MARJO
MARJO I have been involved with dogs all my life. My first dog was p&s schnauzer. Then I got a blueroan cockerspaniel and that started the love of spaniels. My first WSS came to our home in 1980, he was an import from the UK, called Pencelli Proceed "Cymro". In 1984 I got my very own dog, he was also from the UK, INT FIN N CH NordW-86,-87 FINW-87,-88 Delkens Turul, who ended up being a top winner in the ring, the first WSS who won a group at an Int Ch show here in Finland. He sired numerous champions. My first bitch was Russethill Remembrance, from the UK. The foundation bitches of Benton are an american import FIN & EE Ch Statesmans Unbridled and FIN CH Dons Take off to Benton. I have always been interested in other Spaniel breeds as well as Retrievers. When I judged in Australia, I gave BOB, Junior in Show and later on best Retriever to a young male called Chaleur Valentino. Then I felt, that I really want one like that as well. As I cant keep many dogs at home, one thing led to another and then in 2014 Piia (now breeding under Benton prefix) and I went to pick up lovely Martha, Dewmist Duplicity after a long wait from the famous Dewmist kennels in Sweden and my dream came true, I was now a co-owner of a golden . I had the great honour to handle lovely Martha at the Golden Ring Main Championship Show in 2017 when she took BEST IN SHOW!
