WWWA : Western Washington Whippet Association

A much more tolerable day than the day before – we actually had dry weather for a good portion of the day.  I think it was just trying to hint at us to give it up for the winter and put away the gear until next spring. A very smooth running day saw us finished [...]

We nearly floated away, but somehow we pulled off a meet.
It was a quick day, and the rain stopped just as we were finishing racing and starting to eat.
Thanks to those that attended, everyone was in good spirits which makes miserable weather much more tolerable.
Congratulations to Aztec who finished his RCh!

Following a definite trend in 2009, once again, we were absolutely blessed by the weather gods for our fall ASFA trials. While Saturday was a little colder and cloudier than originally forecast, other than a brief shower in the morning, the weather stayed dry. Sunday dawned crisp and clear, with blue skies and frost, but [...]

For our second day of the race weekend, we had a repeat performance from the weather gods – absolutely beautiful. Again, a great group of people with a nice sized entry. Thanks to all who were there, pitched in and participated. It was another great day, with some really exciting races. There was no predicting [...]

We had beautiful conditions for racing, and great company. We managed to fit in quite a few practices between programs, and had a great time. Thanks to all who attended, and participated. “All Hands on Deck” was the theme for the day, and it worked out great. Thanks for all of the help.
Congratulations to Danny [...]

I’m sure everyone is wondering why the specialty results have not yet been posted on the website, so I thought I would at least post a quick update. I have been waiting to receive the judges’ critiques, and as soon as I get them I will post complete results and photos of the winners.
