Those who judged three AWC specialties up to 1987 were the late Mr. W.S. Schmick ( Caledonia) and the previously mentioned Mrs. Christine Cormany (Strathoak). Two-time AWC judges during the same period were the following: Mr. A.E. Stone in the 1930s, Mr. J.F. Farrell (Foxden) before 1961, Miss F.J. Shearer (Meander), William Brainard (Downsbragh Greyhounds), Marian Woodcock (Suntan), the late all-rounder Percy Roberts, Ann Gallup Marsh (Gallways), Anne Rogers Clark (Rimskittle, best known for Poodles but also breeder of Whippets), Isabell Stoffers (Runner’s), Gayle Bontecou (Gaylewards Scottish Deerhounds), John Shelton (Sheridan), Larry T. Shaw (Kirklea), Bo Bengtson (Bohem), Carol Willumsen (Willcare), and Betty Stites (Hullabaloo). This takes into account only assignments which included Best of Breed judging — and of course many of the above have judged additional AWC specialties since 1987.

Top exhibitor at the specialties for the time period covered here was the old Meander kennels: the Shearer sisters took home nine AWC Breed wins between 1931 and 1959 - a tenth if you count Meander Liat O’Lazeland, who was owned by Donald Hostetter. The Pennyworth and Stoney Meadows establishments have impressive records also: Mrs. Newcombe won six AWC specialties with four different dogs, and Mrs. Wear took five AWC specialties with four dogs (and three more carry her prefix, but were owned by other exhibitors). Several other kennels had three or four wins.

The outstanding individual winners up through 1987 were three Whippets which won four AWC specialties each - an amazing record by any standard. The first was the bitch Ch. Eyleland Winter Wind between 1961 and 1963; the second was Ch. Gold- Dust’s Twenty Four Karat who achieved the same record in the even more competitive period during 1976-1977; and the third was Ch. OBailee’s Brittania who set a new record for Whippet males by winning four times between 1983 and 1986. Three other Whippets won three times each: Ch. Pennyworth Mother Goose in the late 1960s, Ch. Winterfold’s Bold Bid between 1969 and 1972, and the all-time top sire Ch. Misty Moor’s Chalmondoley in 1974 and 1975.

Two-time AWC winners: Ch. Nimbus of Meander (1930s), Ch. Salvage of Meander (1940s), Ch. Stoney Meadows Masquerade, Ch. Garden City’s Sleepy Mouse, Ch. Meander Bob White and Ch. Great Circle Holiday - all in the 1950s - Ch. Madcap Syndicated News in the 1960s; Ch. Pathen’s Sasha of Carob and Ch. Mare’s Head Royal Blu Princess in the 1970s; while the amazing Ch. Hollypark Honey Bee won her first AWC specialty as a youngster in 1969 and then repeated that win as a veteran ten years later, in 1979! The all-time top winning Whippet in BIS and Group competition, Ch. Sporting Fields Clansman, did almost the same thing, winning his first AWC specialty in 1978 and then coming back as a veteran to win again in 1984 (and looked wonderful still at the 1987 National Specialty, where he won the Veterans class at almost 12 years of age). Finally, 1987 saw a young bitch win two AWC specialties in one year, Ch. Allerei’s Ain’t Misbehavin.

As far as I can make out, the Best of Breed award has gone to a non-champion from the classes at least 15 times - more than once in every ten shows. Quite frequently the Winners Dog or Bitch have come from the puppy classes, but I can find only one occasion when a puppy went all the way to Specialty BOB - Stoney Meadows Hells Bells under Peggy Newcombe in 1962. Wins from the veterans classes have occurred a little more frequently: apart from the two mentioned above, Ch. Wilpat’s Tafa of Excalibur won as a veteran under Norman Ellis in the Midwest 1972, and so did Ch. Plumcreek Chimney Swift when he won the record-breaking Midwest specialty in 1985.

A lot of other deductions can no doubt be made from the specialty results, but I’ll leave those to someone else. Finally a word about Sweepstakes: I have not managed to find out when they were first held, since Sweepstakes classes are unofficial and therefore not recorded by the AKC. They have been included in the 1987 details and will be part of the annual reports for coming years as well.

The above includes only shows up through 1986; an update of the later shows will appear in next year’s AWC Whippet News Annual.

There were as yet no AWC specialty shows on the west coast in 1932 when Ch. Fidgety Feet was winning; he was BOB at Long Beach and BOS at Santa Barbara. Owned by Mr. & Mrs. Wm. H. Woodcock.

This picture of the Specials class was taken at the AWC specialty held on September 8th, 1956, on the grounds of the Somerset Hills KC all-breed show in Far Hills, NJ. I can identify only some of the people, not all. Starting from left to right, I think the lady at the head of the line is Mrs. Theodore Pederson with the then-famous Ch. Garden City Sleepy Mouse (I say “then famous” because the bitch either never had puppies, or if she did, they all died or came to nothing, so this bitch does not show in any pedigrees today). I think the fourth lady bending over the dog and looking up at the camera is Mrs. George Anderson of the then-famous Mardormer kennels (again I say “then famous” because she kept a closed kennel and would neither sell her dogs nor accept any outside bitches for breeding). Following down the line, the lady in sixth position standing in the white kennel coat is Judith Shearer. I think the whippet (whose sex is not apparent) must be Ch. Meander Bob White. I think it is I bending over the black bitch next to Judith and the bitch would be Ch. Stoney Meadows Fairy Tale. The gentleman standing behind me is the judge, Mr. Ross Procter. The next person could be Peggy Newcombe and next to her is Barbara Eyles with Ch. Stoney Meadows Bedtime Story, who was the foundation of the Eyleland kennels. Immediately behind her is the man I believe to be Harry Murphy showing another Mardormer bitch and the last two people I can not identify.
