Dear Readers,
Peggy Swayze, Longlesson Whippets and Afghans,
passed away in her sleep after a long illness on January
11, 2010, at home and surrounded by her family and
dogs. — Another recent loss was Becki Lansford who was
very involved with Whippet and Greyhound groups in
Atlanta, and who developed complications after a bout
with an intestinal virus and was finally overcome with
pneumonia. — Carroll Hayhurst of Whirlaway Whippets
passed away at his home in California last month. He was
a founding member of SCWA and GWWA, and was a
longtime supporter, breeder and exhibitor of athletic,
dual-purpose Whippets. — YIKES!! Check out the Whippet Health Foundation’s recent donations list elsewhere
in this issue, every one of them admirable, one of them
stupendous! — Happy New Year wishes to Whippeteers
everywhere, here’s to having fun with your dogs whatever you choose to do together!!!!!

The Whippe T NeWs  JaNuary 2010
President’s Message
Even though we are well into the first month of 2010, I
would still like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a very
happy and prosperous New Year. I hope all of your endeavors
both with your Whippets and without are prosperous and
fulfilling.
I want to welcome Tina Macgregor, Brad Briscoe, Jenni
Knutson, Dee Anna Miller, Kristi Osterloo, and Rhonda Rhines
as the newest members of the AWC. I look forward to getting
to know and work with each of you.
Speaking of memberships when each of us filled out
the application form to join the AWC we contracted by our
signatures on the form to uphold the following statement: “I
agree to abide by the American Whippet Club’s Constitution
and By-laws and its Code of Ethics…” I would like to ask each
of you to take the time to review and/or reread the AWC
Constitution and By-Laws and the Code of Ethics when you
have the time to do so. The members of the Board of Directors
periodically receive questions and sometimes complaints that
are clearly answered in one or the other of these documents.
None of us mind responding to anything like this that a
member poses to us but it makes me wonder how many
people have signed the membership application form agreeing
to uphold the ideals in documents that they’ve never read.
Still on the membership theme, if you haven’t yet paid
your dues please don’t forget to send them in or pay them on
line.
Until next month, be safe and have fun with your
Whippets.
Russell

FUTURITY REPORT
I am pleased to announce that Ms. Linda Johnson has been voted the
2010 Futurity Judge. Congratulations Linda! The 2010 Futurity will be held in
Tucson, Arizona on Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Thank you to the seven finalists:
Phoebe Booth, Tad Brooks, Joe Buchanan, Jan Swayze Curry, Mary Dukes,
Jackie Hubble and Linda Johnson for supporting the Futurity with your participation.
With the recent change to the Futurity Rules voted on by AWC members,
Cindy Scott and I compiled all the Futurity Requirements into one document.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Whippet News you will find the current "Futurity
Requirements & Rules". Please note that the change to the CERF requirements goes into effect for the 2012 Futurity. This may seem like a long time
away but puppies born in October 2010 (actual date to be determined) will be
eligible for the 2012 Futurity.
Please include the registered name of the bitch on all correspondence. As
always, I will acknowledge receipt of all nominations so, if you don’t get an
acknowledgment, drop me an email. Best of luck with your puppies!

