BALGIDA
Sire: UK Aust NZ Ch Nevedith Rare Rogue (imp UK)
Dam: Valdassa Grappa
They had 10 beautiful pups, all solid Fawn and Fawn & White Parti coloured, whelped on the 9th of January 2004.
‘Grappa’ (‘Gabbo’s mother) is an extraordinary solid Fawn with Blue muzzle, bred and owned by Gian Zovi. She’s very outgoing and full of joyous life. Grappa was never shown as she is quite a powerful and “substantial” whippet.
‘Rogue’ is an outstanding, internationally accomplished whippet and was one of the UK’s Top producers. A Fawn & White Parti, he is considered one of Australia’s leading English imports and has sired many principal Champions on several continents. He continues to win “Specialty Best In Shows” and “Reserve in Shows” at a matured age.
.
All pups were fawn, mostly solid with white trim and/or a blue mask. The most shown from this litter was the fawn & white ‘Ryan’ Ibiza Balgida Delorian, co-owned with Mrs Noreen Harris of ‘Bonnymead’ kennels. He won young Classes “In Group” and took 2nd Puppy Dog class at both Australia’s 1st National Whippet Specialty Show in 2004, under breed authority Mr Magnus Hagstedt of ‘Signum’ whippets Sweden and then at the Royal Melbourne Show under a South African judge.
The other achiever from this litter is the solid fawn with blue muzzle ‘Pixie’ Ibiza Balgida Barcelona, owned by Ms Belinda Blight. She is proving hard to beat on the racing circuit so look out for our “flying” Pixie..
and of course the fawn & white, “Sir” ‘Reggie’ Ibiza Balgida Roguerigues (who’s just the best!). He owns the Jenkins Family.
