These are the photo that I took on Sunday, Some of them are not very good photos as I was try to muti task!! I had a really nice day and I would like to thank all the exhibitors without whom their wouldn't be a show. Secondly I would like to thank all the committee of NWA for inviting me to...

Two new pups 11weeks now. Ones staying other one is a lodger, both will be shown (hopefully)

To be honest I don't have one reason, 1, Because I have no reason to vaccinate before this age as I have no intention of taking the pup out and about. 2, I think that it can be a traumatic experience. 3, It can make them a little unwell for a few days (not would I would call auto-immune...

My answer to your first question, would any breeder give a guarantee or warranties with puppy's health issues? In this day and age it is highly unlikely that you would get such a guarantee, all respectable breeders, breed whippets to produce the best they can. The most you could expect from the...

I think that this is interesting reading and a valuable topic, However, we also need to put the topic of congenital/genetic disorders in to context because we are at risk of giving the impression that the breed is in ruins, which it isn't. Over the last three years in the UK 8183 whippet...

I have got a new camera so I have been having some fun out on the walks.

Flipping heck! that was such a long time ago I can't even remember the content, It might of been the Catch 22 because it frustrated me at the time! Or possibly the fact that I updated my CV each year to the Breed Clubs Judges list and then I was told by one club memeber from one club that I was...

Yeap, he should be baned from TV altogether hes a :clown:

To get on a C list you need to apply to the Whippets Clubs with your involvement in the Breed and other Breeds over a period of time, if the Club thinks that you are genuinely interested in the breed and have attended a breed Workshop I think it is highly likely that you would be placed on the C...

Jackie, I can remember you doing Hound Ass of Scotland, and what you were wearing (w00t) (w00t) :thumbsup:

What would be interested would be to know how long it actually took people to Judge, A, First Breed Club Open show B, First Championship Show with CC's Personally, I judge my First Whippets class in 1996 and have my first breed club this year.

On another thread it was asked what the criteria the british Judges have to meet to be able to judge Whippets and award Challenge Certificates. So not to side track that thread I opened another. Judges have to meet a minimum criteria to Judge Whippets at Club Open show level before they would...

But if you took this to the extreme you could have 2,3,4 or more CC's for each sex at each show. Or just a point system like Europe. I don't award CC's but how many times does the Judge say places could change, etc, etc, but on the day you place what you feel is the best dog or/and bitch. What...

37 CC available in 2008

Well funny you should say that, and I was thinking the same, On one of the pages it states that the first came from kennels of an owner that had borzoi's, which makes you rub your chin a little, and say Mmmm I have also just read that they are not recognised by the AKC, (thank goodness) So...

As the topic is about US & UK Whippets I was having a snoop around the US sites and came across the long haired whippet association! With a breed standard (thus the link to this thread) Are they recognised by the American Kennel club? If they are, are they shown? Are they coming over to the...

you're right Jo and the voting is in favour of a change.

Cheers Patsy, but I'm not going to let you off that easily, 8) These are the breed record holders over the past 40ish years and excellent examples of the breed they were. However, it would be interesting to know during the rein of these record holders how many others were made up, if you take...

I hear what you are saying Pauline, yes a dog might get held up and not become a champion as quickly as it might in less competitive years. And yes in an era of a breed record holder this could result in a dog missing the chance to become a champion, but these breed record holding dogs don't...
