Many thanks to wonder girl Veronica who handled ‘Rusty’ in class and through to “Dog Challenge Certificate”. The Afghan won “BIG” and the Standard Smooth Dachie was R/Up.

All of us enjoyed a wonderful early Christmas with the Beasleighs (Bellendene whippets) in Sydney. Having planned this a while ago, we thought we would attend the shows that happened to be on up there, and glad we did!
We placed 1st with all our CC qualifying boys, including 5 class wins in total (’Renaldo’ stayed home in Melbourne with his new daddies!). Was amazing to have ALL of our older boys qualify for the Dog Challenge line-up!! It looked like those wonderfull Breeder Groups you see in the overseas shows. Thanks to Yvonne, David and his friend who jumped-in to help out.
Our ‘Strider’ Ibiza Callas Soprano (co-owned with Allen Anderson) won the Dog Challenge Certificate and has now gained his AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION title. Our very first Whippet Champ!! Well done ‘Strider’!
A sunny day made for a great show and it was nice to spend time with Sydney friends.
