Congratulations to Lisa on achieving Electra's new title today. Whilst she has many nicknames, she is now officially known as:

SBIS, BIS, AUSTRALIAN GRAND CHAMPION, AMERICAN CHAMPION, RIDGESETTER FLY THE FLAG, ET, SC

Yes, she has recently turned 8 years of age, but she has whelped 4 healthy litters, 10 champions so far, spent 18 months in the USA, and she has spent some time recuperating from the odd battle with kangaroos. She's produced I think it is 13 male puppies in her 4 litters, all entire and she is BAER and CERF tested clear as well. Electra is the foundation for Isilwane Whippets and Lisa's constant companion (except for her odd hunting pursuits! :angry: ).

Love her or hate her, it's still a bloody good achievement and especially for a bitch.

Now my husband will nag me again about how I shoud have kept her and not given her to Lisa all those years ago. Seriously, it's every breeders wish that when they let a puppy go to a show home, that the dog will live up to those early expectations but this can never happen unless the dog is loved, trained and maintained properly. Well done Lisa.

Cheers

I'd be just as stoked if I had bred a bitch which found major success in another kennel.

I first saw her at the whippet specialty here in vic when unto judged. She has the most stunning sound movement. Gorgeous bitch and a credit to you and Lisa. I also adore her son, nugget, but Lisa already knows that

I believe Charlie would also have got his Grandie last weekend but Lisa had a junior handler on him and he jumped up at the table too early and banged his stifle. As he was sore and not weight bearing, Lisa withdrew him, but he was moving fine on it in the afternoon.

Not sure what is better - dogs that jump up on the table or me having to bend and lift them up and down. Getting down is alright but getting back up again can sometimes be difficult!

Ah, Electra: at last, at last. Well done dear girl, no-one deserves it more. Many congratulations to Toni & Lisa but most of all, to you. You are an AMAZON of a bitch & not done yet, I'll bet.

Love from your number one fan behind Lisa & Toni. xxx.

Watched it happen from ringside.. he appeared to have been checked by the lead and hit the table with his chest to fall awkwardly off it. It was quite sickening to see.

God bless him, he rallied to give my friend's daughter, handling him for the first time, a third in Junior Handlers at lunchtime. Watching the youngster practice with him you cannot fail to notice what a kind and honest dog he is. Young Megan was thrilled to bits - thanks Lisa for loaning him. :flowers:

He's a great ambassador for the breed.

Dear Miss Wicked Whippet Electra,

I'm very sorry but I have had an Alzheimer's moment... I thought I had replied to congratulate you but reading through just now it is obvious I had not!

So belated though it is - CONGRATULATIONS! What a wonderful whippie you are!

Congrats also to your team at Isilwane and Ridgesetter.
