COVER STORY
(Ch. Gold-Dusts Joint Venture x Whippletree Hadley, FCh)
Simon has always been First and Best. Best in Futurity. Best of Winners, AWC Supported Entry. Best in Field at his first Field Trial, and many, many thereafter. Best ASFA Coursing Dog of the Year, 1991. First AKC Dual Champion Whippet. And, most importantly, Best Friend.
Simon is out of the gorgeous, elegant bitch, Whippletree Hadley. Her first litter, by Ch. Bo-Bett's Luke Skywalker, LCM, in 1987, consisted of four bitches, of which two were shown and finished, Martha and Pauline. Her second and final litter was by Ch. Gold Dust's Joint Venture, in 1989, and consisted of three males, one bitch, three of which were shown and finished, Simon, Kara and Skipper. Every puppy Hadley produced was a superior specimen, and if I had to do it all over, I would go out and buy her again. Her elegance, soundness, big dark eyes, calm, steady temperament and remarkable coursing ability have come down through the generations. I still see “Hadley” qualities in puppies of her descendents.

The American Whippet Club
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT -
As 1994 draws to a close, the purebred dog fancy is still reeling from the recent barrage of negative publicity in the media. Reports on 20/20 and in Time magazine question every aspect of the dog game, from the integrity of the stud book to the preponderance of genetic defects in dogs bred for the show ring. These reports contain numerous inaccuracies and many facts have been skewed to sensationalize the stories, but the message is clear - we do have problems that must be addressed if we want to continue enjoying participation in purebred dog events.
Everyone involved in purebred dogs, from the owner of one registered dog to the board and officers of the American Kennel Club, must do their part to erase the negative connotations that have been attached to “AKC registered show dogs”. We must take a proactive role in getting out the message about the advantages of owning a purebred and the many performance activities available in addition to participation in the conformation ring.
What should be the American Whippet Club's role in this movement? I think we have an obligation to exert a positive influence in all directions.
As a member club, we should make it clear to the American Kennel Club that removing the tarnish from the image of purebred dogs should be their number one priority. We should show our support for the newly established AKC Canine Health Foundation by making an annual contribution. We must insist that the integrity of the stud book be maintained through investigation and inspection of suspect breeding facilities.
The American Whippet Club must inform our members that dishonest, unethical or unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. We must establish guidelines for responsible breeding. We must make sure our personal dealings in the sport are above reproach and our reputations remain squeaky clean. Now might be a good time to consider a strong, enforceable code of ethics, or, at the very least, a code of conduct for Club members to follow. Our goal must be to strive for the very highest level of excellence in every aspect of our whippet activities.
It's time to make sure that we are all doing our share to improve the sport of purebred dogs. The American Whippet Club will do what is necessary to educate and inform its members on how to actively participate in achieving this goal in the upcoming year. I am sure we can count on each of you to do your part to insure our success.

We hope her second year of racing is as exciting as her first and would like to thank Tony and Helena for our very own black queen.

• Finished RCH in 4 meets
• Finished ORG 1 week after RCH, in 5 meets
• Won British rules whippet racing SUPREME weight class racing

(Sunday Morning Coming Down, ARM, ORC, CC, CM, FCH x Ringdove Quorn, RCH, ORC, FCH)
SPROG has many meet wins to his credit, even though his biggest competitors are his kennel mate Cassiopeia and 3/4 brother, Elektras Zion, RCH, ORC.
He is Nationally ranked on the oval and has the distinction of having finished both his race champion and oval racing champion by 16 months of age!
From a litter of ‘1', Sprog is generally known to all as a super friendly all around nice guy.
FLASH!
Sprog finished out the 1994 racing season tied for the National oval track racing association's NATIONAL CHAMPION. Sidelined twice through the season with injuries, he still managed to finish with 6 meet wins, 4 seconds and 1 third in strong west coast competition.

His ‘Mom would like to say that in her eyes, he has always been a champion for no other is more loving, sweet or more dedicated to bringing me a tug or throw toy first thing in the morning.

“Smudge”, a Whirlaway granddaughter from Farvel's last litter, graced our lives for 13 1/2 years. Her show career was brief, at age 1 she went RWB, RWB, 5 Pt major, 5 Pt major, 2 pts, 5 Pt major. She produced one litter for us of 4 Champions (including a multiple Group Winner). “Smudge” was every inch a ‘Lady' and a Champion.
God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be;
So he put his arms around you, and whispered “Come to me.”
A golden heart stopped beating, weary paws went to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best
