Mult-Ch. Newkilber Camelot (World Winner. '79 + '81)
In the '80th 'Newkilber Camelot' was the most titled ISCW-T. (World-Winner '79+’81).
Robin as he was called, affected with his descen- dants (only in Germany 170) the European ISCW breed in outstanding way.
 
The prefix "Wheaten Rebel's" is registered by Mrs. Margret Möller-Sieber, D-36132 Eiterfeld. She and her husband Gerhard Möller have made up over 50 home-breds of International status over 100 national Champions and five World Winner titles.

1979

Eight Wheatens were imported to Germany.
Two dogs and a bich came from "Waterford" - kennels (USA), one bitch from "Finchwood" - kennels (GB) and one bitch from "Oak's" - kennels (NL). They all went to "Fantastic" - kennels registered by Mrs. Beate Meinecke, Nienhagen.
One wheaten-pair bred by Mary Bourke (IRL) wents to "Wheaten Star's" registred by Mrs. Gerda Tank, Elmshorn.
From the Irish "Newkilber" - kennels one bitch was sent to "Wheaten Rebel's".

Under the prefix, "Fantastic", used by Mrs. B. Meinecke, the first litter was whelped (Sire'Skelling's Irish Rascal' and Dam 'Finchwood Tansy').
The second litter, a breeding between 'Skelling's Irish Rascal' and 'Waterford Jetsetter' an imported bitch bred by M.+ D. Shoemaker, USA, produced 'Fantastic Butterscotch'. He and 'Lontree Waterford Wiggins' were the main stud dogs in the "Fantastic"-kennels" with together thirtyfive litters and 297 descendants.
Currently "Fantastic" has grown up the highest number of ISCWT's. in Germany.

"Wheaten Star's" - kennels registered by Mrs. G. Tank, Elmshorn, started 1980 with six puppies. Sire 'Timothy Stardust' and Dam 'Lady Jane'. Both were imported one year before from Ireland.

1981

"Wheaten Rebel's" made another significant import from Ireland, the Irish Ch. 'Newkilber The Quiet Man' . He travelled the show trail with 'Newkilber Camelot' and "Newkilber Killala" a wonderful bitch who collected five international Championchips and was World Winner Bitch '81 + '85.
'Newkilber The Quiet Man' ( Mario) was the first wheaten of his breed to win a Terrier Group in Ireland.
He finished up with national titles in five countries and one World Winner title.

"As stud forces the impact of 'Multi Ch. Newkilber Camelot' and 'Multi Ch. New- kilber The Quiet Man' had a tremendous effect on the ascendancy and develop- ment of Wheatens worldwide....both of these remarkable dogs are 100% IRISH in their long lineage which goes right back to the beginning of the breed".
(M Holmes, The Softcoated Wheaten Terrier, S. 105).

Mrs. Edda Schinke, Molfsee near Kiel, whelped her first litter of ISCWT's under her prefix "Sundance". Her foundation bitch was 'Fantastic Dear Desirée'.

1988

"Wheaten Rebel's" - kennels had great success with importing a wonderful whelp-dog from "Danterri Wheaten" - kennels (DK), owned by Birthe & Bjarne Jakobsen.
His name was 'Danterri Wheaten Man About Town'.
"Danterri Wheaten" based its breed likewise on Wheatens from the Irish "New- kilber" - kennels. So the continuity of the "Wheaten Rebel's" breed line was still guaranteed throug this import.
Michael, how he was called, was a success from the word go.
He captivated by its first-class heredity and his show career is legandary and probably unsurpassable.
Michael finished up with nine national titles, two times Europe Winner and three times World Winner. Nine times he awarded to Best In Show !