FUTURITY NOMINATION REQUIREMENTS & RULES
The Futurity is sponsored by the American Whippet Club and is exclusively for the competition of puppies and juniors between 6
months and 18 months of age.
The Futurity is open to all breeders of AKC registered whippets in good standing with the American Kennel Club and the American
Whippet Club.
Puppies eligible for the 2010 Futurity must be out of Futurity nominated bitches and whelped on or before October 20, 2009.
The bitch must be nominated prior to whelping. The official Bitch Nomination Form, along with the fee of $20 and copies of current CERF certificates for both the sire and dam, must be sent to the Futurity Chairman and postmarked prior to the whelping date.
CERF exams for both the sire and dam must have been completed before the breeding date. (This is effective starting with the
2012 Futurity). Copies of CERF Certificates or a copy of the application for a CERF Certificate (the actual exam paperwork
marked normal in both eyes) must be submitted for both the sire and dam with the Bitch Nomination Form. CERF examinations are valid for one year.
If the sire or dam of the litter being nominated is 10 years of age or older, a current CERF exam is not required for that dog.
HOWEVER, the dog must have had and passed at least one CERF exam between the ages of 8 and 10 years. A copy of the
last CERF Certificate must be submitted with the Bitch Nomination Form.
Late bitch nominations are accepted if they are postmarked prior to the litter turning 6 weeks old. The fee for a late nomination
is $75. Breeders of late nominated bitches waive their right to nominate and vote for the Futurity Judge.
The official Litter Nomination Form, along with the fee of $25 and a four-generation pedigree, must be postmarked prior to the
litter turning 3 months old.
To enter the Futurity, puppies must be entered in a Regular Conformation Class and the appropriate Futurity Class as an
'additional' class at the AWC National they were nominated and are eligible for.
Puppies are only eligible to be shown in one Futurity; the first Futurity that they are at least 6 months of age.
Futurity Classes will be divided according to age and sex as follows:
Dogs 6-8 months Bitches 6-8 months
Dogs 8-10 months Bitches 8-10 months
Dogs 10-12 Months Bitches 10-12 Months
The winner of each class will compete for Best In Futurity.
In the event that the date of the AWC National is later in April than the previous year, the age limit shall be increased and the
nominees affected shall be eligible for competition in the 14-18 Month classes.
The Futurity Judge is chosen by a two-step process by breeders of nominated bitches who are members in good standing of the
American Whippet Club.
Step 1: Ballots are sent to the First AWC Member listed as breeder on the Bitch Nomination Form. For each nominated
bitch, the breeder/or breeders may submit one slate of two names. One ballot will be accepted for each bitch nominated.
Once those breeders have voted (nominated), they may not vote (nominate) again during the current year. It is up to the
breeder(s) to decide which litter they wish to be considered eligible on if they are listed as a breeder or co-breeder on other
litters. All eligible breeders must nominate two (2) different names of any person with the qualification of “hands on experience” with the Whippet breed. These people must be in good standing with the AKC.
Step 2: Ballots are again sent to the First AWC Member listed as breeder on the Bitch Nomination Form. The breeder/or
breeders will select two (2) names from the final list of a minimum of six (6) names. The nominees will be queried as to
their willingness to judge the event by the sequence established in the balloting process. The alternate Judge will be selected by the second greatest number of votes. The nominee who accepts this nomination will be assigned as an alternate.
“Late” bitch nominations forfeit their right to ballot for the Futurity Judge.
Prize Money – 35% of entry & nomination fees will be retained by the Futurity for expenses. 35% of the remainder will be given
to the Best In Futurity winner. The remainder will be divided as follows: 40% for First Place, 30% for Second Place, 20%
for Third Place and 10% for Fourth Place. Prize money shall be awarded to the breeder/breeders only. If an owner or exhibitor of the winning dog is not the breeder, and the breeder is not present, a check will be mailed directly to the breeder.
It is between the breeders, exhibitors and owners to decide possession of any awards or cash prizes presented for any wins.
Entry fees will be retained in the event a nominated bitch or puppy is found to be ineligible under any of the above conditions.

