Hi Jax,I told you the Droopy's Merson litter would be something a bit special, wouldnt be suprised if 1 didnt win something major in the next year or so.

If they do go NGRC you'll have to give us the names so we can watch out for them.

My mates got a litter down by Hondo Black x Fogonthetyne, Hondo Blacks first crop are just hitting the track and are already winning on NGRC.

he could be a big stud dog in the future once a few more of his pups hit the track.

Right now we have the dilema, the greyhound is called Aggie, so i said you cant just have an aggie you have to have KIM & AGGIE, and as none of our dogs are called KIM, we might have to get another, Mark said she will just have to live with being on her own but i dont think thats fair, i think a nice rough coated Beddy/whippet called KIM would be much better. :- "

We have just come back from visiting a very well known, and respected whippet breeder who has loaned us many pedigrees from way back; even before when Noah was still hitting his thumb.

 

 

Amongst these we found a pedigree and a press cutting for a 1910ish Irish whippet called Rarie. It appears this whippet had quite an interesting life and became valuable as a stud in Ireland. He sired many litters of multi-tasking whippets and is even listed in the Irish KC Stud Book as Ch sire for 1912.

 

 

Unfortunately in 1914 he was stolen and his owners told to pay a ransom with the warning that if the ransom of £20, which was an awful lot of money in 1914, was not paid he would be killed by being tipped from a high cliff, out of a lorry, and his body left to be claimed by the sea..

 

 

Luckily the owners paid the ransom and claimed the dog back and he continued to sire many racing, coursing, showing Champions – you will find his name in many Irish litters if you look far enough back.

 

 

 

 

The news became national in Ireland and the cutting, from the Irish News, shows a picture of the whippet and the cliff he had been almost thrown over.
