Our Laser continued on his winning way, being awarded Baby In Group all 3 days at Cooma and he won the 3-6 mths sweepstakes held on Saturday. He then won BABY IN SHOW on Sunday. I'll count them up but he's won several Baby In Groups and about 4 Baby In Show now, so we're thrilled. His mum...

Think you have resized rather than compressed. Resizing makes the pic smaller and alters the pixels. Compressing keeps the pixels (and quality) but reduces file size. If you have the original, try compressing through Windows Picture Manager. Hope this helps. TC

BIS RUBIS

A hot night preceeding the Spring Fair which saw lots of absentees over the 4 shows. The Whippet Club Show started at 7 pm so we probably had the best show conditions over the whole weekend. JUDGE: Ms Maria Kavcic (Slovenia) BABY PUPPY DOG ( 8 ) Ridgesetter Carbon Copy Dachlah Fernolli...

Hi all Due to unforeseen circumstances, a judge we were subcontracting from another club has fallen through. So now we find ourselves desperately in need of a judge for Easter 2010. We'd love (and prefer) to have an international whippet judge but as with most clubs, finances are tight, but...

Just got an email that Coco (Laser's sister) went Baby In Group at Goulburn today. The race is definitey on! :D

In steady rain, we were surprised and thrilled when Laser (Ridgesetter Carbon Copy) won Baby In Group yesterday. Then the long wait for General Specials and after the Afghan won BIS, I didn't think the judge would look at another hound, but Laser showed his head (and ears) off and won BABY IN...

So I blame the father's side for the bird catching gene? :D Sandra and Mike were telling us how Coco created mayhem during the week when she caught a grass parrot. The Goldens were all locked up going beserk whilst Coco was running around with the parrot who was biting her coat. The...

The runs are finally on the board and the race is on between our Laser (Ridgesetter Carbon Copy) and his litter sister, Coco, (R. Coco Chanel) owned by Pattersons of Buffalo Golden Retrievers. Both now have a BABY PUPPY IN SHOW at Hound Club Shows. Miss Coco is in front, beating Laser for baby...

Excellent entry.

As a judge and having presented breed lectures to aspiring Hound judges here in Oz, I've never encountered a judge placing a hand between the hip and tail base. I can only suggest that when you encounter something like this, speak to the judge at the conclusion of judging. Many judges will...

Posts are meant to be educative and informative and I thought not to single any particular dog or perceived faults out. Whippet toplines are being discussed in General Discussion so maybe interested listers could discuss toplines there. Cheers

It's not unusual for a breeder to believe that a couple of pups have potential and run them on for a show owner to choose and then if the other puppy is also of good potential, that would be offered to the 2nd purchaser. The only problem I see with this scenario is that the potential purchaser...

Well done Lana. We've been a bit busy with family matters so haven't been keeping up on lists. However, we are pleased with our Rosie (Jack x Ming). Those who have watched her from a baby will remember me carrying her around for her first couple of shows, then me dragging her around for the...

Type, shape, soundness of body and temperament are most important and should, and generally do, get awarded even if the exhibit is above standard height. Some breed standards have a disqualification for exhibits over the height standard but the whippet standard doesn't. If you started to...

Just heard she arrived safely and is curled up in Angela's lap. :D Much relieved. Didn't pack her PJ's and heard it's pretty cold over there. Angela will have to keep cuddling her. :thumbsup:

A very early morning for us. Mandy (Ridgesetter Belrose Mandy) is at Sydney airport going through her final customs check to board the flight to her new home in Christchurch, New Zealand. We hope that she arrives safe and well and that Angela, Ian and the kids (Cherishme Whippets) will have...

Is the breed really getting bigger? I don't think so. Sure there are some big ones but is there a trend of the breed getting bigger? I doubt it. I've seen 23" dogs but I've also seen 17" bitches but there will always be variables. I'm sure the vast majority of dogs fall into the middle. I...

Interesting. I went to the database and was a little amazed at what I read. Having had and been very actively involved RR's for over 34 years, I'd never heard of some of the diseases they listed yet having had whippets with cardiac disease, diagnosed and operated on at Sydney University, there...

Lana's question was simply about the regulations of showing straight out of quarantine as that was what she had been advised in her state. Others responded re their interpretation of the regulations and some that they thought even if you could show straight from quarantine, they wouldn't and...