AWC Versatility Update
John Heffernan, AWC Versatility Chair
The third annual Versatility Competition will take place this year in Tucson. Dogs compete in agility, rally, lure
coursing, and conformation. Phoebe Booth will be the conformation judge. Both Carol Chittum and Fred and
Bobby Lutz have donated special trophies and awards. We had a very nice group of dogs last year in Atlanta
with Heather Dansereau’s Ellery coming out on top. Carol Chittum’s TJ won the first competition.
Applications for the Award of Versatility and it variants are now being accepted. This coveted award recognizes
whippets that have significant achievements in a variety of dog sports. The deadline is February 12,
2010. There are no rule changes this year. See http://www.americanwhippetclub.net/awcpages/
whipversatile.html for an application. The awards include a beautiful ribbon and certificate and are given out
each year at the National Speciality. The web page also contains a complete list and some photos of past year’s
winners. If you have a photo of a previous year’s winner I can add, let me know.
Award of Versatility Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I consider my dog is to be very versatile. Why does he not qualify for the awards?
The standards for this award are high, especially compared to other breed clubs. We did a major revision of the
rules a few years ago but the number of awards given out has remained about the same with some variation
each year. Although some dogs are very talented in a specific area, or do well within one type of event, the versatility awards were created to recognize whippets that excel in several different performance venues. We do
not make exceptions to the rules for particular dogs. Many previous award winners have carefully planned their
training and schedules over years to achieve these awards. We want the award to be meaningful so the bar is
high, especially for the excellent awards. If you do have a thoughtful proposal for rules changes that are not
about an individual dog, we always welcome comments.
Why is rally considered a related sport? Why is the RAE not included?
A new category for rally with the following points was added a few years ago.
2 – Rally Excellent (RE)
1 – Rally Excellent (RA)
Rally does not count as a separate sport where the rules require a certain number of sports from different categories for the each award. This is because rally is related to traditional obedience. The number of points from
the same or related sports should not be more than 5 points for the AV/CAV award and not more than 7 points
for the AVX/CAVX award. Examples of related sports are:
Rally obedience, obedience, and HIT from miscellaneous
Lure coursing category and the BIF from miscellaneous
Conformation and the BIS variations from miscellaneous
Because of the nature of the versatility awards, we needed to institute a rule that required dogs to earn points
from different sports. Without this rule, a dog could receive over half of its points in obedience related sports
and still qualify for a versatility award. This same logic was also applied to straight and oval racing.
We feel the RAE represents a dog that is consistent at repetitive rather than different events since it consists of
double Qs from rally advanced and rally excellent. Though we consider it to be a very worthy accomplishment, it
does not show additional versatility.
Why don’t you include jumpers as an option instead of standard classes in the agility section?
Contacts are a really integral part of agility so we did not feel that jumpers titles classes, however worthy in and
of themselves, would be a good standard to judge dog’s versatility in agility. Whippets, in general, find jumpers
much easier and many whippet struggle with contacts. So, again, we want to keep the bar high and compare
“apples to apples” as much as possible in agility. Allowing jumpers OR standard would not be fair to dogs that
have mastered contacts.

Top Ten Performance Whippets: 2009
A very Happy New year to all of the whippet performance people out there! This was another fun year in performance with
new and really talented dogs finishing the year at the #1 spot in their venues. In NAWRA and CWA, however, we had two
incredibly talented dogs repeat their past accomplishments by taking the top honors again…..at ages where most dogs
have either hung up their racing blankets or are no longer running competitively. Last year I had a request for listing the
Top 20 dogs in each event, rather than simply the Top 10 so here it is….enjoy and congratulate any of these fine dogs and
their owners should you see them along the way.

Zip put on a phenomenal performance in his inaugural year of racing and was the
youngest dog ever to win the NOTRA national. His Sire, Stuart, is also a racing phenom and an accomplished sire in his own right, having been #1 NAWRA in 2005 and
the sire of multiple supreme titled dogs. His dam, Wendigo, won the WRA national
in 2005. Congratulations to Jerry Burrus and Susan Heiniger on this super hot
youngster.

he has been in the Top 5 in NAWRA for the past 5 years and has won the national
championship now twice. He is an amazing dog with a big personality and some big
guns that keep him going and going and going! Congratulations to Leslie and Bob

With owners new to whippet racing, he dominated the Midwest and put in a tremendous showing at the WRA national. Congratulations to Brent and Lisa Kemerly and to Tony Lewis on your

Charlotte repeats as the CWA national champion for the third year in a row.
This little curvy girl is unstoppable on the track and loves to run. This year she
also had success in the CWA conformation ring and finished her DPCX. Congratulations to Charlotte on her third national championship, to her owner, Fred
Luehrs for his dogged dedication to his red and white girl and to Mary Huff on
breeding such a talented running bitch!

