Just one month shy of her tenth birthday, Brandy was Best of Opposite Sex from the Veteran Class at the 2005 Greater Chicago Whippet Club Specialty. Thank you Mr. Bud Gutilla for this memorable win! Brandy was also awarded Best Veteran in Sweepstakes that same day from judge Ms. Crystal McNulty. Thank you to both of these judges for these special wins for our very special girl! Brandy would like to thank “Grandma” for handling her on this day, while “Mom” was out on maternity leave!

Sired by Ch. Elysian Pompeii Pastorale, CD, SC and out of Plumcreek Stars Above, Romeo would like to congratulate his first champion, Ch.

Fonda

Ch. Kamada Perfectly Plumcreek

Fonda finished “perfectly” with some big wins, including a five-point BOW at the AWC supported St. Croix show under sighthound judge Sandra Frei and another big win at the Old Fort Cluster under Ms. Julie Holm (pictured) to finish. To quote one judge “... a dark brindle bitch who was extremely confident. She moved with a fierce determination. Best mover the entire day. I’d hate to be the bunny!...”

Thank you to the judges who have appreciated Fonda Jean and to her breeders, Kathy and Debbie, who have made this all possible by letting her come live with a bunch of spotted dogs and novice whippet owners. A special thank you to Dawn and Kevin Carlson, whose encouragement was monumental!

Machie

CH. PARIS SIRIUS HOTTIME TONIGHT
(Ch. Whippoorwill Tanager x Ch. Paris Pauline)

At fourteen years young, she is still going strong!

What can I say about the “love of my life”, but a great big thank you to Sharon R. Sakson and Dr. Michael Hunter Holderman by allowing me to become Machie’s mom fourteen years ago.

I’ll never forget the day Machie came to live at my home in the summer of 1992. This elegant nine month old brindle bitch became part of a trio of dogs, with two beautiful Dobermans named Vickie and Louie. They all bonded instantly.

After practicing daily and attending handling classes, I struggled in the show ring as an owner-handler. Then a wonderful lady named Juanita Irwin (Whippoorwill) took the lead and the two took off. There was no stopping my graceful Machie as she literally floated around the ring catching the judges’ hearts. Nine months later we had a “New Champion”. Other friends who have contributed to her successful career are Kim Strong, Ken Wheeler and Dr. Barbara Henderson.

I did put the first BOB on her which has been one of the most exciting moments of my life.

Now, at the age of fourteen, Machie still rules the household.

After at least six breast tumor surgeries, my precious baby is still healthy and as playful as a puppy. I thank God daily for the blessing of Machie’s good health and vigor.

Machie is currently being shown in various veteran’s classes throughout the year.

We would like to thank all of our friends for their gracious applause and love as they watch this phenomenal old girl still strut her stuff in the show ring.

Also thank you to Juanita for her heartfelt tears, as she still continues to be part of a team with Machie.

Watch for Machie at the 2006 Nationals.

Owned and loved by
Maggie Gellers and her “Doggie Daddy” Frank Gettys

Bred by
Sharon R. Sakson (Paris Whippets)
Dr. Michael Hunter Holderman (Sirius Whippets)

Also, tons of thanks to Barbara Henderson (Whippoorwill Whippets)
and all the girls at Whippoorwill for their love and friendship.

All of our this would not be possible without the expertise medical care of Calvin Clements, DVM
and the wonderful staff at Silver Springs Animal Clinic in Harrisburg, PA.


Nestor and Truffle are by Kentfield’s Nepotolemus, SRCh, SORC, WRCh. (NOFCA pointed)
out of Bitterblue’s Soul Sister, LCM (WRA, NOFCA pointed)

Along with racing, lure coursing, trying a bit of Rally (with both Nestor and Eureka qualifying), some CPE agility trials with Cosmo (gaining several new titles), we finished CH. Bitterblue’s LSH Chiquita, one of our LaManchas, going Gch in 5 of her 6 shows, with a Best In Show (and best udder) thrown in for good measure. Her half sister, CH. Bitterblue’s LSH Phantom, received a BIS the weekend before. We were also pleased with Chiquita’s daughter, Velveeta, who won at the AGS nationals as junior champion and our senior herdsire, *B Winterwood’s M Dartangian, as the national champion buck. It was a busy year for
the Whippets and LaManchas alike!

“SERA” is hard for the breeder-judges to ignore, as evidenced by the four point major awarded her at a supported entry weekend in 2005, under judge Lori Nelson (Wildfire). “Sera” just floats in the show ring and her classic whippet head and eyes are to die for.
She is owned and handled by Christina L. Becker.
