“The world belongs to those who dare to dream”

Bengal (Wheatland Bengal, WRChX, SORC-IV) and Carmen (Vitesse's Kiss N Tell, WRCh, SORC-II) had their very own New Year's Eve party back in 2002. Their litter, collectively know as the Itty-Bits, made their appearance on March 6, 2003. In 2004, they made their presence felt...

AND my apologies to “Blaze”, Windyglen’s Blaze of Glory II, owned by Bob Fisher, who finished his WRCh on 10/12/03 at the WRA National. I inadvertantly left him off of last year’s list of titlists.

Two whippets joined the truly elite of the racing world by accumulating the national points necessary to acquire the Whippet Racing Champion Excellent title. Only the top finishers in any race meet get national points. These dogs are featured on the facing page.

2004 found “Par”, JZ Vitesse Parsifal, WRCh, taking home all the goodies from the WRA National Race Meet, held October 9th in Celina, Texas.

“Haley”, Lyth Lecombe, continues her top winning ways, finishing both her WRCh-X-III and WRChX-IV titles during the year.

WRA congratulates all the dogs who ran with us this year,
And thanks to all the owners for their continued support.