Lure Coursing 2009
AKC Lure Coursing at the AWC National: READ UP!
The AWC national lure trial has been switched from ASFA to AKC this year. If you have never run AKC and are planning
on attending and competing with your whippet, please read on. Your dog MUST be eligible before running at this trial.
From the AKC rule book: The Open Stake is open to all hounds that have obtained an AKC Qualified Courser certificate.
This requirement will be waived for hounds that have earned a Field Championship title from the American Sighthound
Field Association (ASFA) or the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). ASFA or CKC Field Champions must submit a copy of their
title certificate to the host club when they enter their first AKC Open Stake. (Ed. Note: AKC will NOT accept the ASFA
pre-certification form.) This score will be used as part of the Versatility and Triathlon competitions so all dogs entered
in these events must be qualified to run AKC.
For your dog to run in the National specialty trial, you must do one of the following:
1). If your dog is an ASFA/CKC FCh or LCM of record, you must provide proof of that title along with your entry and
your dog will be in the Open stake.
2). You must run your dog in a pre-qualifying run at an AKC event and submit the approved Qualified Courser certificate along with your entry. We will have qualifying tests on Saturday, April 17th, the day BEFORE the trial. You must
provide a dog for the qualifying dog to run with. These forms will then be accepted the following day at the trial.
If you have questions, please contact me at [email protected]
Dr. Lisa Costello
AWC National Performance Director
From AWC Secretary Cindy Scott
Hi Christine,
Dear Parent Club Officer:
We are pleased to share this information with you from
our friends at Eukanuba regarding the new Eukanuba
Breeder’s Sweepstakes. Winning breeders from a series of
regional competitions will be invited to participate in a final
at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in December,
with the ultimate winner to compete in the Eukanuba World
Challenge. Please pass along to your membership and we
look forward to seeing you out at the shows!
Eukanuba Dog Foods proudly announces the Eukanuba
Breeder’s Stakes. The Eukanuba Breeder’s Stakes is an event
designed to honor a group of unsung heroes – the purebred
dog breeder. Breeders are the backbone of the sport, dedicating their lives to planning and producing generation upon
generation of the finest and healthiest representatives of
their breed.
The Eukanuba Breeder’s Stakes is an event designed to
celebrate these noble efforts. This special competition is
designed to evaluate an overall breeding program rather
than the traditional approach of evaluating a single specimen. Respected expert judges will evaluate the breeder’s
ability to consistently produce superior dogs of uniform type,
health, and conformation - consistent with the breeder’s mission of improving their chosen breed.
Each breeder will exhibit 3 dogs from at least 2 litters
chosen from their breeding program. The 1st exhibitor must
be breeder of record on all 3 dogs, and all 3 dogs must be
over one year old. Breeders will be able to enter on the day
of the show.
The Eukanuba Breeder’s Stakes will be held at prominent North American shows between January and November. The first installment will take place in conjunction with
the Rose City Classic in Portland, Oregon on January 23,
2010.
Each breeder will receive a gift bag for participating,
and 4 places in each group will be awarded. Prizes for group
placements are: 1st - $250.00 and 40 lbs of Eukanuba Dog
Food, 2nd–4th - $100.00 and 40 lbs of Eukanuba Dog
Food. The Group winners will compete for Best In Stakes,
which earns an additional $500.00 plus a trip to the December 2010 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Long
Beach, CA on Dec. 4-5. The Best In Stakes winners of each
regional competition will then compete at the AKC Eukanuba
National Championship in December, 2010 for the final Eukanuba Breeder’s Stakes Champion. This will be an exciting
win for this well deserving breeder as they earn the right to
compete in the 2010 Eukanuba World Challenge.
For more information about the Eukanuba Breeder’s
Stakes, please email Vicki Seiler at [email protected] or call
(513) 622-2967.
I would like to include a thank you in the Whippet News
to the contributors to the Wistwind Memorial Trophy
Fund calendar contest to raise funds for the memorial
trophy for Carolyn and Greg Mountan, Wistwind Whippets. For all the people who entered and those that
voted to raise $2,730.05 for the trophy that will be
given for the first time this year at the 2010 National.

