Figg (Brystal Mists of the Deep) finished her conformation championship, the first for my kennel (Brystal Whippets) with a 4 point win in Albany this February.  She won one out of four times she got in the ring, pretty good for a petite blue girl. Big kudos and thanks to Jeff and Judy who campaigned...

On August 28, 2011 our O’Brady and OB, delivered their litter of “The Brady Bunch” to us in grand form.  We were gifted with 12 little whippets with one boy that didn’t make the exit, so at 11 puppies the family is adjusting to the crowd.   7 boys, 4 girls, all are doing fine. They are registered as:...

Last week Laurel, Don and I decide to go to a Dock Dog practice a co-worker had invited us to.  Cochiti (Farseer Cochiti ORC Fch SRM2) and Chili (Farseer Jammin Ghost Chili) really seemed to like the water and took to fetching the toy from the pool. One of the instructors suggested that I enter...

Glen and I are so proud of Shadow Run Johnny Be Good.  At WRAG’s first 350 yard oval (that was pre approved in 2007) and 4 program and an entry of over 20 whippets, Johnny earned his final 1/2 point by winning the bottom points and that coveted title of ORC. While Shadow Run Marco ORC, won...

WE DID IT!!!  At least Marco did it.  He finished in the NOTRA  TOP TEN for 2010. It was a lot of work, conditioning and travel, but out of all those competitors in the USA our Marco earns not only his ORC Title but that coveted Top Ten status.  We are so proud of him....

Glen and I  want to  brag about two of our Nacho sons that have been in the NOTRA TOP TEN for the 2010 season:  Marco and Kelp. We are in the middle of a lot of  extremely fast tan dogs, but our whippets are holding their own.   Keep your fingers crossed since there is one more NOTRA that could knock...
