My husband was away for the weekend, so I decided to try
13 month-old Riff into the bedroom overnight for the first
time. His 4 yr. old “brother”, Pell, has been sleeping in our
room for over a year, & never even tried to get on the bed
(very un- whippet-like, I know). Riff jumped straight on,
& curled up peacefully. I had left some of my husband’s clean
laundry on his side of the bed; I thought Riff had a quiet
night, but clearly he did some squirming, as this is what he
had on when we got up in the morning.

I hope everyone had a successful and enjoyable time in
your chosen venue – conformation, racing, coursing, agility, et cetera – over the summer season. It’s now that time
of the year when you can sit back, relive the fun you had
and plan for next year’s adventures.
Just wanted to remind everyone to keep the July 5th
weekend open, as the NWCC National will be held in
conjunction with 3 other specialties over a 2-day period.
That’s right, in addition to our National, there will also be
a NWCC regional show, the Lower Mainland Whippet
Association specialty and the Whippet Club of BC
Specialty, all at Aldergrove Lake Park in Langley, BC –
4 sets of points for whippets over 2 days. More information will be forthcoming, but please do keep those dates
( July 5 & 6, 2014) open, as this will be one you won’t want
to miss.
I’d like to welcome new member Lynda Shearer from
Kamloops (sponsored by yours truly). Lynda has her first
whippet (although has been in another breed for more
than 20 years) and has been enjoying success in the show
ring with her. WW
Janet Juzkiw, Secretary
Fall is settling in fast and bringing to an end those
gorgeous summer days we have so enjoyed with our
whippets. Hard to believe that only a scant 8 weeks
ago, beautiful weather greeted beautiful whippets at the
CWA racing organization’s annual National Race
Meet and Fun Match weekend held August 23-25 in
Aldergrove/Abbotsford, hosted by the local club,
Racing For Fun. We welcomed participants from
Washington, California, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut. An amazing entry of
60+ whippets gathered on Friday for the Fun Match,
judged by renowned breeder and handler Phoebe Booth
of Shamasan Whippets in Connecticut. Phoebe not
only judged the dogs, she provided a verbal critique at
the end of each class, explaining her placements. It was
an amazing learning experience for all participants
(old and new)! Phoebe’s choice for Best in Match was
Mary Downing’s “Murphy”- Am.Can.Ch.Whimsy’s
Over The Moon, TRP, DPC, Best Opposite was “Kai”
- Am.Can.GCh. Whimsy’s Swiftsure Kilo Kai, FCH,
TRP, DPC, PR, (Buchholz/Downing), Best Veteran
was Blair Shinski’s Ch. Kindred Monarch Rules, FCH,
and Best Puppy to Snow Hill Mind Over Matter,
owned by Kellee Livingston from California.
Following the match, we enjoyed a relaxed evening
BBQ with new and old friends.

by AmGCH Shamasan Island of Imagination, PR,
TRP, DPC (from Connecticut) in 2nd, the veteran
dog Ch. Kindred Monarch Rules, FCH in 3rd and the
puppy, Snow Hill Mind Over Matter in 4th place. That
evening we all enjoyed a superb feast of BBQ’d salmon
in a wonderful relaxed setting at Swiftsure, followed by
awards presentations.
Sunday morning came too quickly for the tired RFF
workers, but we powered through another wonderful
race meet, with an entry of 55 adults. Bolt again reigned
supreme, followed by Kamikaze in 2nd, with local

dogs soon proved to be the top contenders and when
the dust had settled, Jean Balint’s superstar, The Mighty

witnessing these phenomenal AND beautiful athletes
at their finest.
In other BC news, we send congratulations to BC’s first
Can.Grand Champion – Am.Can.GCH Whimsy’s

(Dorsey) in October.
I have very little other news – except to stay that BC
is very excited to host the 2014 NWCC National
Specialty show, the first weekend of July. Plans are in
the works for FOUR specialty shows that weekend
and we promise everyone a most memorable weekend.
Cathie Brown (Bluestreak Whippets from the UK) is
our National judge and we’ll hope to announce the rest
of the judging panel soon.
Stay tuned! WW

If you have a talent for

Thank heavens for Kate Darbyshire. Again she
is the only one who sent me any brags. The first
one came in August.
My Pell (OTCH Clearhounds Pell Mell, RE, FCH)
just finished his UDX this past weekend, getting his
last 2 legs (of 5 required) on Aug. 18, only 5 months
after finishing his UDX - quickest any of my dogs
have done it. And he threw in a High in Trial,
to top it off.