Most of us have been in the deep freeze so far this
Winter and by April we will all be anxious for the National to roll around. The temperatures all this week in
Tucson have been in the low 70’s and will probably be
that or higher in April. Make your plans now to attend
if you can! Rhonda Gifford has published a LOT of info
in this issue of Whippet News regarding the National.
SOUTHERN SPECIALTY
The cluster of all-breed clubs that we hold our Southern Specialty with is changing their dates. It has always been held around the 3rd week of September but,
led by the Atlanta Kennel Club, they are moving to October 21, 22, 23 and 24th for 2010 and will remain
there for years to come as far as we know.

Whippet Health Foundation
Health Clinics - 2010
Once again the Whippet Health Foundation will be conducting health clinics in conjunction with the AWC
National in Tucson, Arizona. The following testing will be available: CERF, BAER, Cardiac Echocardiogram,
AKC DNA profile testing and Myostatin Deficiency DNA tests from DDC. As we did last year, the WHF will
subsidize a portion of the per dog cost for BAER, cardiac and myostatin testing for those owners willing to enter
their dogs and test results into the WHF database. While test results from all clinics are confidential, test results
released to the WHF Database will be public record (open database).
Eye Clinic Thursday, April 22. This clinic will be conducted by Caroline Betbeze, DVM, MS, ACVO. Cost
is $30 per dog. The CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation) exam is a once a year test that examines your
dogs eyes for inherited eye disease. The exam will require pupil dilation and takes approximately 15 to 20
minutes. This test is required for all sires and dams of futurity nominated litters. Sign up sheets for appointments
will be available Monday morning in the ballroom. The clinic will run from 8am until finished.
BAER Hearing Clinic Tuesday morning, April 20. This clinic will be conducted by Susanne Hughes,
DVM. The cost is $45 per dog ($25 for database participants). The BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked
Response) test is a once per lifetime test to definitively determine if your dog can hear from both ears. The test
usually takes 10-15 minutes and sedation is not necessary. It is possible for a dog to be deaf in one ear and
appear to have normal hearing so it is important to have all whippets checked, particularly animals used for
breeding. Sign up sheets for appointments will be available starting Monday morning in the ballroom. We will
have additional exam time if we run into a conflict with the Futurity. If you are willing to enter both your dog and
the BAER result into the WHF database, we will subsidize $20 of your cost, so you will only pay $25. These
results will be acquired the day of the test.
Cardiac Echocardiogram Clinic: Wednesday, April 21. This clinic will be conducted by Dr. Whitney
Church, Arizona Veterinary Specialists, LLC, Gilbert, AZ . This exam is for anyone wanting a pre-breeding
echocardiogram on their dog. The cost of the exam is $170. If you are willing to enter both your dog and the
echocardiogram result into the WHF database, we will subsidize $50 of your cost, so you only pay $120. These
results will be acquired the day of the test. Only one whippet will be allowed per owner to pre-register but more
will be accommodated if time and space allow. If you have additional dogs you want to examine, please let me
know when I contact you to schedule your appointment.
AKC DNA Profile Test: (DNA cheek swab test): $30/sample, mailed in with all samples following the
national.
Myostatin Deficiency Test: (DNA test for the double muscle gene): $48/sample ($28 for database
participants), mailed in with all samples following the national. If you are willing to enter both your dog and the
test results into the WHF database, we will subsidize $20 of your cost, so you only pay $28. These results will
be requested from you when available. Swabs will be available during the national from Dr. Lisa Costello. If you
will not be attending the national, you can acquire the swabs from DDC and send them along with payment
directly to Dr. Costello and she will submit them with all samples following the national specialty (they must be
submitted together). These samples must reach her at 14855 Newark Road, Newark, IL 60541 no later than
May 31, 2010. If you will not be attending the AWC national and need to order sample collection kits directly, call
1-800-625-0874, or email [email protected] ... do not order them from Dr. Costello!

