Shannon Down Whippets: What an AWESOME weekend!!!!

We had the most awesome weekend this weekend!!!! We ran 14 dogs each day at the WRA/NOTRA race meets to make numbers and they had so much fun, they are SO tired and will be sleeping really well tonight. To start off we will post about the other Shannon Down Whippet news...

On Friday - Joanne took Kira (mother of the Bird litter, she was bred to Brooks), Aren (a Murphy son bred by Kiesha) and Marseille (Sweet Pea x Blaze) to work on some obedience/rally titles. Kira finished her CD!!!! Aren finished his RN and Marseille earned her second leg towards her RN - way to go Joanne and kids!!!!!!!

On Saturday - George and Michelle took Ripley ASFA coursing in VA, Ripley placed 3rd in the Field Champion stake of 8 dogs - he's well on his way to his LCM! Way to go Ripley! Glenda in Texas took Brom and Frenchie to work on some coursing stuff, Brom completed his JC title and both he and Frenchie pre-certed for ASFA!

On Sunday - Glenda took Leo, Frenchie & Brom ASFA Coursing. Leo won the Open Stake of 7 or 8 dogs and finished his ASFA Field Championship!!!! Brom placed 4th and Frenchie placed NBQ!!! What a great weekend and we've only just begun!

Okay - mom and I went racing in Camden, SC. On Saturday it was 32 dog WRA meet...
Bosley placed 3rd and got the top WRCh point, FOUR!!! Now he only needs 1.33 points to finish his WRCh!
Cuda placed 4th and got the bottom set of points, 2 WRCh, his first WRCh points!
Tinsley ran her first meet and placed 5th, just short of getting points but what an awesome finish for her first time running!
Striker (Bosley x Winnie that Dee Evans owns) ran his second meet and placed 9th and finished his CR title!!!!
Gali finished 10th in the meet and also finished her CR title!

Now for Sunday... I think it was even better than the day before! A 42 dog NOTRA meet.
Viva, who hasn't run more than a handful of times all year, finished 6th and got the top set of ORC points - a whoping FIVE ORC points!!! She now has 6 ORC points. We were so impressed with her today.
And then Cuda, Bosley & Tinsley all tied with the same points and placed 7th, 8th and 9th - since Bosley is finished already, Cuda and Tinsley split the 2nd set of points - 2 each!!!! Tinsley's first time running the oval and she got ORC points!!! AND Cuda got points both days in a row - how awesome!
Striker ran his first NOTRA meet and finished at 13th - not bad at all - considering there were 8 ORC titled dogs at the meet!!!!
Brooks finished his OTRM-3 title and had the best time in months, he hadn't been running in a long while.
Also - Torin, who just turned 7 years old this month is running better than ever. He had a great day of running and is now only 11 points away from his OTRM-3!!!

The dogs all had a blast, we are incredibly tired and we will all sleep really well tonight!

I snapped some pics on Sunday that I am posting...
