(SBIS Ch. Chelsea Drakkar of Oxford, FCh x Ch. Wistwind's Twinkle, LCM, CanFCh) Still searching for that elusive I point, Rosebud RAN through '95 and completed her Canadian FCh and her LCM. She topped off the year in December by going BOB for 40 points in PA. During the Ontario Sighthound Association in Canada this summer, Rosebud was WB and BOW at the Hamilton Kennel Club Booster show under Lloyd Allewell for 5 points. We hope '96 is just as successful for her!
Special thanks to Juanita Irwin for her handling and TLC
Nicole won her AKC Field Championship with three impressive majors of five, five, and four points. She had previously achieved her ASFA Field title in only five trials with two firsts and three first-place ties (which she had to forfeit due to injuries). She has great speed, enthusiasm, and agility; unfortunately, her intelligence has led her to the conclusion that the object of the game is to catch, rather than pursue, the bunny, which she now consistently tries to ambush. So much for "follow"! This sweet-natured, eager-to-please bitch is now deep into Agility training and hopes to be competing for her AD title this year. JUSTUS WHIPPETS

(Ch. Broadstrider Georgeous George x Ch. Paris Princess) 1995 was an excellent year! Seven more Paris Whippets finished their breed championships, four more became AKC Dual Champions. Ch. Paris Winter Weather went Best (n Show his first weekend in Russia, at the Moscow Dog Show over 4,000 entries. Ch. Paris Panther gained his sixth championship title in Europe, and was Best of Breed over 70 entries at the pretigious Longchamps-Paris show under whippet expert Robert Stock, Courthill Whippets. Paris Plainsman began his career with a major and a Best of Breed win over many specials, and Paris Beatrix began her career going Best in Sweeps in Boston, under breeder Claire Newcombe, Pennyworth Whippets. We applaud the accomplishements of many good friends: Leila Downen and her Diablesse Whippets; Joe Franchi and his new litter of Franaro Whippets; Gretchen Vanderford upon finishing the outstanding Ch. Paris Play With Fire; Julia Lobova and Vadim Retzsov for winning the Group with Paris Plenty of Money; Jenny McCartney for her major wins in Canada with Dual Ch. Paris Diablesse Quinn. And so many more. Our triumphs outnumbered our disappointments, and so we look forward to 1996 with anticipation and a sense of impending excitement! Onwards! Paris WhippetsSharon R.