Bianca made her show debut at the big
California shows in December. Although
just 7 months of age she was completely
unperturbed by it all, won Best Puppy
each day, twice Puppy Hound Group
2nd, RWB twice and WB & BOW at the
AKC/Eukanuba & the So. Cal. Whippet
Association specialty under judge
Dorothy Macdonald. Also pictured with
Puppy Group judge Marcia Hall Brown.
Bianca’s dam qualified for AWC Top 20 in
2007 and 2008, and just missed out in
2009 by having a litter. Bianca is from her
sire’s first litter; he is at stud at Jubilee.
We look forward to the future with a lot
of anticipation.

Association specialty weekend in Long
Beach under judges Wayne Burton and
Dorothy Macdonald, handled by Paul
Lepiane. Viggo defeated a total of 12
male specials; he was the youngest one
entered at only 14 months old.
Viggo finished with Sweepstakes and
specialty wins at 12 months. His show
career so far has been full of high points,
and he will be lightly specialled as he
matures. Thanks for all the positive
comments!

AWC and the Longhaired Whippet
The following is a brief history of the American Whippet Club’s stance regarding the improperly named
Longhaired Whippet.
In 1982-1983, the Board of Directors of the American
Whippet Club (AWC) approved a special committee to
examine questions raised by a breeding experiment
conducted by Walter Wheeler in which Wheeler reported that he had been able to produce purebred,
longhaired Whippets. The Committee requested and
received information from 36 breeders in the US and
Great Britain. It also consulted experts in canine genetics, received data from the American Kennel Club
(AKC) and other sources, including Walter Wheeler,
and examined photos taken by AWC Committee Chair
Dr. Charles Billings during his visit to Wheeler’s home.
The Committee concluded that these animals, regardless of their origin, differed materially and substantially from the approved Standard of the Whippet
breed, from the animals produced by all other Whippet breeders, and from the classic purebred Whippet
as known worldwide. The Committee also concluded
that these differences were so substantial that the
longhaired animals must be considered to be an
emerging but separate and distinct breed of coated
miniature sighthound not withstanding the fact that a
major part of its primal bloodlines may have come
from the documented Whippet genetic pool. Because
of these findings the Committee recommended that
the approved Standard of the Whippet breed be
amended to impose a disqualification for longhaired
animals. This was passed and changed.
They also found that a substantial number of these
animals were registered with the AKC as purebred
Whippets. The linking of Wheeler’s bloodlines in published breed records posed a serious potential threat
to the classic Whippet so the Committee petitioned
AKC requesting that registration of certain dogs bred
by Wheeler and represented to be purebred
“longhaired Whippets” be cancelled. The Board of
Directors of the AKC concurred and the registration of
45 litters and 82 individual dogs were removed from
AKC”s Stud Book.
In recent years a gene (MDR1) responsible for drug
sensitivity has been identified in several herding
breeds, including the Shetland Sheepdog (assumed by
many to be the source of the long coat in Wheeler’s
dogs). This gene has recently been identified in the
designer breed, the Silken Windhound (SW), a mixture of Borzoi and Whippet. Many of the foundation
Whippets used in the creation of the SW originated
26
|
from Wheeler’s kennel and SW breeders now readily
admit that his dogs were not purebred Whippets.
Because the MDR1 gene is not found in either Whippets or Borzoi, this further proves the inclusion of
other breeds in the creation of the original
“Longhaired Whippet” as defined by Walter
Wheeler. Based on the research done in the early
80’s by the AWC Special Review Committee, and
genetic proof of the MDR1 gene in offspring from
Wheeler’s dogs, the AWC feels that the proponents
of this designer breed need to stop promoting these
animals as a variety of Whippet as well as change
their name so that there is no implication that they
are a variety of a recognized dog breed.
Further, the AWC Code of Ethics for members
states:
“Each member should understand and accept the
breed standard as presented by the American Whippet Club and should, whenever breeding a litter or
allowing the use of a stud dog, direct all possible
efforts to producing individuals of quality that conform to that standard. All other puppies or adults
offered for sale shall be registered, or eligible for
registration, and the breeder or owner of the dog
shall be in full accordance with the rules of the
American Kennel Club regarding record keeping,
registration, sale, and transfer of dogs.”
In line with this, regardless of today's culture of rapidly appearing mixed-breed designer dogs, be they
puggles or labradoodles, or a small, longhaired
sighthound cross, the Board of the AWC is tasked:
(a) to unite those people interested in the breeding, showing, racing, coursing and generally improving the Whippet breed for the purpose of exerting
effectually a combined influence upon all matters
affecting the
breed
(b) to urge members and breeders to accept the
standard of the breed as approved by the American
Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by
which Whippets shall be judged.

