Merit Registered Dogs
Many years ago a friend gave me a box full of old photos, notes and handwritten pedigrees. They were written in the hand of Lana Lou Lane. After researching the material many times over throughout the years, I was able to compile a list of every dog she mentioned in the paperwork and photos. Her notes led me to the fact that nearly every one of her merit registered dogs was in fact a White English or half White English, and very, very few of them even belonged to her, despite their being named Lana's ___ Lane.
The information contained herein is information that I know to be fact based on personal experience and knowledge, and from John Conner, the only breeding partner Lana ever publicly acknowledged.
Below is a list of Lana's known Merit Registered dogs. However, her handwritten notes indicate a far greater number of dogs than this list were merit registered. Beside each dog's name, I have indicated, where known, if they were White English with the initials 'WE'.

Below is a list of other Merit Registered dogs, according to Lana's notes, with their official name and ARF number on the left, a photo, and their actual name and owner on the right. I have also included several White English that were not on the above list, though their parents likely were.
Lana's Conner Lane ARF 481 M
His official name and pedigree are false. |
Ashley Veal's Rad Max a Million (White English)
Sired by Carr's Hammerhead and out of Cason's Carr White English (CWE) Casey. He was the sire to Arnold's Cody, Conner's Millie, Conner's Ike, Conner's Candy, among others. He was produced by Jake Carr Sr. and owned by Ashley Veal, both of Hawkinsville, Ga. |

Arnold's Speckles (White English)

Lana's Lady Di Conner ARF 559 M.
Her official pedigree states that she was sired by Lana's Ike Conner ARF 483 and out of Lana's Belle Ringer Lane ARF 560 M. |
John Conner's Lady Di (White English cross)
Sired by Ike (above). Dam is Belle. According to John Conner, Belle was out of a White English named Harris' Lady and sired by a large red nose pit named The Beast, who was sired by a red nose pit named Baxter's Bloody Ripper. Produced and owned by John Conner of Hawkinsville, Ga. |
Lana's Belle Ringer Lane ARF 560 M
Her official pedigree, as written in Lana's hand, states that her sire was named "The Beast"; and that she was out of a dog named "Lady Harris", both of whom she has noted as being dead. |

|
Unknown name, unknown parents, unknown breed.
Considering that she is merit registered and that she threw a brindle pup, (Lady Di), she cannot be WE, but it certainly not an ABBB. She was likely a Brindle Bulldog, which John Conner also raised, or an APBT, which Lana's mother raised. |
Lana's Fold's Bull Lane
No registration number |
~no photo~
|
Tom Fold's Bull (White English)
He was a White English that belonged to Tom Fold's of Hawkinsville, Ga. Sire to Oscar, Royal Buck and Conner's Lilly |

|
John Conner's Candy (White English)
Candy was found in someone's yard in Thomasville, Ga. by Ashley Veal and purchased for next to nothing. Her said sire, Hal's Elvis was a made up name. Her said dam, Smith's Charlotte was added by Lana to fill in a blank. |
Lana's Charlotte Lane ARF 312
One official pedigree reads that her parents were Mason's Dude x Maxwell's Fancy Lucy. Another says that her parents were Lana's Merlyn Lane ARF 57 M and Lana's Annabelle Lane ARF 354. She is said to have been bred by her trainer, though, as was typical of the White English in her program, the official pedigrees were false. |
Smith's Charlotte (White English)
In Lana's personal notes, written in her handwriting, she lists the parents of Smith's Charlotte as Ben and Polly. She has no registration number listed for Smith's Charlotte. According to John Conner, Charlotte was obtained from near Dothan, Alabama where Lana got several very large female White English, including Lana's Sally Mae Lane 1 M. |
Below is a list of known White English that Lana used in her program. There are certainly more out there that are at this time unknown, yet may surface in time. Lana changed some of their names, other's not.
Marvin Arnold's Speckles aka Lana's Cannie Lane ARF 479 M
