The greyhound sirelines of the world
A very interesting fact is, that most leading sires of the world
are in their sirelines directly descending from one dog: King Cob [UK 1839] born 1839 in UK.
This sireline leads over the well known ancestor Contango [IU 1870]. There are so many succesfull sires from this line, that we'll only mention some very well known names:
HB's Comander,
Temlee,
Sand Man,
Monalee Champion,
Supreme Fun,
Newdown Heather,

Peter Rose from the excellent Australien Winninglines helped to trace this line back to that
of King Cob[UK 1839].
The only important sire line besides that of King Cob came from the Australian ancestor
Comedy King [AU 1908].
This line is actually only top in Ireland/UK and had to be (re)imported over the USA from Australia.
Peter helped to trace Comedy King back to the UK born Rolla [UK 1804] owned by Lord Rivers.
