Jake kids doing great in the ring.....

Several youngsters sired by my Jake, Sel. Ch. Fleetwood Return To Sendr, are hitting the rings and doing well. This past weekend, Magic, owned by Todd Miller and bred by Sue Vernon, Todd and Barb Wayne, got his first point going WD, BOW & BOB. Dam of that litter was the beautiful Luna, Top 20 winner, CH Moongaze Jomyr Some Splainin Ta Do. A couple weekends ago at the Arizona Whippet Association specialties, littermate Kobe (Summit Above The Rim), shown in photo above, and owned by Sue Vernon did great. He got two major reserves from the puppy class and then WD & BOW as well as BOS and BBE for a 4 or 5 point major. He is racking up the points now. And in Florida, Ann Myers got first point on her Jake daughter, Sportingfield N Sowagla Maiden Dance, AKA Deirdre. Congrats to all!!!!

Congratulations to Lemmy!!

Lemmy is owned by Wendy Montroy in Jacksonville, FL. This beautiful blue brindle boy has gone to a couple shows and last week garnered his first point going Best of Winners. The weather was bad so Wendy didn't get a photo, but here is Lemmy (Sowagla Trace of Quicksilver) posing on his grooming table at home.

Faith gets a second major this past weekend

Under long time breeder judge Dr. John Shelton. It was at the Asheville Kennel Club on Sunday and a nice 4 pointer.

New Champion photo

Merlin's finishing photo, I am so proud of this sweet boy. And I think this photo turned out really well. Merlin was completely owner/breeder handled to his championship which makes it extra sweet.

Congrats Barb and Andre!

Congratulations are in order for Barb Timm and Andre. Andre is from the Myles/Buffy litter and is 7 months old. He went Winners Dog for 2 points on his first show weekend. I know this team is going to make me proud.

News Update

I have been super busy and not posting as much as I want to so here is a post to update readers on the doings (and mishaps) at Sowagla Whippets.

All my pups have gone to their new homes now, the last one delivered at the Southern Specialty in Atlanta. My keeper, Perdita, went along and had a good time, but now misses her sister Mimi. She is getting over it though, as I am giving her lots of attention.

In the show news, Koda got 2 more points on the Tarheel Circuit in Raleigh. Now she just needs 2 additional to complete her championship.

At the Southern Specialty in Atlanta, I show Robbie all 4 days of regular shows and the 2 sweepstakes. He was either 1st or 2nd place despite the fact he wanted to play, I was very proud of him. Merlin got a 4th in Open on one of the two days I showed him.

I also got to show a dog I co-bred, the Arthur son Oberon, Ch Dynia Sowagla Oberon. His owner Paige (who is also now owner of pup Mimi) had foot surgery and wasn't allowed to run yet. I showed him 3 days and at the Supported Entry on Friday, he got BOS to the beautiful Chanel, over some other nice male specials. We are very proud of him too!

Now for the mishap. After I got home, my young bitch Faith broke her right front leg. She was playing in the yard and I really don't know how it happened. Poor baby. It was a clean break so my vet was able to use a cast. I have added a photo of Faith in her cast too.
