CHAPARRAL RAISA
RAISIN ends 1990 with 4 points, including a major, and 6 Reserves, all from the Bred-by-Exhibitor class. This beautiful girl excels in movement. She is also a fast and enthusiastic courser, and has ASFA points from her first weekend of trials. RAISIN is busy learning Novice work, and looks forward to her Obedience debut at the AWC National in St. Louis .

SOLO is my foundation bitch, and the mother of the other 3 girls pictured. CORY is from her first litter by BIS Ch.Shilo's Houdini V Hasue, FCh., and RAISIN and BENA are by Ch. Rafina Ace In The Hole, CD, FCh. (a Ch. Delacreme de Ia Renta son).
CHAPARRAL BENAZIR
BENA is currently visiting in New Jersey, with my friend Deb Zygula. This extremely elegant, feminine girl has picked up 5 points, pIus 2 Reserves. BENA will make her coursing debut in 1991.
CH. CHAPARRAL CORAZON, CD, FCH, TT
CORY picked up several BB wins and a Group placement in 1990. She will be specialed lightly in 1991, while she concentrates more on earning her CDX, and that last 1st placement for her LCM. CORY will be bred next year.
CORY is co-owned by my sister, Louanne.
SOLO's second litter was co-bred by Jerry & Mary Jo Bish, Timoria. TIMORIA'S ERICA THE RED has 3 points, and several Reserves in Canada, and will be shown in the U.S. in 1991. The final bitch from this litter, EMILY, has yet to be shown.
The only male in this litter, CHAPARRAL MIKHAIL, was tragically lost at a very young age. His sisters dedicate their wins in 1991 to their brother, Mickey.

WICKWIRE MAGIC MAN whelped 1-24-90 Multi-talented Teddy began BOB and Group match wins at nine weeks and won the “Puppy Run” at the Allegheny Derby at the tender age of four months. First time out, he won his Sweeps class at the Midwest Specialty and has picked up five points in limited showing. He loves to show ALMOST as much as he loves chasing that “bunny”. |
WICKWIRE Littermate Ember has been right behind big brother Teddy, going BOS at the Matches and placed second in her large Sweeps class at the Midwest. She's very agile and keen on the lure and likes to show just enough to get two points so far. We're looking forward to lots of fun with these two promising puppies. |

PATTY has been enjoying the couch for most of this year following an injury sustained while lure coursing. Unfortunately, the wheel got the best of Patty's heart, but we're thankful that she's fully recuperated. She's raring and ready to finish soon and has matured into quite a lovely lady.
P.S... If Field Championships could be proven in the park chasing squirrels, I'm quite sure Patty would have her F.Ch.

Ozzie, our Scandinavian import, is seen at eight years of age winning the highly competitive Stud Dog class at the AWC Midwest Specialty under judqe Mrs. Lorraine Groshans (Loral). With him are his two young sons, Whippoorwill Night and Day (RWD Eastern AWC weekend) and Whippoorwill Red Hot an Cole (9 points, 1 major).
Ozzie has only sired three litters, but has champions in the first two litters and the above boys in his third. Ozzie is shown, co-owned and loved by Juanita Irvin. He is at stud to approved bitches.
(Ch. Whippoorwil Overture x Ch. Surrey Hill's Silver City)
Liberty is seen winning ANOTHER HOUND GROUP FIRST at Rock Creek KG under judge Mr. Alfred E. Treen. Shortly afterwards she was Group 2nd at Mattaponi KC under Mrs. Lesley Hiltz. In very infrequent specialling, Liberty has established herself as a major contender for top honors in both the Breed and the Group.
Her sire Overture is at stud to approved bitches at Whippoorwill, as is her grandsire, Ch. Hardknott Maestro of Bohem (sire of over 30 champions).

1990...
was an interesting year: the highs were very high and the lows very low.
Concentrating on the former, both John Richardson's Ch. BOHEM DELACREME DEMOISELLE and Betty Smith's Ch. BOHEM MOONSHINE LULLABY won all-breeds Best in Show. The latter also won the AWC Eastern specialty, and her dam, Ch. WHIPPOORWILL BOHEM ARIA, made a comeback after a year's absence by going BIS at the Southern California Whippet Association specialty - her only 1990 show.
In addition, Ch. BOHEM I HEAR SINGING finished with a Breed from the classes over specials, as did her sister Ch. BOHEM WHIPPOORWILL NO STRINGS (AWC Midwest 1989 Best in Sweepstakes).
We're also proud of Tina Nachtrieb and BOHEM MOON AT NIGHT, who was pointed as a puppy, broke both front legs in an accident and has come back with a great deal of success in both the coursing field and obedience ring.
Show wins are nice, but even nicer are the comments from your peers: our 1990 favorite came from a big-time Westminster BIS alirounder judge, who came up at a show, poked me in the chest and said, “I've been watching you, fella - you really do some good breeding ..
Best of all, we've bred some really nice puppies: Aria's last litter was sired by Ch. Sporting Fields Strider. We have kept our white “Angel”, BOHEM LA BOHEME, who will be shown in 1991.
Now we're looking forward to breeding a litter out of “Gidget” (I Hear Singing) during 1991. Inquiries invited.

WILD, WILD WHIPPETS
by Raya Waldron
(age 11)
Whippets are very uncommon dogs. The Whippet is a crossbreed between the Greyhound, the Italian Greyhound, and Terrier. The Whippet is a gazehound which is a hound that hunts by sight instead of smell. The Whippet was developed in England over 300 years ago.
Like any other dog, the female Whippet can give birth after nine weeks of pregnancy. She can have 1-12 puppies. Puppies feed on mothers milk. Puppies eyes and ears are sealed shut until 13-15 days after birth. At 4 weeks old the puppies can bark, growl, howl, and yelp. The mother nurses until 6 weeks old. They can grow from 8 months to 2 years. The average life span is 12 to 15 years. The Whippet gives the appearance of elegance and health. They have great power, strength and balance. They have long lean heads and arched muscular backs. They also have skinny legs and long tapering tails. The nose or “muzzle” on a Whippet is long but very powerful in “bite.” Their ears are small and fine in texture. They are also wide apart and thrown back and folded.
Whippets can be many different colors; for example black, red, white, fawn. One of the most common colors for a Whippet is brindle. The standard Whippet stand 17 1/2 to 22 1/2 inches high. They can weigh 18 to 40 pounds.
The Whippets' eating habits are the same as any other dog. But there is a difference in their digestive system. Their digestive system moves a lot faster so Whippets don't contain much fat. They need lots of exercise so that they can stay healthy.
The Whippet is a multi-purpose dog, for example they can be a family dog, a race dog [coursing dog], and a show dog. Before Whippet racing, a Whippet's hobby was coursing hounds; their nickname was “rat killers.” In 1891 they officially started dog racing.
Whippet racing is when 2 [or more] dogs compete their ability to run. When racing they must use an official dog racing box. The box has 5 to 6 openings in the front. Boxing a dog is a real challenge because they can be claustrophobic, or scared of the dark. It is a lot easier if the dog has a collar on. It is hard for the dog if he/she is in the box too long because they wear themselves out waiting. There two foul judges and six finish line judges. The judges must be alert because each race doesn't last long. There four grade levels in Whippet racing. All dogs start at level D (the bottom), even first time entered puppies have to start there. After D comes C and then B. The A dogs are the fastest dogs in Whippet racing. When they are running on the “flat track” or the straight away track. The first time entered puppies run 150 yards and the adults run 200 yards, four times each. The oval track can be from 220 yards to 440 yards long, puppies can not run the oval track because of distance. In the grading scale the dogs can earn points. The dogs can earn points both for titles and nationally. A title explains what race tracks the dog has mastered. Here is a title for example, Rajas Ransom Of Kentfield ORC, ARM, FCH. This dog has mastered the oval track, the straight away, and lure coursing.
There are rules to Whippet racing, here are several of them: no blue or china colored eyes, their eyes must be the same color, they must not be over 22 1/2 inches high, and the female must not be in season. Lurchers (a cross breed between a Whippet and a Greyhound) cannot run legally in Whippet racing. They also must be able to run without turning their head or playing with another dog on the track.
The Whippet is the fastest dog in their weight capability; they can run up to 35 miles per hour. The female is faster than the male (in some cases). The Whippet is a true sporting hound.
The Whippets personality is relaxed and calm at home. They are very quiet and dignified. Their intelligence can compare with the Terrier (when treated like a family member). This concludes the report on Wild, Wild Whippet.

*Ties broken by dogs highest individual HIS score.
In this world of canine specialists, Jackie has once again proven her versatility. She finished her CDX five days before her 12th birthday, a most unusual happening in any breed. As with her TD last year, I believe Jackie to be the first American whippet to earn an ARM and a CDX. Her seven American titles, so far, may also be a record for the breed. Agility and scent hurdles are in her future, too. Jackie was bred by Randall Robbins and S.R. Blackstone.
Clulan Jandall's High Noon, CD (high in trial at the 1987 AWC National Jackie's daughter sired by Epinard's Sandusky, CD, ARM) passed her Canine Good Citizen test and earned her first qualifying score in agility work. Sox is now getting ready for her CDX. Littersister Clulan Jandall's Now Voyager, TT, CGC refuses to accept her blindness as a handicap. Babs is a fine ambassador for the breed and, by being out in public so much, has made many people aware of inherited eye problems in purebred dogs. Babs and I participated in a number of walking events in 1990, including the seven-mile Lion's Journey for Sight and eight-mile Ice Age Trail hike. She loves being a spectator at shows and training classes.
My article about Babs in the 1989 Whippet Annual has received many compliments. “Your Dog Has Glaucoma. It Could Be Inherited” has been reprinted by several local and regional dog clubs in their newsletters. I would be happy to send copies to anyone who is interested, not just whippet owners. Please support eye-exam clinics!

MY GIFT TO JESUS
by Jane L. Sears
I wish someone had given little Jesus a dog as loyal and loving as mine
to sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes
and adore Him for being divine.
As Our Lord grew to manhood, His own faithful dog
would have followed Him all through the day
while He preached to the crowds and made the sick well
and knelt in the Garden to pray.
It is sad to remember that Christ went away
to face death alone and apart,
with no tender dog following close behind
to comfort its Master's heart.
And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn,
how happy He would have been
as His dog kissed His hand and barked its delight
for the One who died for all men!
Well, the Lord has a dog now: I just sent Him mine,
the old pal so dear to me.
And I smile through my tears on this first day alone,
knowing they're in eternity.
Henry, you will always be missed!
