We brought Jay and his sister from Australia in January of 2019, when they were young and are so grateful to our friends, Peter and Griff of the Byerley whippets, Emerald, VIC AUS, for parting with them.
Arrow is our kept puppy from the Starz~Tyne litter born this year. His sister Lucinda now lives with Co-breeder, Hillary Frank, Whip Hill whippets. He is shown with Hillary in his 4 month photo. Other shots were taken as he grew up.
Tipody is an over actor, over achiever the likes of which I have not seen before. The fact that she is even here on earth set the stage for her future.
Here is how it went down:
American Whippet Club 2018 National Specialty:
- Winners Bitch from the Bred By Exhibitor class.
- Best Bred By Exhibitor AND Award Of Merit
Breeder/owners: Patty Ewing, DVM and Iva Kimmelman
We expect great things from this lovely whippet. When we went to Australia to meet her brother Jay, she wrapped her front legs around my shoulders and begged me to take her too. So we did. She will start her coursing and showing career in 2021.
Kaskade is a wonderful combination of beauty and sweetness. Her litter by Ch. Merci Isle Across The Pacific is doing well in the ring with Jory winning a 3pt major and Best of Breed and Verve and Seas in training for their futures.
She is our special puppy chosen as she looked just like her famous grandmother, Plume. Verve is a talker, and always greets anyone with a toy in her mouth and a description of what is going on with her. Already having a Best In Sweeps under her belt and a keen drive to chase we expect to have lots of fun with this lovely character.
Our lovely Eden has grown up so nicely. She is a AKC show champion and has finished her LCM title. We look forward to breeding her this fall, 2014.
She has the most perfect whippet temperament. Sweet, affectionate and likes every person she meets.
"Eden" is an example of our ideal whippet type.
Classic lines with balance of proportions to allow for a quick dash off the mark. She has the very best temperament possible and we are so grateful and lucky to have her!
Magnolia is the FIRST and ONLY American bred AND English Champion whippet to date.
This title is the most difficult show title to obtain in the entire world. Open dogs compete with Champions and only one CC is given out to a dog and a bitch at each show. Usually only Champions get the CC. So as you see, it is really something for her, especially in the high quality competition in England to gain a Champion title, but she did it!.
Ch. Merci Isle Magnolia had a whirlwind show career here in the states and was exported to the UK shortly after.
She has won a fourth CC after winning her UK CH title. This is considered the seal of approval. Now we wait to hear about puppies from her.
