A summary for 2004

December 20th, 2005

.
Not shown for almost a year, Gabbo placed 3rd Intermediate Dog with his blue brother ‘Monte’ – Valdassa Visconte taking 2nd Intermediate Dog, at our 1st Whippet National Show 2004 in a strong Class entry, beating Champions, an import and even a Grand Champion! under international breed authorities, Dog Classes judge Mr Magnus Hagdtedt (‘Signum’ Sweden) and Bitch Classes & “BIS” judge Mrs Mary Lowe (‘Nimrodel’ UK).

In just the second year at a Whippet “Specialty” Show, IBIZA Whippets did extraordinarily well, taking nine placements (more than any other breeder) at Australia’s 1st National Whippet Specialty Show held during the Whippet World Congress, mid September 2004 in Melbourne. Our “Class In Group” winning, handsome black & white “King” of IBIZA, ‘Banjo’ – Ibiza Sweet Mr Cerenade placed 2nd Junior Dog in a stong class entry. He won “Best Puppy In Show” at the South Australia Whippet Specialty 2004 in Adelaide, under sighthound specialist judge, Ms Jocelyn Gagne (Canada) and his first “Best of Breed” was under Breed Specialist judge, Mrs Glenda Goller (‘Cherubz’, QLD).

At the 2004 Royal Melbourne Show we took four placements, with our blue brindle ‘Brodie’ – Bonnymead Blue Flash (bred, co-owned & shown by Mrs Noreen Harris) taking 1st Intermediate Dog in a decent class. We also had three “2nds” in Class with our home-breds ‘Banjo’ – Ibiza Sweet Mr Cerenade, ‘Ryan’ Ibiza Balgida Delorian & ‘Mandy’ Ibiza Argyle Dia Mandy.

Quite an achievement, as Whippets had the biggest Breed entry, in what is the largest Dog Show in the Southern Hemisphere.
