WWWA : Western Washington Whippet Association

In spite of relatively few outings this past year, our brood made us very proud! Here are some of the highlights from 2008:
Our old man, Am. Can. Ch. Whimsy’s Speedwell (Toby) made a good showing in the veteran’s classes at the AWC National Specialty in Eugene and came home with a 2nd in his class. [...]

I feel a little redundant doing this because most of the world knows about the Big Win.  The highlight of my year, maybe my life, was winning Best of Opposite Sex with Marley at the AWC National Specialty.  That makes BOS at two National Specialties in two different countries, as he won that award at [...]

In 2008, Nouveau’s Ladies Man made his mom proud by winning the Northwest Versatility Weekend for a second year in a row.  I’m thankful Dapper enjoyed an injury free year on the field with his littermates and friends.  His best two-legged friend, Jade Swepston, was kind enough to stack him nicely for his photo.  Best wishes to everyone for [...]

What a strange year for me and my whippets.
Gracie’s health has declined, but even after numerous tests I don’t know exactly what is wrong with her.  An echo showed that her heart had not deteriorated as much as thought in the last four years, but she has no energy whatsoever.  She stopped playing in the [...]

2008 was a great year at Serendipity!
Tiercel (Serendipity Nighthawk, FCH, SR, OTRM, TRPX, CGC) had a great year on the race track, racking up 13 points towards his ARX and finishing the year needing just one point to finish that title. He earned points in BC, California, and, finally, in Pennsylvania the day after the [...]

This past year was fun for us at Treadway.
The National specialty in Eugene was a truly enjoyable event and Miranda and Shelby made their appearance.  Thanks to Linda Buchholz for presenting Shelby so beautifully.
We launched into the summer to complete Miranda’s Canadian Championship.  A few highlights along the way include back to back Best Puppy [...]

So to review 2008 for our family is quite the task.  But I will keep it as short as I can.
Our beloved Levi “Obailee’s Premiere” that we were so lucky to get from Stacey Davis and Tracy Hite turned 2 years old.  We thought we were ready to try our hand at lure coursing.  We [...]

The 2008 season has come to a close, and we here at Shadow Run want to wish all a very Happy and prosperous New Year.
This last year has been an exciting year for us, in the NOTRA arena. We started the year with 5 of our whippets competing against the best the United States [...]
