In Loving Memory of Stewart Holcomb

My Friend. My Brother; My Mentor

I feel the void of our rim. so incomplete!

But still I can hear your laughter;

My sorrow has widened and tears still flow,

But yet I hear your laughter.

The empty feeling plagues my soul as our plans unravel so very slow . . . Today I hear no laughter! For today I hear my sobs, my screams and feel my anger, Because today I know I will NEVER hear your laughter!!!

As time presses on and my anger is gone. I stop for a moment to listen and as strong as before

Today, yes today. I can hear your laughter!!! - D. Richards

What can we say about this little dog. They say that whatever you name your dog is who and what your dog will be, and Moe has really lived up to his name of The Joker. The joke has really been on us; this little dog only ran half time up to September, at that time we started running him two days and he went from #7 position to #1 in three short months. As well as becoming the first Whippet to win the AKC National Championship. All of this and more at the age of two. We plan to spend time working on his CD and, of course, he will enjoy more time making music in the sun as he chases his bunnies in 1996.

Moe would like to wish luck to his littermates in 1996:

Eric needed only a placement for his ASFA field championship when he was injured by a car. After his recovery, he started his show carreer. He has consistently been in the ribbons at specialties and supported entries. The things we love most about our boy are his easy going temperament, his exceptional, smooth shoulders (judges noticed!) which carry through to his long, beautifully arched tail, his depth of body and his great sighthound instincts. Thanks to Sue and Bill Peterson, Topaz, for the use of your boy, Topaz. And a special thank you to Connie Alexander, Kachina, for your excellent presentation of Eric.

.. beautiful balance of muscular power and strength combined with elegance and grace of outline
as called for in the standard. She could move too! Wide open side gait, really reaching and driving.
Very pretty head and expression set off by her large dark eyes.

Pudge at his first show -
AWC National Specialty, where he went Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best Puppy in show under judge John Shelton (Sheridan)!

Pudge's first foray into the ring - AWC National Futurity, under Karen Bowers Lee (Surrey Hill).

Shown at only five all-breed shows, Pudge finished owner-handled at 12 months, with a BOS and BOB over specials to his credit. Thank you judges and Debbie for the specialty wins - it never hurts to have the best at both ends of the lead!


Pudge at his second show -the AWC Eastern Specialty, going Winners Dog under judge Barbara Rupert (Oakhurst).
Always taking a first in his
specialty and supported entry sweeps classes, Pudge is shown most recently going Best of Opposite Sex under Linda
Garwacki (Bitterblue) - Southern Specialty weekend.

Now you know why Pudge is smiling!

Smitty's back! Well, in North American, anyway. He's packing his bags now for a quick visit to Canada. Home with Mom and the family was just too boring after eight months with Saulo and the Silkrock girls in Brazil. With him, Smitty brings a new title. Behind him, he leaves not just friends, but some very nice puppies of pedigree you will recognize. We hope that you like them and wish you could see them move! Please see the next page.

"Sarah" is a daughter of the famous Ch. Saxon Shore Amber Waves, ROMX. In 1995, she really did make us happy being #1 Whippet!!! She even won the two largest Sighthound Specialties under breed specialists. Her puppies have done extremely well this year: Ch. Autumn Sky At Dawn (by Ch. Terra Bella Battimano) won the CC and BOS at the Nordic Winner Show in Sweden and Woodbrook's What's Up, Woodbrook's Got To Get It and Woodbrook's Run To You (by Ch. Chelhalem's Mr. Good Bar, FCh) need only one more CC to be finished. A litter is planned for Sarah in 1996.
