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 to Jaytea/Chesara on litter

Yesterday Chesara Jaytea Chimney Swift whelped a beautiful litter of 10, 4 girls and 6 boys, in varying colors and markings. Sire is my Sel. CH Fleetwood Return To Sendr. Will have some photos to post soon. In the meantime you can contact Jaytea Whippets in Maryland at jayteawhpt@yahoo.com for a pedigree and more information. Way to go Sunny!

Merlin New Champion

What an exciting weekend at the Mid Atlantic Hound Club shows. My Merlin finished his Championship going WD and BOW for a major. As always Merlin was show by me. He is now CH Sowagla Appraxin Makin' Magic. Just as exciting, my Faith, Sporting Fields What Ever was WB for a major as well. I have been waiting to show Faith and now it looks like she is ready!
To top off the day, a litter I have co-bred with Ute Soles and Calvin Perry was born. 5 girls and 2 boys. Sire is CH Fleetwood Return To Sendr, dam is Appraxin Sowagla Hearts Desire. They are beautiful babies with a variety of markings. Watch here for updates.

Dog show news...

From Steve and Lisa with Milo. He won 9-12, winners dog, best of winners and best opposite sex!!!!! today in Delaware at what I think is his first show. And best of all, Milo enjoyed himself and was wagging his tail the whole time on the table. Congrats to Lisa, Steve and Milo. Here is a recent photo of Milo relaxing at home with his new buddy Sloan.

Milo was bred by myself and Phoebe Booth and is from the Myles x Buffy litter.

Sloan was bred by me also with Debbie Butt and is from the Myles x Faith litter.

Leaving the nest

All the babies have gone to their new homes now except one. Charm is still here with me but even she will be leaving soon for her new home in Florida. She is exceptionally bright and her name Charm fits her well as she is certainly charming. She will be going to Ann Meyer and co-owned by myself and co-breeder Debbie Butt. Looks like she will be headed to the show ring.

Here she is being her cute self and hanging out with a rubber chicken.

Jake, Sel. Ch Fleetwood Return To Sendr has been a busy boy lately with lots of girlfriends. I will keep you posted but so far it looks like Mira, or Appraxin Sowagla Hearts Desire is definitely PG. We are awaiting the news on several other girls. If you want info on upcoming Jake pups, just drop me an email.

Baby photos

I am much remiss for not posting photos of the babies before now, but they change so much every day, it is hard to keep up. They are toddling, playing sorta, their eyes are open of course and they have tiny little teeth. They are very aware of me now when I check up on them, sitting and looking right at my face as if to say, whoh, there's that big lady again! They are also enjoying being held, but not for long, and like for me to sit in the ex-pen with them so they can investigate me thoroughly. Today they decided to munch on mommas food so even though they are not quite 4 weeks, I will be starting them on soaked puppy food.

Hope you enjoy the photos.
