Hi from snowbound Ottawa where we have just broken the record for the most snow in December -- ever!!! Boy I hope the snow doesn't follow me to Crufts in March... I'll be drummed out of England it I bring it with me! So glad to hear from you and see that lovely photo. Migosh he looks...

We have flown with and/or shipped more than 30 dogs over the past decade and a half, many of the dogs within Canada but a number of others on extended trips from here in Canada to Scandinavia. We have used several reliable airlines (KLM, Air Canada, Lufthansa) all of which request that a dog...

Hi back. For the record, I corrected the Archives record on this one because this happens to be one of the pedigrees I personally researched at the KC. So I know for sure, who the correct sire was. People are doing their best to be helpful and fill in holes in pedigrees on the Archive...

My records also have Silent Knight as sire. I have found a small, but not insignificant number of pedigrees on the archive site have errors in them ranging from incorrect sire or dam, or litter mates, or simply awful spelling errors. These things can, and should, be corrected by people who...

He looks quite promising and is certainly very balanced for a four month old boy dog. As a fan of blacks (we have one ourselves over here in Canada) I would really like to know his full pedigree. I have his dams, but you haven't given his registered name and date of birth, and who are his...

Okay am back again.... I came across this: UK Ch Skytime of Glenbervie w: 31/3/1970 Particolour Breeder - Mrs J R & Mr D C Selby Owner - Mrs R Topham S: Steelbridge of Glenbervie D: Sky Gypsy of Glenbervie Hi back Karen. I spent some time today going through the show catalogues of The...

Karen My records show CH Skytime Of Glenbervie was sired by Steelbridge Of Glenbervie x CH Shalfleet Shakespeare (Imp Uk). Now in the Whippet Archives it is listed as CH Glenbervie Skytime which could be a mistake as the pedigree is not continued from her listing I hope this will help...

I am the same as you. There must be someone in England with a long memory or a good pedigree program that would know this definitively (she asks hopefully!!!). But it is now reaching back nearly 40 years and there are not a lot of breeders still active (or even with us anymore), to say nothing...

For whatever reason Glenbervie Skytime is a dog my pedigree program stops at too, but looking at my alphabetical listing I see that there are Glenbervie Sky Flash, Glenbervie Sky Belle, Sky Dream of Denorsi and Eng.Ch. Skytime of Glenbervie all in the same litter. This really does suggest a Sky...

I have Newbold Madeleina -- Not Melaina. Sire is Ravensdown Bright Star and dam is Newbold Samema Queen o'Diamonds. Lanny Morry

I have two Starwyng names on my pedigree program which is pretty inclusive for the UK, but no Starwings. They seem to have a relationship to Savuka/Kaymark and Palmik and Puddledock. Both appear to have been bred in the mid 90s (Starwyng Parfait Amour was born in July 1995). The sad truth...

Greetings from Canada where it is typical practice of most -- but not all -- breeders to remove dew claws. We have ours done by the vet on day one or two and that ends the potential for problems later on, as I shall describe. We have, however, had three whippets with intact dew claws, whom we...

A final question then for tonight for all the night owls in Oz... does this mean Andromeda, Adonis and Agamemnon are littermates? Sired by Aust.Ch. Oakbarke Lowglen Masterminde x Martinique Tabaquera? That would tie up two loose ends for me. Lanny

And back past him to his grandparents Charlie and Lizzie I hope too! That is always my game in doing up these pedigrees.... I can trace every dog we have ever bred back all the way. Lanny

I have the same information for Tenor -- out of Ch. Airwave Adonna. Also Ch. Ruegeto Nikki of Nevedith is Eng.Ch. Akeferry Jimmy x Eng.Ch. Skytime of Glenbervie and his date of birth was 30 June 1975. Lanny

Hi Karen, good news because I have the information, thanks to John McLeod sending me a pile of Oz catalogues old and new. I also haunt the Pedigree site trying to stay away from their steadily increasing number of dogs (I have 23,500 pedigrees, but mine deliberately excludes lines that are...

If you have a young or old dog please read and be aware it is not just show dogs who are getting this. I am very sorry to hear about this awful situation but curious at the same time to know if the dogs that have been afflicted had been appropriately vaccinated in a according to the veterinary...

Have you considered diabetes? Canine diabetes is quite common and some of the symptoms you describe suggest she could be diabetic. She is the right age, and the right gender, as diabetes seems to strike female dogs in mid-life more than at any other stage in life. Over the years we have...