He is only 1 Open point short of his MOTCH...
barring horrible luck, should have that within the
month. Maybe even before his 4th birthday, on
the 29th.
And such a sweet boy all round.
Cheers, Kate
Thank you Kate and keep them coming. Surely you
can find something else to do with Pell? WW

the origins of whippet kennel names
Breeders were asked: What was the inspiration for your kennel name?
Ableaim
Beauroi
Ableaim - a totally made up word, originally for our Gordon Setters but since both breeds
- Gordons & Whippets are performance breeds, the name works for both. We were
AIM-ing to breed dogs that were ABLE to preform the function they were originally bred
for - ABLEAIM. Plus it was short, back in the day you could only have 25 letters in the
registered name and it started with an A. With most lists being in alphabetical order,
ours would be listed toward the top.
We breed Whippets in Australia under the ‘Beauroi’ prefix. My mum, who was the
founder of our kennel, created Beauroi in 1978 originally when she showed Bichons before introducing the breed we now continue to breed and show. Our prefix is a combination of ‘Beau’ meaning beautiful in French and ‘roi’ meaning king in Latin.
Berwicklaw
Amigo
This is from the town we live near ( North Berwick ) and the Law which is an extinct
volcano and a local land mark.
AMIGO = Friend... really boring, I know! My first Whippet was named Kachina.. so wanted
it to reflect the SW where I lived.
Branten
Aperture
My future kennel name will be “Branten”. Which pretty much means “The steep”
and is a modified version of my family name Einebrant!
Aperture, because of photography stuff.
Aslan
From the Narnia Chronicles. Was the name of the first dog I owned outright (a dobe).
Became my prefix.
Aurifer
It’s a latin word that means “becoming golden” which includes many aspects of my
whippets: color, character and sometimes a little success.
Azure
Bretica Whippets
Mine is my two children’s names together Brett and Jessica. Bretica.
Brythborne
Brythborne - Bryth(an archaic old English word for the people of britain) and borne (born).
Cali
“Cali” is the name of my first whippet, she never showed or earned a title of any kind,
but she got me started and will always be my “Cali Princess”!!!!
I literally got my kennel name from a Dictionary. Yes, I am that old, we were still using
dictionaries. The CKC had a list of all the kennel names and I tried about 15 choices and
they were all taken. I opened the dictionary and started in the “A”. It made sense that I
wanted to be at the start of the alphabet. I came to the word, “AZURE” and thought about
it. I love the colour and the word is really short so I have lots of choices to add names. I
applied and got it.
Carry-On Whippets
Baccarat
I breed Whippets in Australia under the prefix of “Chakrata”. The prefix originates from
a place in India as well as the name of a merchant ship my late husband sailed on as
a Marine Engineer. The ship was part of the now extinct British India fleet of merchant
ships. The kennel was formed in 1975 originally with Basset Hounds, then Pointers and
now Whippets since 1996.
Baccarat - 1) it’s the finest crystal in the world. 2) breeding dogs is definitely a gamble.
3) It was used by good friends who had Corgis. When they stopped using it, I took it over
because I liked it.
Our kennel name “Carry-ON” arose from taking a hiatus from dogs. Used to be Baywood
Kennels. When we decided to start back in the 80’s with whippets, mom thought that
Carry-On seemed fitting for us Carrying on with dogs.
Chakrata
>>
Chapleton whippets
....arises from the historic road ‘Chapleton Lane’ which we lived on when I had my first
litter....
Charlamar
Charlamar was made from the first 4 letters of my first name and the middle name of
my husband, John Lamar Lee. We coined it in the early 60’s when we were breeding and
showing Dachshunds.
