What's happening at Sowagla Whippets

Lots! First, I have no pups available at this time but have a litter due just before Christmas. Dam is CH Sporting Fields What Ever and sire is Can CH Sporting Fields Spot On of Albelarm. My beautiful girl Tyme, Sporting Fields Tyme to fly had a litter of one! Sire is Ch Sowagla Quick Silver to Taejaan and puppy girl is brindle and white parti color. I am thinking of the name Autumn Wind because it was blowing like crazy the day she was born.

New work has been done on my property..... had a big concrete slab laid for my kennel pens. Will have to post a photo when it is all done. I haven't put up the runs yet. The dogs go out in the runs when the weather is nice only. We have had a very warm fall but it is starting to get cold now, well I guess that is OK since it is Dec. 1.

I do have an available for adoption whippet. Her name is Abby and I am looking for just the right home. More information on Abby is on my website http://www.sowaglawhippets.com/ on the Available page.

Show news: Had a good time at the Southern Specialty in Atlanta in October. Lots of ribbons and trophies and placements. Spent time with good friends and good dogs and just generally had fun. The star of the show for me and co-owner, co-breeder Calvin G. Perry was our red girl Sowagla Appraxin Patchouli. She was best opposite in sweepstakes at the MAWA specialty and then BEST In SWEEPSTAKES at the Southern Specialty. We are very proud of this beautiful girl.

WRAP or Whippet Rescue and Placement

Many of you may not know, but in addition to Sowagla Whippets, I am a long time (over 12 years) volunteer for Whippet Rescue and Placement or WRAP which is under the auspices of The American Whippet Club, of which I am also a member. There are usually not a lot of whippets in rescue, but when there are, we have volunteers all over the country to help out whippets in need. It has been a while since I have actually had a WRAP whippet at my home, over a year since I had 2 boys in here at once.

I now have a girl that I picked up on Friday and she is available for adoption. She is not up on the WRAP website yet http://www.whippet-rescue.com/ but will be soon. So I thought i would preview her here. I am ready to start taking applications on her adoption so if you think you might have a place for her in your home and in your heart, please fill out the adoption form on the WRAP website http://www.whippet-rescue.com/ and send it to me at canineart@windstream.net

Here is a little bit about Winni Marie....

She is not from a shelter nor was she a stray, she is an owner turn in. They can no longer keep her due to changing family circumstances. Winni Marie is a very attractive, 5 year old,black with white trim, spayed female whippet. Her coat is glossy and her eyes are huge and expressive. Winni is loving though slightly aloof with strangers when she first meets them. Winni must go to a home with another dog because she had some anxiety when her former owners firt got her and a second dog solved that problem. Winni is great in my house, gets along well with my other dogs and crates well when I leave. She loves to play and chase thrown objects in the yard. She comes with lots of accessories, collar, lead, toys, blankets, bed, dishes and coats. Winni's adoption fee is $300 which goes to WRAP to help other whippets in need.
