hi could anyone help. we have a year old pedigree blue whippet, but unsure as to whether he has come from show or racing stock. gentleman today at races advised we ask on K-9 community for help. according to his papers from th KC certificate these are his decendats

1.sire- karmarkdale rough diamond 2.Dam- sliver ghost lady

3.laguna lively lad 4.kenmilltri fulmar over karmarkdale

5.bluestreak lanfranco of sufeina 6. angel dust

continues to 62- dancer in time

all this a bit foreign to me never had a ped before always rescue dogs from the kennels.

can anyone help me to understand how this works !!

here is a picture of our little boy just back from the races- still practising

many thanks

working/coursing stock i believe karmarkdale have used Laguna and Mike Brown lines in their breeding

 

[josmith]

thanks for that- he is our pet and we dont intend to work him although it is interesting to know what his descendants used to do.

cheers for the quick reply ) were new to this K9 thing

cheers

Bluestreak Lanfranco at Sufeina was bred by Cathy Brown (Dragonfly) who is on here. He was/is a stunning blue whippet who was a successful coursing dog.

Angel Dust was bred by Steph Ely out of her Midnight Dill and is by my black dog Bean (Fleetway Ebony Edition). Trish G on here has two bitches from Midnight Dill's sister Ebony Black Pearl. Moriarty on here has a son of Angel Dust (Guto) though from her mating with Harvest Fayre.

I hope that you have as much fun with your boy as I have with Bean. :luck:

IS HE MUZZLE TRAINED,DID HE HAVE ONE ON TODAY??????

Thats interesting :b the different schools of thought

Personally I never put a muzzle on untill my dogs start to run with others, by this time they are so focused on the lure that they dont notice the presence of the muzzle if its popped on at the last moment

Good luck :luck:

Ditto :thumbsup:

he has been hand slipped over the previous weeks,without muzzle .this was his 2 time out of the traps 1st time with a muzzle .looking goodcouple more times to get him trapping ,then he needs to go in with another dog.

whats peoples thoughts off level, giving start, taking start from a faster dog coming past, i.m,o i like to give a slower dog start so he will go past :sweating: :luck: :cheers:

 

[IanGerman]

All of those David, but probably to start with, try to find an older dog that he can go past without much trouble. You can start them level on the first run, then give him a yard to make up 2nd run etc.

Good luck

in answer to jo smiths question about karmarkdales bloodlines they are bred for looks, temperament and working ability, and at present are doing exceptionally well in all fields. Best of luck to jo and anyone who has whippets. :luck:
