MEG, and our new little girl, FLING, are everything an owner can be proud of.
These two will be an important part of our future.
Thank you Betsy Prior and Lori Nelson for two very special girls.
Meg is major-pointed and will be bred in ‘92, inquiries welcome.
Also, at stud, our home-bred Ch. Sangaree's Moon Dancer (Pedigree Section, 1989 Annual).
“Lilly” has continued to be rarely shown but added to her record during 1991: in addition to All-Breeds & AWC Specialty BIS she has won numerous major Breeds, Specialty weekend BOS, and multiple Group placements. Always a favorite with “movement judges” and experienced hound specialists, she will continue to be seen in only the best company until bred this spring.
Above, Lilly is seen at the American Whippet Club Top Twenty tournament earlier in 1991 together with judges Mrs. Nenne Runsten, Mr. Robert Boswell and Mrs. Christine Hopperstad. It was an exciting experience with wonderful comments from judges and spectators alike.
Inquiries about Lilly's upcoming litter invited.

During the past eight years, at least a dozen Whippets entirely or partly owned, bred, shown and/or sold by Bohem have won major awards during American Whippet Club specialty weekends (including at least five AWC Specialty BIS and six AWC Specialty BOS).
This has been in spite of breeding less than a litter per year and very limited showing - but with much help from talented co-owners, puppy buyers, and others. Our thanks to them all!
The “kennel” currently consists of Aria (who will be nine years old this spring), her white daughter Bohem La Boheme (18 months) and look-alike granddaughter Bohem Of Thee I Sing (six months), whom we hope to show during 1992.
Special thanks to Lynne Schanzle for “Betsy”!

The NCWFA sponsors a multitude of activities each year, including lure coursing, straight racing and oval track racing. Our members are also very active in showing, obedience trials, agility and open field coursing.
This past year, WINSOME AMPLIFAX RCH, owned and bred by member David Gil, ~ the National NAWRA Race Champion. Also, WINDY GLENS MIDNIGHT SUN, LCM, owned by members Bruce and Christie Beetz, was BOB at the international Invitational in Colorado and is also in the ASFA Top Ten.
In addition to Amplifax and Sunny, other new title holders for 1991 include:

The NCWFA also publishes a monthly newsletter, SPEED, with articles of interest to both experienced and novice Whippet owners. 1991 saw the creation of the NCWFA produced “IT'S A WHWPET. . . YES, IT'S FAST.. . No, IT'S NOT HUNGRY ” T-shirts, benefiting Rescue, worn by proud Whippet owners from coast to coast.

“Kelly” joined us last fall and quickly became a favorite among Poodles and human beings at Manakin Farms. She finished with two Breeds from the classes, shown by her breeder and Damara Bolte, defeating top-rated specials on the way, and first time out as a special was BOS over multiple Group-winning competition under breeder-judge Carol Willumsen.
She will be showing her owner in the specials ring on occasion during 1992. (We've never done it before, so be patient with us!) And there may even be puppies later on...

We would have liked to print a complete list of all the champions sired by “Max,” but we don't even have the names of all the overseas winners. We do know that he has sired well over 30 champions, mostly in the U.S. of course, but others as far apart as Scandinavia and Brazil, and we hope he will have puppies in Australia as well in 1992. Among his kids and grandchildren in the U.S. are numerous Specialty and All-Breed BIS winners.
His three recent litters in the U.S. and Canada look wonderful and include a daughter who finished by going BOB over five specials at nine months, and others will make the debuts in the new year.
Max has won the Stud Dog class at three different AWC specialties. He is one of the few direct links to the great old English bloodlines which have combined so well with U.S. pedigrees in the grand tradition of Courtenay Fleetfoot of Pennyworth, Greenbrae Barndance, Tantiwey DiverofPennyworth, Charmoll Clansman, and many others. We are very proud of him!

Paulette began her show career by winning Best in Match at seven months.
Winning the Breed over Group-winning Specials under Everett Dean Jr., Paulette is shown above winning the Hound Group over BIS hounds at Old Dominion Kennel Club under Carol Esterkin. She also won BOW & BOS over Specials at the Somerset Hills AWC support show under Edna “Midge” Martin.
Paulette completed her Championship from the Bred-by-Exhibitor class under breeder-judge Joan Goldstein.
She also captured Bermuda, placing Group I twice, Group II once and a Best In Show. She also was awarded Top Hound.
Paulette has inherited her flowing movement from her BIS sire and her elegance from her BIS- producing dam, and was handled by her breeder/owner or Juanita Irvin.

1991 - another year of growth for the Western Washington Whippet Association. We held our first sanctioned A-OA Specialty match along with five ASFA lure trials, 2 AKC test runs, and AKC lure trial 2 NAWRA/NOTRA race weekends. Keeping busy throughout the year not only with the above mentioned events but we have a monthly newsletter, weekly race practice, and active rescue group that placed 4 homeless Whippets this year. We held handling classes, several Whippet walks an educational tables dispensing information on our breed at major shows and regional fairs. Our membership continues to grow, adding 8 new member's. At the same time we said good—bye to some beloved doggie friends and introduced some new ones.
Our unique hard—working group also enjoys relaxing together and can organize a great pot—luck at a moments notice. To experience our own brand of Pacific Northwest hospitality, plan on attending the ultimate pot-luck: The 94 National Specialty.

Simon has been such an exciting dog to own and love. In his brief two years, Simon won Best in Futurity at the American Whippet Club National Specialty, won a 5-point major at an AWC Supported Entry, went Best in Field at his first field trial, finished his Field Championship in three trials, won his Lure Courser of Merit Championship, was Highest Scoring Whippet at the first ever AKC Field Trials, was Number One ASFA Whippet in the country by the fall standings, and has sired a fabulous litter. But the best thing Simon does is be at my side every day. That's his most important role, and he does it well, and I hope he will be there for many, many years to come. (See Pedigree Section) Simon is co-owned by his faithful lure coursing companion, Lawrence F. Flynn, Jr. |

Ch. Paris Pauline Pauline's light, floating movement carried her easily to her championship in 1991. At year's end, she moved to her new home with Michael Hunter Holderman, M.D., and prepared for her new litter by Ch. Whippoorwill Tanager. |

Ch. Paris Panther
“Plus beau que ca tu mort!” That's what French whippet breeder Victoria Thompson said, the first time she saw our Ch. Paris Panther. More beautiful than that, you die! Panther now flies the Parisfield banner in Europe, where he is owned by Madame Karen Mesavage, of Sac a Malices Whippets. In his first months in France, he finished a stunning 4th out of 68 at the National d'Elevage, the National Specialty. He went on to win CACs and CACIBs in France and Holland, taking Best of Breed and group placements, and has been much in demand as a sire. There's only one problem; we miss him here. See below. |
Paris Tell No Lies Before Panther left for Europe, I leased the lovely Shaw from Judy Britton of Seaspell Whippets to breed to him. Tella and her brother William, Paris Say You Will, and sister Markie, Paris Mark My Words, owned by Tom and Jean Gentner, are our future stars for 1992. |

Ch. Gold Dust's Let's Parti, FCh, SC Lulu is so lovely that her most important job every day is to show us her lovely outline and dark eyes and easy movement, and remind us just how beautiful a whippet can be. Lulu is also a stunning courser. She has a 4-point major and 2 other points towards her AKC Field Championship, and she wants to keep on going.
|
Ch. Paris Good Time Charlie, FCh, SC Charles has the honor of being the only whippet to reside at the Foxcroft Borzoi kennels of Peter San Paolo. Charles finished his breed championship in 1991, with a 4-point major at Bucks County Kennel Club under judge Michael Dougherty. He then took to the coursing field, and quickly won his AFSA Field Championship and his AKC Senior Courser title. Charles doesn't like being posed for photographers, but when our friend Leila Downen snapped this shot ringside, Charles showed how curvy and correct he really is.

Paris Persuasion, SC Murphy started his show and his coursing career in 1991, under the guidance of co-owner Gretchen Vanderford, and thrilled us by his wins at whippet specialties. We hope that Murphy will be part of our future in 1992. He planned to start the year in California, with coowner Nancy Schulte. (See Pedigree Section) |

Ch. Paris The Baroness Abby, FCh, SC and Ch. Paris Princess The litter sisters Abby and Fergie were amazing in 1991. Abby finished her lure coursing title by winning Highest Scoring Whippet in Octoberfest, then got her Senior Courser title by winning a 5-point major, and Best in Field, at an AKC trial. Cora Miller, of Hound Hill Whippets, watched Abby's winning run, and I treasured her comment; “Perfect”, she said. “You can't get more perfect than perfect.” Fergie finished her championship with 3 majors, including a 4-point major at the American Whippet Club Supported Entry in Finger Lakes, under judge Max Magder. She enjoys showing so much that she has been a special Special. |
 |
Am.Intl.Dan. &GermanCh. Beautiful Dreamer du Sac a Malices Our French import, Kiwi, spent an enjoyable second year in America, finishing his championship with three majors in a row at the Saratoga Springs circuit in August, with his handler and best friend, Lesley Potts. |

And I can't close my memories of 1991 without mentioning that it was the year in which I was invited by Mme. Mesavage to judge at the show of the Delegation Lorraine-Sud du Club Francais du Whippet. The show drew an entry of over 100 whippets, and allowed me to meet whippet breeders from throughout Europe, including those shown here, Wim Wiersma, from Holland, and Frank Sampers, of Belgium. I also had the opportunity to show dogs in France and Germany, with assistance from Karen Mesavage, and also to show and steward in England, with my friend Gay Robertson, Moonlake Whippets. |

“Vixen” was owner-handled (in California) to a BOB over 2 top ten specials (from the classes), then went on to a Group 3! Thank you Dr. Greathouse! Vixen's superior quality is what made these wins, for this owner-handler, possible. For that (and for their friendship and encouragement), we gratefully thank Lee and Deann Christianson.

Among Drake's many achievements, lure coursing is the latest. He, again, proved himself a force to be reckoned with by completing his Field Championship in FIVE trials within 1 1/2 months time from start to finish.
Drake was only exhibited a total of 12 times in the show ring in 1991. The results:
2 SBIS
AWC National Specialty Award
6 BOB
2 Hound Group I, 2 Hound Group II, 1 Hound Group III
We are not driven to achieve the almighty number 1 in the rankings. It is our goal, however, to produce a strong, consistent line of whippets treading the slippery path between soundness and beauty. Color being immaterial. Just as important, we desire a line of sound, outgoing temperaments. Their mere existence is our pleasure. We love them not for what they may do for us in the show ring or the field, but for their unique individual personalities that each one gives to our family.
Mystery's titles and performance says it all.
Her record includes:
• 2nd bitch on the east coast to get an ORC
• 1St bitch on the east coast to get ORC/ARM
• 1991 winner of Iron Whippet Trophy sponsored by HRWC
• 1991 winner of JRRWA 4th of July u-val
• 1991 winner of Fall Oval Classic sponsored by TSWC (1st bitch winner)
• BOB at Montpelier in 1991
She ends 1991 with:
• 12 oval/u-val meet wins, 6 second places (only once out of the National Point standing) with 42.5 National points
Mystery will continue to course and race in 1992, but watch for an outstanding breeding to happen with Lyth Joker (Satus x Domino) sometime in late 1992 or 1993.
Congratulations to Lyth Amazing Grace, ARM (litter sister) on being the #1 NPR bitch, Blarneystone Shoreline Jet, ARM (1/2 brother) on being National Race Champion on NPR. And 1/2 sister Blarneystone Amarillo, possible #1 ASFA whippet.
Mystery was bred by Lord & Lady Lewis, who still produce the best!
Thanks ‘Arry!!!

DYLAN Totally Whippet from his nose to the tip of his tail, our silver brindle finished his championship in April after picking up three 4-point majors on the January circuit, one at an AWC supported entry.
WIZARD Still maturing, he came out for a few shows and his first points. A sound and pretty lemon fawn and white, Wizard has a gorgeous headpiece with large, dark eyes.
FIRE — Our fabulous Fire started his career off with a bang and is nearing completion of his championship. Many thanks to DR. CHARLES BILLINGS for an unforgettable win at the AWC supported entry in July. He awarded Fire BOB over 12 specials from the Bred-by class for a 5-point major!
My favorite brood bitch, Am.Can.Ch. Surrey Hill's I'm No Angel, F.Ch., was also Mrs. Errickson's favorite brood bitch at the AWC Southern Specialty. “Katie” is pictured with our youngest champion ever - Ch. Surrey Hill's My Vindication (finished 2 weeks later at age 8 months) - who was BOW the day before, and Surrey Hill's Uncommon Valor, who went RWB at the specialty.
Katie is producing beautiful expressions, clean backskulls, front fill, and exceptional outlines. Watch for these winners:
Also sired by Gh. Gold-Dust Joint Venture:
Surrey Hill's Vouvray, Vicarious Thrill, and Veronica Lake - AKC ptd. at 8 mos. of age
Surrey Hill's Victoria's Secret and Uncommon Valor - major RWB's
Surrey Hill's Virtual Reality - Match Group I, soon to debut Sired by Ch. Houston:
Surrey Hill Millenium Falcon, F.Ch. - BOB's in bench and field, looking for majors (see Pedigree Section)
Surrey Hill's Dawn Treader, F.Ch. - 6 AKC points
Can.Ch. Surrey Hill's Aye Calypso - AKC pointed
Don't be fooled by their sweet expressions! They're “no angels”! (Well, Dawn is, sort of...)