Chasing Lane’s Whippets
It started when I was just born; my uncles were both breeders and did racing / coursing
with their Whippets. My younger uncle stopped when he got divorced. Around the age of
12 I went for the first time to the racing track and I loved although I did not see directly
the beauty of the wonderful breed. In that period my parents wanted us to have a dogs to
grow up. My uncle had a whippet, Evie, which was almost finished with her racing career
and so she came to us. Just to see how it would go and if there was a connection with this
breed. And yes it was - Evie ( full name Dobre v.d. Fijola Hoeve) stayed with us and we got
a connection that I never had with the other animals we had. Then she got very ill and
died of bone cancer. My uncle promised me my first Whippet and two years later I got two
Whippets - Evie’Elite v.d. Fijola Hoeve and Kabora v.d. Fijola Hoeve. Gijsje was Evie’s Elite
and daughter of Dobre; she was an amazing dog which taught me a lot. She was already
7, so an oldie for the sport, so that’s why I got Kabora, call name Bora. She was my first
whippet but I had to prove to myself that I could train a dog and had Gijs for coursing and
we won and in that time frame I had some nieces which also had Whippets. Soon I was
involved with starting and handling Whippets bred by my uncle on the racing track. After
two years when I finished school, I got Olympique v.d. Fijola Hoeve (Jessie). Track racing
was not that important for me, so we did coursing and with good results, Evie’s Elite, Impala, Kabora, Marathon and Olympique v.d. Fijola Hoeve came to us. My uncle took some
steps back and I trained them for coursing - all of them are champions or multi finalist/
field champion! My uncle started to ask to help thinking which male he should use more
but before that I got a map full of copies of Whippet pedigrees till 1940. He said if you
want to help with breeding, you need to know all these pedigrees - it was more than 1000
copies for the Netherlands and some Belgium and German Whippets. Too bad we didn’t
have TWA back then. Although I have learned to make connections faster than others.
My uncle asked me and some others about the bloodlines and they were surprised that
I knew almost every dog. That was the signal that I could help and be co-owner of the
kennel name. It’s very simple - the name Fi is from the first two letters of my uncles and
my last name Fidom. My aunt’s name was jong so he used her two first letters Fijo and
La finished it. They lived on a hoeve (something like a farm but smaller), so van de Fijola
Hoeve was the name.
tv and I was caught by this name. If I translate it to dutch it means hunting on the track.
So that’s the story behind our kennel name. Our first five litters are on the track and they
do well. They aren’t the best but they fight for every inch to win. Character and trying to
keep some old bloodlines is my number one priority together with health. To set up this
kennel, I invested a lot of money to get bloodlines from all over the world - I have some
American, Serbian, German and two dutch, 7 in total and some co-owned. I am 33 and I
hope to give something to this special breed so they can live on in the future. My sister
and parents also have Whippets - it’s all in the family.
Chelynnah
Chelynnah is after our 3 ‘foundation’ bitches, Chelsea (our whippet mix), Savannah our
first whippet, and Telyn (aka Teya) the first we bred from. 4 letters from each running into
and overlapping. Chel from Chelsea, elyn from Telyn, nnah from Savannah.
Coolquay
Coolquay is a small town in County Dublin, Ireland that my husband Richard’s mom’s
family hails from.
Crescendo Whippets
My family got a family crest (emblem) in the 17th century. “Semper-crescendo” in
meaning of “steady growing” is written on this crest.
DEHK
Stands for Damn Expensive Hobby Kennel. I figure it was entirely suitable!!!!!!
Fireworks
Our foundation bitch was Ch. Ragtime Firestarter, FCh., CGN so we used Fireworks to
honour her.
Forgetmenot
Forgetmenot (latin myosotis) has always been one of my favorite flowers.. it’s a
flower that is small, often goes unnoticed, but when you look at it closely, you realize how
beautiful of a little flower it is and get to appreciate more its presence and beauty in your
garden, especially when in large numbers. Same for the whippet. Often first time people
see a whippet they are uninterested of the breed (not furry or fluffy), but as they get to
know one or share their life with one, they realize how beautiful of a breed it is and can’t
live without it, especially in large numbers. It came easy for me as a kennel name.
But my uncle stopped completely and I thought this was his legacy, something he asked
me to help. So I asked for my own kennel name to bring something to this breed and
bring my knowledge of combinations. I am always searching for something different. It
took three months when I got the kennel name Chasing Lane’s - I heard this one time on
>>
Galeforce
Kamada
I wanted a kennel name that brought speed and power to mind, so I started thinking of
things in nature that were fast and strong. I also wanted something that referenced the
ocean (but Swiftsure was already taken :) ).
It’s me, KAMADA.....KAthleen MArie DAvenport!
So I looked at Galeforce -galeforce winds being just below ‘violent storm’ on the
Beaufort Scale, and it included my first name.
KARASAR...combination of names of members of my family.
My name - Gale - is often misspelled as that spelling is not the usual spelling for a girl,
and I thought that having Galeforce as my kennel name would be a good hint on how
to spell my name. Alas that plan has occasionally backfired and my kennel name gets
spelled Gailforce :( .
Gomorronsol Whippets
In books written by mrs and mr Sandberg lives Little Spook in the Morning Sun Castle Gomorronsol in swedish. When we sent in the papers to our kennel club we realized
there’s something called copyright. With fright we quickly sent a question to the authors
and they answered back with a letter the next day! They were thrilled and wished us good
luck!
