. . . "had the look I had been in search of all day. She has good length of body with a proper topline and an excellent head and eye.
She brings to my mind the picture I have of the breed and will be one to watch as she grows older”
Judge Stacey B. Davis, AWC Midwest Specialty
Sighthound Review 1996

Watch Me is so very proud to have breeder judges compliment our whippets with such wonderful praise.
Compliments have been rich for our other ‘children”, including Basia ‘s littermates and Bathsheba ‘s previous litter.
These kids include the fabulous multiple Best In Show, # 1 Whippet Dog News Top Ten Ch. Watch Me Ruby Red Slippers.
Thank you to the owners and handlers who have made 1996 unforgettable.

Whether stretched out under the covers with the cats, in the ring, or on the coursing field, Annie is a joy to watch. She finished with 3 majors, all BOW, including a BOB over BIS & SBIS competition. We’re looking forward to 1997 with a line breeding planned to Ch. Oakhurst Midas Touch (SBIS Ch. Delecreme de la Renta, ROMX x Ch. Saxon Shore Kandi Kane (a Jason sister), as well as lots more coursing.












(Ch. Mimbres Gilded Grayling x Ch. Whispering Lane I’m Gemini)
Spot is undoubtedly one of our favorites. She’s a petite bitch who can really fly on sidegait,
while covering ground with so very little effort.

(Ch. Mimbres Gilded Grayling x Ch. Whispering Lane I’m Gemini)
“Juice” finished with multiple breed wins from the classes.
His small, compact physique has earned him merit in both the show ring and field.

(Ch. Surrey Hill Rogue of Chelsea x Ch. Whispering Lane Cinnamon Twist)
“Lilly” has quickly blossomed into the ultra-sound gorgeous moving bitch we knew she would be.
She has stoutly gathered up minors in limited showing in 1996 and is ready to soar in 1997.

(Ch. Seaspell’s Spider Phaeton x Ch. Whispering Lane Cat’s Meow)
Nicholas has been busy picking up minors from the puppy class.
We’re looking forward to a more mature Nick in ‘97.

ON THE FIELD
Ch. Laurel Chase Perfect Alibi finished his JC andhas 2 legs on his SC.
Ch. Laurel Chase In Living Color, JO finished his JC and started his SC.
“Wally” has also delighted us by winning Jr. Show classes with his new owner, Josh.
Laurel Chase Head Over Heels,JC,SC has performed equally well in both the ring (Group placing) and field.
LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, let’s not forget Oh. Sporting Fields Leader Seaspell (The Old Man).
who received his JO and is half way through his SC.
