Yes, "Chinna" (C'Tawwa) is very, very nice too and I actually kindly enough was able to borrow her to Sweden for a litter, so at home I have Play A While Mymlan that had a litter by Ch Adagio Ta Moko earlier this year. The litter resulted in a litter of three bitches and I have kept a blue fawn named Play A While Lady Orlando.

I've been following this thread with great interest but in fact all that time I've been thinking which is the best whippet for me... :ermm: and in fact I think it is really impossible to say!!!

In fact some excells in some parts (head or movement or what so ever) so maybe to have the perfect whippet we just have to mix all those qualities :wacko: :lol:

So those who impressed me are...

Ch Birkonbrae Everlastin' Love so full of quality, feminity and charisma

Ch Cobyco Call The tune,so close to perfection, if you allow me to be critical I would just have preffered a more "glamorous" head :b but no dog is perfect not even Deedee

Ch Barnesmore Black Orchid, unfortunatly I never saw her in flesh but when I first saw this pic my reaction was "WOW!"

Multi Ch Jake du Manoir de la Grenouillère mostly for his IMO perfect movement so easy, long and effortless. Jake became the sire of my very 1st litter which produced my black Multi Ch Malcolm X and is behind all my dogs. His dam Multi Ch Enza who is also the dam of Joli Mec inspired me a lot too.

Ch Softouch Peppar Peppar, just the style I like :wub:

Another one I never saw in flesh but really like on pictures:

USA Ch. Plumcreek Come Fly With me

Finally thanks for mentionning my dear Mojo we are VERY flattered :b

Oooooh Henrik .... how could I have forgotten ..... Buddha! She's another one of my loves.

Please post your favourite pic of her! (I don't actually have one saved on my computer).

Yes it would be easier to find perfect shoulder, topline or head. Maybe we should start a new topic? Perfect parts.

 

[Karen]

Such an interesting topic bringing back memories of old favorites, perhaps it should have been top ten (w00t)

 

[whippetmad]

i think the list could go on forever,there are so many beautiful whippets :wub: :wub:

but at the end of the day every whippet is beautiful whether its a show one or not,but there are some outstanding ones you could die for :wub: :wub:

a good topic :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[Yannods]

This is such an interesting - and entertaining - topic

Of those dogs I've seen in flesh, these two has impressed me most:

Int Ch Play a While at Peperone "Kim"

and his daughter Int Ch Kipin Kapin Autumn Sonata "Penni"

Just in this one post alone, some of the truly most beautiful whippets :wub: :wub:

 

[zilloot]

I would pick; for a girl Ch Silkstone Jewel in the Crown

and for a dog, and this is going back a bit... Ch Novacroft Madrigal

 

[Claire]

Its a shame that photos dont show movement ! I chose a bitch that I have seen in the flesh ( Ch & Ir Ch Mithrander panning for Gold) so I know exactly how she looked and moved. I am still thinking about a dog, not sure just yet , it is difficult to chose just one (without being completly biased).

 

[sheol]

well i have to say if picking using breed standard their is one bitch that stands out ch.Mithirander panning for gold.super mover, correct size,lovely dark eye and expression quality through and through.as she entered a ring you couldn't take your eyes off her. sadly she never produced a litter to pass on her qualities. sheol

 

[Claire]

Hello You!!

Glad to see you here :cheers:

She was indeed a lovely typey small bitch. I watched her win her first CC. But you are wrong that she did not have a litter. In fact she had a litter in 1996 out of Dumbriton Born to Run. I have a record of at least one male born in a litter on 13 November 1996, registered as Mithrandir Moonlighter. And I met -- and was photographed -- with a male out of her owned by a Welsh woman when I was holidaying for a week in Torquay in 1998 prior to going up to the World Whippet Congress. This is me -- slightly slimmer than now -- at the beach at Paignton with the pup in question.

I am not sure how big the litter was or where it went, but they were out there!

I hate to be nitpicking, but the (UK) standard states nothing about eye colour.

Quite correct and I notice this week in a Ch show critique from a non-breed specialist saying (and I am not quoting verbatim) on a particular dog that a darker eye would have been preferable. I do wish these people who insist on judging our breed would at least have the courtesy to read the standard the night before.

:- " :- " I know which one it was :- "

it bugs me too :rant: :rant:

Hi guys! I'm completely with you on the breed standard and coat and eye colour being immaterial. We breed that way because it is,after all, an English breed, and it infuriates us here in Canada to have a renowned American judge come up from the US and tell us as happened a few years ago with an Eng.Ch. bitch whom she obviously did not know (how or why should she have?) tthat she was positively lovely and outmoved everything in the ring, but she could not be put up because of her eye colour!

When the show was over and I had positively nothing to lose I asked this judge why eye colour was important and she said, well it is in the standard. No I said, it is not in the Canadian standard, or any standard in the world except the American standard, and it should not be there either because I reminded her, this was an English, not an American breed, and neither the English, nor the Canadian standard, nor the FCI standard specified a dark eye.

She patronizingly commented that ours was a lovely bitch and she was sure she would eventually finish her championship despite her lighter eyes, but hers was a preference for a dark eye and so she put up a bitch that pleased her eye (who incidentally four years later is still not a champion despite having been sent out with four professional handlers! I love it when I am SO right!)

And then she asked casually how our bitch was doing. When I said that she was already an Eng.Ch. and had won BOB and group placements in her first two Canadian shows and had she put her up she would have become a Canadian champion as well I swear I could see her shrink into the ground.

Of course our lovely Ceely finished in her next show with a judge who judged to the standard. Eng.& Cdn.Ch. Nevedith Ceefa Ceely has had two litters since that time and her pups have had a mix of eye colours from eye appropriate to coat colour to eyes like pitch. Which just goes to show you how stupid a requirement for a "dark" eye is.

All this to say that I think you may have actually misread, or read more into the comment of the writer who mentioned the dark eye. I don't think the writer was saying it was desireable, or in keeping with the standard, as I am pretty sure the Irish and English standards are compatible. I think s(he) was only commenting that the bitch was lovely in many respects... and as a feature noted she had a very dark eye, which, having seen her, I would have said also if someone asked me to describe her.

All this hat and guess I read this more casually than the last two of you because I only red
