…..sweet, because of the non-expected successes: Tara won the Puppy Female Class on Friday and become Best Female Puppy at the World Dog Show in Bratislava! The male classwinner puppy, Boxing Helena’s Imenitni won the “Best Puppy in Breed” competition.

Our brindle Dana was placed for 3rd by specialist judge Patsy Gilmour (GB). It means that both of our entered pups were placed!

Vega and Willow also did well: both excellents. We are proud of them because they are full american Whippets and they are blacks, so excellent is something to hope for but not really expected...you know what I mean…..

City ended up with “very good” under Gerard Jipping, handled by Becky Gardner.

I felt honoured having the chance to show PetrezselyemProjekt Breeders Group and Lightfall’s Will-O-Wisp’s Progeny Group together with Sue Nichols and Becky Gardner ( Lightfall and Willowisp kennels, USA). They, and Becky’s daughter Brianna were our guests for the weekend. After the busy show day, we had a lovely Saturday: castle museum, reneissanse restaurant and harvest festival were in the program. It was fun!

I am very happy on Sue, Becky and Brianna’s visit. They came into our home, we spent the weekend together. I am also very happy about having the chance to show with them together at the WDS 2009…. I mean showing together our dogs; results of their breeding program too.

I’m also very-very happy on Punta’s success: Ch Panther’s Ghost z Uplnku, father of our 2009 litter went World Winner Male…..

……but this weekend tastes bitter too, because Willow flew back home. My heart is nearly breaking. We all knew that the time would come, but nobody thought it would arrive so fast. 2 years….. I just can’t express how much we love this girl, and how thankful we are… to her, and to her owners too; for the chance to found our small kennel on Willow’s bloodline. We are missing her deeply right now….but we know that she returned back home and her “real” owner came to fly over with her. Dear Willow, be happy….at least as happy as we are about You!

Is the second photo of Willow, the one in the window, an imprompto photo? I love it, it looks very natural.

Congratulations but also heartfelt commiserations on having to part with Willow after all that time

Gorgeous. One day maybe we'll get quality blacks and black parti's here that can go to the top level.

Willow is so beautiful :wub: I love the kids too! Congrats for great results :luck:

of course they are all so sweet and your are quickly attatched to them to have them with you.

However, you still have the black beauties Maia.

Yes it must have been very difficult for you to let her go back home - but you'll just have to pour all that love into the ones she gave you, Maia, she is still there, in them.

Congrats for the great wins - doing well. :thumbsup:

Thank You so much .... I think we all need some time to get over it, Willow too....

@ ownegirl: yes, this photo is natural, she was simply there, standing, and I took this picture...one of our favorites.
