I remember Truffle when she was still at Nevedith and I was visiting from Canada. You are lucky I didn't think to ask if I could take her home with me because she is my favourite colour and her pups -- before I knew the parents scrolling down the page -- struck my eye because my favourite...

Hi Karen, I do apologize. I left Canada on 9 May and arrived in Maryland (Westminster where my friend Jalynn is an attorney (as am I) that evening. The show in question was on Sunday (mother's day) but it was NOT in Maryland but I think in Lancaster ... or nearby ... Pennsylvania. As you no...

It sure was not one of yours! It was owned and bred by someone I don't know - a young woman who is likely in her late 20s and who had three dogs with her, showing only one and the other two just there for socialization. None of the three dogs, all of which she bred, she advised me, looked like...

Hi all. Judging in the UK is a situation that is unique and does not conform to any other showing situation I am aware of world wide, except, perhaps, in the case of specialty judging in countries outside the UK where there are a substantial number of entries. The reality is the UK show scene...

It sounds to me like you have been listening to too many American exhibitors, who concentrate on side gait and ignore the fact the dog is not sound either coming or going. They race around the ring at breakneck speed to show the dog moving out strongly. But when you gait them slowly up and...

Every time someone in other breeds where cropped tails or ears are popular -- as they are over here and still allowed, a dog is submitted to surgery. Fortunately most countries in Europe have stopped allowing this, but I do know of people on the continent who have deliberately taken a bitch to...

Now we know who dad is, who is mom (registered name) so I can put them in my pedigree program please?? We have bred a number of crosses with this colour combination and you get a bit of everthing, though I must say when we bred Nevedith Ceefa Ceely, a fawn and white to our blackest black...

With a houseful of oldies like your Rhett, getting ever close to the end of the candle, our heart goes out to you. There is never an easy moment to lose a much lovesd whippet and I feel your loss tonight. Lanny

Fifteen and a half is a noble age... he was fortunate in many ways including that and his title and the fact that he so obviously prospered in your ownership. You must be delighted. But it is so darned hard to let them go though, isn't it? My thoughts are with you. Lanny

Ohmigosh, every time I see a picture of Sonya I see her father stampled clearly in her, and I see her 10 year old half brother, bred by Jarmo Vuorinen in Finland, whom we own - Fin.Swed.Cdn.Ch. Scheik's Ardbeg Avalonia. The headpiece in all three dogs is stunningly similar. Nice to see a new...

Hi Becky, do have someone check to see whether this is true or not. Here in Canada collecting the metal snap caps off of cola cans became a national obsession after it was reported that the weight of these tabs would buy wheelchairs for the disabled. People happily collected zillions of...

Do you know of any other Whippet in Australia current or past that has his/her TD title? Hi Lana, the most titled whippet ever in Canada is one called Clearhounds Kiera who is a daughter of our Ch. Nevedith Local Lancer. At the time she became the most titled whippet last fall I heard from an...

For those of you waiting for the long awaited, much desired, return of The Whippet Archives (TWA) -- check it out -- it is finally, happily, gratefully back! Thank you Karin and everyone involved in bringing back this incredibly wonderful, incredibly useful and icredibly valuable world wide...

Greetings Bart from Florida, USA where I am on holidays in pretty incredible heat! It is 90 something here and you have to come in out of the heat by noon or be served, cooked for dinner! Congratulations on that fabulous, fabulous win this past weekend! So what do those folks in France now...

I agree with you. Dogs 'settle' into their adult height after 12 months and between then and 18 months depending on the line. All of our dogs (all Nevedith lines) do this and that is really the best time to show the dogs when the body has matured, the shoulder has set, the topline is...

If you want a cuddly whippet get a male! The girls are a little too smart, and a little too calculating and they add up what they expect from you in return for their affection given to you. They are cat like, aloof, and practical. The boys on the other hand, seem to have a slightly lower IQ...

Hi Emma: You did get the pup too early but it is not too early to begin patterning the pup bearing in mind the developmental stages dogs go through mentally as they adjust to other dogs and to the humans around them. Here is an excellent link that outlines the stages towards maturity and...

ah, ok, I had no idea. do you have junior champion title or is that just a european thing? There are no junior champion titles in Canada or the USA. This is probably because there is no minimum age before which a dog may become a champion, and so there is no need for a junior title. Dogs as...

Junior courser. As opposed to Senior Courser. A junior courser means a dog has completed the basic requirements for a coursing title in the USA. A senior courser is the equivalent of a dog that can qualify, in Canada, for what is a Field Champion in Canada. In Canada this means the dog has...

Thanks for sharing the class winners. Congratulations on James! Are you planning to post more results each day... do say yes! Lanny Morry
