The Wadesmill Line was started in 1968 by Max and Dorothy Wright with their first working bitch, Sherry of Woodlands (foundation bitch), who won the Northern Golden Retriever Novice Field Trial in Spalding Lincolnshire in 1970.

Max and Dorothy were bitten by the field trial bug and bought in Wadesmill Caesar (the first dog to have the Wadesmill Affix) and went on to make him up into a Field Trial Champion in 1974. Sherry of Woodlands and FTch Wadesmill Caesar were mated in 1971 (foundation litter). From this litter Wadesmill Jane went on to compete in field trials gaining 8 second places in Open Stakes.
