    Cruft's show, with its ample provision for the young idea, has seen the first steps to greatness of many Pointer notabilities, and that of 1925 was a particularly far-reaching event, inasmuch as among the young stock judged by Mr. Tom Steadman that day were "Ferndale Faro" (which won the puppy class, and which appears in the lineage of so may of the present-day dogs through either his son, "Marlais Marksman", or is daughter, "Ch. Slades Sylvia"); "Nancolleth Mark", which went through five classes to win his first C.C.; and "Stylish Mac", which was to make his mark as a sire in this country, with "Stylish Monniegold" the most famous of his progeny, and afterwards to influence the breed considerably in the States through the 'Herewithem' line of Mr. R.F. Maloney. Mr. Gothard won the bitch certificate on that occasion with a sister to "Mallwyd Mick" in "Mallwyd Mischief". -- Daly, The Pointer as a Showdog
