RIP Spek zo Sorosa of Emmaclan

Spek zo Sorosa of Emmaclan was one of the first Slovaks to be imported into the UK in 1997. Spek sadly passed aged 13 in 2009.

"I’M AFRAID I have some rather sad news. Margaret Holmes tells me of the loss of their beloved Spek zo Sorosa of Emmaclan who was among the very first of the three Slovakian R/h Pointers brought to our shores from Slovakia in 1997 by Margaret and Kevin Bingham. Spek was 13 years old and such a wonderful ambassador for the breed and is, indeed, in every pedigree of our stock here in the UK.
Margaret and husband Colin are terribly upset. He was such a big person – his super temperament and personality were the reasons why she fell in love with the breed in the first place. She is pleased that these qualities and his legacy will live on through his progeny. He obviously leaves an enormous and irreplaceable hole in their lives and Spek will go down in the breed’s book of history.
The other stock from Slovakia were Santel and Supa zo Sorosa. Then Amie and Amaretto vom Kapffelsen came from Germany. These five dogs are the very foundation of all the stock in the UK."
