Karen, I thought it was fantastic, I really enjoyed it. Nicky

Isaac, Savuka Mambo Sun, and all of us here at Savuka send our congratulations to Mikee and Jackie Nicky

Well I'm sorry but I didn't think that I was being rude simply expressing an opinion. As for the many that are eagerly awaiting news of the forthcoming litter well interestingly, since I posted Ive received a number of emails agreeing with me. I'm afraid I do not consider it progress, just...

I have been reading this thread with mounting incredulity, am I the only one who thinks that this is one of the craziest things Ive ever heard? I hope to God that our kennel club NEVER sanctions such a thing. I cannot imagine someone coming to use one of my dogs and then going off to use...

What a great idea! Would it also include the breeding of the winning dogs? Nicky

I am on the phone with Patsy at the moment telling her about the nice things you are saying and Im trying toget her to come back. We have both been very upset about the turn this thread had taken, encouraged on by someone we both felt should know better. However its really nice to know that...

Yes Tracey , two bitches that did did the breed proud. Nicky

Well it just goes to show how words can mean different things to different people. To me "outstanding" means just that, better in all departments maybe, in the context of the show ring, fit the bill in all departments, better than the rest.... just better. I never thought that so many people...

Well Bertha nice to have you back if only for a short while. Just to set the record straight I have not slagged off anyone for working or racing their Whippets., in fact its been the other way around and as for what gives me the right to have a go well its the same right that others seem to have...

Well Penny Meadow where do we start? First of all I would like to know why those of you who do not show and I am ofcourse assuming that you dont, feel that it is necessary to come on to a show board and insult those of us that dont do things "your" way? Do we come and insult you? For most of us...

Yes , I free run my dogs, I live opposite the Downs and I love going over there as much as they do and if they put up a rabbit , they put up a rabbit. I love watching them run, for me one of the pleasures of having the breed. No I dont race, first Im not interested in racing, secondly I dont...

We all used to walk wherever we wanted to go, then along came the chap who invented the wheel,next was the horse and cart and moving forward very quickly, we now have cars to get us from A to B. Progress I believe its called. If any body wants to have a Whippet that reminds them of the old days...

Well what word is that that has upset some of you? Fabulous or long? To say that a dog with a long neck cannot function is nonsense, mine have long necks, fabulous or otherwise and they do not seem to have any difficulty catching rabbits. As for the British kennels of old, I have a great deal of...

I have always felt that the American Whippets excelled in, amongst other things, fabulous long necks, so no nothing new there but it certainly seems that Oscar had a longer neck than most! As has been said before when the Americans get it right ,no one can touch them. Looking through both...

I think that if you live in a country that is dominated by breeder judges then yes I think and quite rightly so that the breeders do drive the breed but if you live in a country dominated by allrounders then the allrounder wields a lot of power and under systems where champions are made up a...