Grovenor
Grovenor.... My mother grew up on Grosvenor Rd. in Cleveland Heights, OH. We dropped
the “s” because the “s” is silent (British pronunciation) and to save space back in the day
when AKC was very strict about the length of registered names.
Hieland
Going to my Scottish roots on my mother’s side.
Highbridge
Ours comes from our last name. Takahashi means a high or tall bridge, so Highbridge!
The Hounds of Freckashpeng
Our kennel name, although lots of people think it is German or some other language,
isn’t - it is simply derived from the names of our first borzoi and cat - it is pronounced
using three syllables, Frec - Kash - Peng; our borzoi FRECkles, BuKASHka, and our cat
DePENGa. It is always fun explain where we came up with it as well as how people try to
pronounce it, once explained and broken down, it really is quite simple.
Jade
James and Debi. First 2 letters of each of our names.
Jammin’
My first performance bred whippet came from a litter that had a running shoe theme.
I picked Nike Air Jammin’ (Michael Jordan) as her name as I hoped she could fly! We
stuck with the name Jammin’ (my husband thinks it’s awesome, as it’s not too “fluffy”).
Karasar
Kentruth
Kentruth was registered with the Canadian Kennel Club back in the 1970’s when I was
working at Sirhan Kennels. ‘Kentruth’ comes from a mom & pop grocery store Kent &
Ruth on the island of Barbados.
Kimera
Kim and Erin but an A at the end sounded better, Erikim did not sound or look as good.
Hounds of Kotan or deKotan - Kotan per google translations mean Simple elegance in
Japanese or something of the like.
Lakota
My grandmother was 100% Lakota Sioux; in honor of grandma Lakota means in
translations brothers who band together.
Lepus
“Lepus” is latin for hare. Nothing more appropriate than that, although I would have
preferred rabbit as that is more to the point of the species that whippets should be
hunting, however the latin for that is cuniculus, which sounds AWFUL and has too many
letters! LOL
Licketysplit
Licketysplit came from my first two foundation whippets, one was split faced, the other
very face-kissing type, a licker. And the go Licketysplit sorta means go fast like a whippet. That’s how I came up the Licketysplit Whippets in 1989.
Limerick
...started with our IWs... our foundation bitch was from Limerick, Ireland.
Longrun
Longrun - It just came to me.... in a dream.... Seriously, I toyed around with a few different
name and/or word combos, seeking something that would reflect both who we are and
our chosen breed. “Longrun” was the first one on the list, and I just kept going back to it
until I gave up on finding something I would like better. Sometimes that first little burst of
creativity is the best. ;-)
>>
Lookout
Merci Isle
My second whippet (first was a rescue) I named Lola as a call name and since she had
such a bold personality, her registered name was Lookout for Lola of Danjere. (Danjere
was her breeder’s kennel name.) When I bred her to Zorro (Wheatland Orange Crush,
who was the top NOTRA dog at the time), I was entering the world as a first time whippet breeder with hopes of some of my puppies making a mark, so I went with “Lookout”
for my kennel name. I often kid though, that I’m always saying “lookout” to my underfoot
dogs so often that I used that for my kennel name.
My first whippet, Verdi and his sister Pandora came from a breeder who lived in Mercer
Island, Washington state.
Lorien
Lorien, originally for Borzoi & Deerhounds: established 1973.....after reading the trilogy....
no movies in the early 70’s.
Lost Creek
My mother was Phantom Lake, mostly borzoi. She let people outside our family use the
name and i wanted to be exclusive. I lived near lost lake and there was a seasonal creek
running through my property. Hence lost creek. Also was briefly Breakaway but that is
another tale. Phantom Lake was founded in about 1968, Breakaway 1980, Lost Creek 1985.
Lovat Whippets
Lovat is the Scottish town that the clan my husbands ancestors originated from (McKim’s
came from the clan Fraser).
