WWWA : Western Washington Whippet Association

Our small but tireless performance committee once again hosted successful ASFA trials over the weekend of April 11/12.  Several factors, including the AWC National in Atlanta, as well as several competing local events, kept entries lower than average in quantity, but not in quality! The weather more or less cooperated, and it sure could have [...]

HotRod and I attended the race meet put on by WRAG in Goldendale April 11th and 12th, and did pretty well.  We didn’t have a huge number of dogs – but the competition could hardly have been tougher.  Out of 34 dogs on Saturday 12 were past meet winners, and on Sunday we had 10 [...]

Last weekend at (brrr) Timberland, Brandi (Lost Creek Bzantium Metaxa) got her first point!  I have included a cute photo of her, taken from ringside by my sister. Also, not my brag but of note, the lovely “Shelby” (Starlaine N Jade ‘Tis The Season), a Truman daughter, finished her Championship. -submitted by Helen Brettell
