(Jan 1909 l'Eleveur Belge announcement) The female Groenendael Printemps de Rixensart had a litter, 25th of December (1908) of 2-3 by Fantome de l'Enfer. Both dogs are owned by J. Drossart, Kennel de l'Enfer, Wasmes. (Feb 13, 1909 Chasse et Peche announcement) Miss Elda, Filoza's mother and Tom's half sister, also had to be carrying the grey gene. Her father, Cyclone du Progres, was also the father of Tom. Moreover, Tom was Miss Elda's maternal grandfather. As we shall see, it is quite possible that Miss Elda could have received her grey gene from either Tom or Cyclone. Tom's mother, Tempete, was also the mother of Cyclone (who now becomes both Tom's father and half brother). Tempete's grandfather was Demon de l'Enfer, a famous black stud for his time. Demon also carried the grey gene, since he sired the beautiful, grey bitch Creole. BBA px Many times first place winner, and first prize a reproducer. BBA p20 Father of the grey Creole.