WRAP Report: Volunteers Needed in Texas
By Brigitte Greenberg
For the last two years, Whippet Rescue and Placement volunteer
Dianna Johnson has had as many as three Rescue dogs come in at
a time. With Johnson covering everywhere from San Antonio to the
Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, huge swaths of the second largest
state in the country are going uncovered. Things have become so
desperate at times that WRAP is being forced to rely on other rescue groups to help get dogs out of shelters, transport and even
sometimes foster Whippets.
Regional adviser Nancy Billups is north in Amarillo, and WRAP
also has volunteers in Austin, Garland, Granbury, and Lantana, but
more are desperately needed, Billups said. For Johnson, who has
seen the most rescue action, it can be frustrating.
“If a dog is in a shelter, WRAP can have all the cash in the
world, but it's useless to me if I can't get there and can't get help,”
Johnson said. “I can't spend 14 hours on the road. I can't drop my
job and go.”
Johnson said she believes that Whippet breeders in Texas can
help, not just by making cash donations to WRAP, but also by
pitching in to assist with transport and fostering Rescues now and
again.
“I get it that people are busy or whatnot, but my thing is, if you
breed Whippets, I'm saying you can't just send cash, not in Texas,”
Johnson said. “My slant has always been it's a way of giving back
to the community.”
Billups said the influx of dogs bounces back and forth between
the Dallas/Ft. Worth, south Texas areas and Houston. “We have
had a lack of volunteers,” said Billups, noting that she has taken in
five dogs and Johnson as many as 20 in the last year.
Billups and Johnson attribute the problem to puppy mills, a few
breeders who don't adequately screen homes and then refuse to
take their dogs back, and the economy. Between breeders who are
trying to make a living off of breeding, and buyers who may lose
their jobs, the situation has become untenable, Billups said. She
noted that some breeders in Texas always have puppies available.
The rewards for helping a dog can be immeasurable, Johnson said.
She cited an older Whippet named Abby as one example. She
came into Rescue in rough shape, after having been abandoned.
Even at 11½ and after being treated for heartworm, she was
adopted by a woman named Ashley and Abby lived out the rest of
her life as a beloved pet.
“What Ashley said to me was, ‘I was blessed to have her in my
home and I would do it again in a heartbeat,’ and then I lost it
because that's how I feel. A lot of dogs come to you when they're
old and have had a hard life and you want to give them some comfort. With Abby, I was able to do that. That is the sole reason why
I do this. It's those cases because it just renews my spirit to see a
dog blossom like that and to give someone that joy.”
If you are in Texas and can help or know someone who can
help, please contact Billups at (806) 206-6470 or by email at
[email protected] to get more information.
