""6073 Jessie" -- Mr. G. Pilkington's, Stoneleigh, Wootton Hill, near Liverpool (late Lord Sefton's); breeder, Lord Sefton; whelped, 1871, colour, liver and white ticked. Pedigree:
By "Sefton's Monarch" out of "Sefton's Juno", by "Sam" (see Faust's pedigree) out of "Duchess", by "Mat" out of "Harcourt's bitch"; "Sappho" by "Shot" out of "Pearl" by "Beau" out of "sister to White's Monarch"; "Sefton's Monarch" by "Manton (No.908)".
-- EKC Studbook, Vol.IV
"Jessie", the dam of
"Beau" ["Statter's Beau"], will always appear prominently in future volumes of the Stud as the dam also of "Garnet", and she might be termed pure Sefton, as she was by "Lord Sefton's Monarch" by "Mr. Statter's Manton" by his "Major", out of "Lord Sefton's Dence". "Jessie" was a type of exquisite quality, a little bitch of fair substance but brimful of blood-like lines; bred out of her family to a "Drake" dog, she got a big dog like "Garnet", and others that were coarser than he is, but for quality she prodced the best to the Sefton strain, pure as instanced by her daughter "Fancy" by "Lord Sefton's Marquis"; the latter is more blood like that "Mr. Statter's Beau", and on the female line to produce pure Seftons should be about the most valuable later bitch in the Stud Book."
