Simolo of the Congo Call name: "Simolo" KC number: Sex: Male Color: Black, Tan and White Approximate date of Birth: Unknown Date of importation to U.K.: August 1939 Area discovered in Africa: Sudan/Uganda border Sire: Unknown African Dam: Unknown African Breeder: Unknown Importer: Veronica Tudor-Williams Health testing and history: Date of Death: Unknown Cause of Death: Unknown Comments: From Veronica Tudor-Williams 1946 book: "Simolo was . . . beautifully made and very sound. With a perfect front, short back and excellent hindquarters. Splendid legs, feet and movement. Good dark eyes and coal black nose. His faults were he was far too big, his coat was too heavy, his ears were on the large size, and he had the undesirable central curl tail. His head, though well-shaped, could have been finer and he required more accentuated wrinkle."

Litters produced: December 10, 1940 - 1 female red and white registered and the others were considered too large and coarse so went as unregistered pets - Breeder: Veronica Tudor-Williams J'Joku Bongo of Blean Tisandu Dam: K'Impi of the Congo Monganga Bokoto of Blean Pashi

Comments: One puppy female Wunda of the Congo. Elspet Ford writes in her 1993 book that there were more puppies in the litter than Wunda but they were not registered as they were larger and more coarse than desired. Wunda produced one litter in 1941 by Kinga of the Congo. Kinga leads down into the Andersley stock, particularly Eng. Ch. Andersley Albacore, 1951, who is behind many pedigrees.
