We've had a good year, although we were limited at what we did this year, due to having our litter.

All the best to everyone in 2007!! :luck: :thumbsup:

I have to say my biggest highlight of the year was going across to the States in April / May for the US Whippet National Specialty and watching literally HUNDREDS of whippet compete in every venue/sport/event possible and especially watching Bo Bengtston judge the main conformation classes.

I got to meet (and stay with) people face to face, I have been friends with online for YEARS. I got to meet their whippets in person, and cuddle, snuggle, get slurped by, rounded up by and sleep with a lot of those whippets! I spent almost a week in Maryland before the National - stayed at the host hotel during the National. Saw my first real Lure Coursing event, then travelled to Kentucky with another longterm whippet friend (Patience - who makes the dogwalkers collars/leads and whippet panties) and finally met her whole Whippet Waggle. I could just go on and on about that trip. AND I even got to co-judge a whippet match with Pauline Oliver (Spyanfly) and Griff from on here!

With regard to the girlies and showing - I think Teya getting 2 firsts at Bath (yearling and grad) was definitely the highlight of my summer. Our local Canine Club has a special points contest for placements in Companion / Open / or Championship shows and Teya got 4th place for highest points scored for Ch Show placings which was a really pleasant surprise last week when the points were tallied and the awards given.

Oh and my first time showing my own dogs at Crufts (the previous year I handled for another whippet owner)! AND the experience of doing Discover Dogs the following day and watching my girls help a young one overcome her phobia of dogs... That made me so PROUD.

And last but not least, my wonderful Chelsea Bear who got us started in whippets turned NINE this year. I can't believe where the time went.

Thanks Jo for a great fun subject.

My highlight was definitely getting a new whippet puppy in August. I have dreamed of a new whippet for years and I finally got it from Scotland! She is adorable personality and now at 1 year she looks very promising. :wub: Her best result in shows was Best of Breed Puppy in Hämeenlinna, Finland.

My other whippets have retired, but had success with dachshunds in show rings.

Good luck to the New Year to all K9'ers! :luck:
