal Reserve CC winner.

 

Travler and Rose

Trav enjoyed a happy but short career, being forced to retire from the ring early after tearing ligaments.  He won at group level, was always placed at Royals, his best effort being placed first in Intermediate at Sydney Royal by P Dondina (Italy) and going on to Reserve Challenge.
