Just wanted to take a moment and catch up on some special congratulations to a few great (and busy!!) people who have spent the time and energy, not to mention love, getting their dogs out and earning some wonderful accomplishments along the way. As a breeder, I know we can not do this without the support and love that these owners give our dogs, we all want the best for them, weather it's out running, showing or warming someone's bed:) Some are first time Whippet owners and some are "veteran" Whippet owners, but all have worked hard and deserve recognition!!
Sharron Lane from TN put her very first ASFA FCh on a Whippet a few weeks ago - he is "Blaine" Shannon Down Mind Control SC, CGC, FCH. He finished his ASFA FCh in Georgia recently and Sharron and Blaine also made their ring debut together a couple months back, resulting in Blaine's first show pts (and Sharron's too!!) Blaine also is Major ptd towards his AKC FC and working on Agility!!! Blaine is by Ch Tivio N Windigo In Like Flynn and out of our girl Leigh. Congrats Sharron and Blaine!!!
Dawn Hill of Georgia also had her first Whippet ASFA FCh this past weekend. Spencer (Shannon Down Surprise of My Life JC, FCH) is the first FCH for both his sire and dam as well. He is by our Swedish fella - Burnt Sienna Midsummer Dream SC and out of Shannon Down The Speed of Light JC, CR, OTR. Congrats Dawn and Spencer.
Spencer's brother Elle (Shannon Down Element of Surprise) recently was Best Male, BOS and earned his first CWC Excellent in POLAND (second time shown) - he needs two more CWC's for his Polish Championship! Congrats to his owners Janina and Angelika Wojcik!!
Glenda Konopka has been busy in Texas. A week ago Leo (SDW Annadar Kiss of Fire, SC, FCH) finished his ASFA FCh and then this Sunday he won his AKC Open Stake for his second Major towards his AKC FC. He also has 8 ARX pts and is singled out in the ring. I can't thank Glenda enough for all of the hard work she puts into the dogs and the love she gives them!! I know they are all in good hands:) Thanks Glenda.
Our friend Joanne Ronning of MD has been VERY busy with coursing and rally (she's almost as crazy as I am:) She completed an AKC FC and ASFA FCH on her boy Derby (FC Chesara Jaytea Curlew SC, FCH, CR, OTR, RN, CGC) as well as a Rally Novice title on both he and his sister Avery. (Both bred by Joanne but sired by our boy Brooks) She also has Major pts and completed the RN title on Marseille - Shannon Down French Kiss SC, CGC, OTR (Leo's litter sister) Now that RN was a big accomplishment for the ultimate wiggle butt:)
And to my long time friend and co-owner - Kiesha Crawmer - thank you for intrusting the girls and Murphy to us. This weekend our girls Winnie (FC Windyglen Winning Colors SC, FCH, CRX3, ORC) and Viva (FC Appaws Vivid Imagination SC, CRX, OTRM) both earned WRCH pts. Both have taken it easy in 2008 but they are tuning up for racing season in 09!!!
And last but not least - Debi Adams earned a 2nd Major win on her boy Porter, whom she co owns with Janis Castle and Sue Vernon (his breeders) Porter needs a single to finish and is out of Shannon Down Shakin The Tree sired by Zafara Rainbow Connection. We are so proud of them!
Congratulations to everyone - the time and effort you put into your dogs and the care you give them does NOT go without notice and appreciation. Krystyl and I are very lucky to count you as friends!