Lynallan
Milescross
My mother was a hippie of a decidedly romantic bent (she named her children Guinevere
& Heather) and she raised us with an appreciation of the English past, most particularly
the Pre-Raphaelites and those other Victorians who looked back upon the medieval era
as an inspiration. Mom especially liked the medieval border ballad “Tam Lin”, as set
down in the 1800s by Matthew Percy, who was kind of an early ethnologist, scouring the
Scottish countryside for the old oral tales that were dying out by his time. Tam Lin is all
about a plucky lass named Janet who falls in love with Tam Lin, who had been stolen
away by the queen of fairies and was trapped in the faerie world, and her adventures in
winning Tam Lin back to the mortal world. In the song there is a line about how the
fairy queen and her court had to bide at Milescross. Milescross is an archaic term for
crossroads, which were magical places to the Britons, places that were firmly neither
of this world or the other, where the normal rules did not apply. The whole concept of a
magical place that was not beholden to the real or the fantasy world sounded really cool
to my seven year old ears and I decided that when I owned my country estate upon which
I would be a world class greyhound breeder, I would name both estate and kennel
“Milescross”. Thirty six years later, I don’t have the estate nor do I breed greyhounds,
but it is a memorable (if a bit long) whippet kennel name.
Moonbeam
Nothing exciting or interesting about ours, as it is just a combination of mine and my
husbands middle names. “Lynallan”
Our chihuahua is named Moonbeam (Beamer) - we were trying to come up with a kennel
name and we decided to go with Moonbeam and not many people would know Beamer is
where we got it.
Manorcourt
Mossbawnhill
I used to play on the grounds of a Manor house complete with moat as a kid. These
grounds were left to my home town to be always maintained as a Park. Our house was
built along the driveway of the Manor House. Years later my Mom and Dad retired to a
street called Manorcourt, there was that name popping up again so I adopted it for the
Whippet Kennel.
Mossbawn is the name of the townland where we live & the hill just behind our
property is locally known as Mossbawn Hill...so we just combined them & voila!
Mariner
Mariner was chosen for a few reasons... my other hobby is aquarium fish, we live surrounded by water and Shelton has worked his entire professional career for Newport
News Shipbuilding in the Aircraft Carrier and Nuclear Submarine programs. It has a
good classic feel to it and it fits!
Maxnme
My kennel name is Maxnme. My husband goes by Max and I am the me part.
So Max n me.
Nemuno Delta
“Nemuno Delta” (“delta of river Nemunas “, because of the region I spent most of
my childhood summers and i love to go there as an adult : ))
Nonstopp
We came up with Nonstopp when one of our friends commented that our whippets
were like our Border collies - they just never stopped going. I added the second P
so that we can register it if we ever feel the need.
Nota’s Crew
A small contribution from a small kennel in sweden named Nota’s Crew. The name
comes from my foundation bitch who is called Nota and since it was with her it all started
>>
it felt like a suitable name to always honor her.
Poeta
Sailaway
Poet is my foundation dog, so for my kennel name I use Poeta which is latin for poet.
I like a short kennel name.
Sailaway: my husband and I had a 36 foot sailboat and dreamed of buying a larger boat
and “sailing away” but instead we bought a house (on dry land), bred the whippet that
Bill Turpin had graciously allowed me to own even though I was only 19 years old and
Sailaway whippets was born! That whippet was Ch. Renfield Rose of Course and 7
generations later we have Ch. Sailaway Time Traveller ARX with many, many champions in
between!
Ragtag
My first showdog was a Komondor, and, while I never bred her, I came up with Ragtag
as a kennel name. Koms go through a very umm... messy looking phase when changing
from puppy coat to a fully corded, adult coat, and Ragtag just suited. Then I had Tibetan
Terriers for years and years, and they are neat little ragamuffins, so I kept the name.
When I came over to the Darkside I asked around if anyone had used Ragtag with
whippets, and no one had so I was pleased to be able to keep it.
Rainier Whippets
I just named my kennel after Mt. Rainier, the most beautiful mountain in the world.
Raybar
RAY & BARbara Parsons = RAYBAR
Redcliffe
In the sixties I stayed in a cottage on a farm named Redcliffe. It was when I had my first
Golden and Great Pyrenees. Then I met Ivan from Prince Edward Island and with the red
cliffs there, the name just came naturally from two fronts.
Regalia
I chose Regalia for the meaning of the word ~ the ceremonial and symbolic objects and
clothing used and worn by royalty! I think whippets fit the royalty part!
Rockabye
My first whippet was Prudence of Conevan. Mrs. Conway-Evans was a well known breeder
in England and my Mother Mrs. Joyce Anson bought Prudence for my 7th birthday present.
My Mother’s kennel name was Sonna.. Anson re-spelled. I had quite a few whippets by the
time I was 12 and Rockabye was a prefix that my Aunt gave me in the late 40’s. When we
came to Canada in 1957 I brought Rockabye Peace Pipe and she will be in back of many
pedigrees. I have a lovely red fawn girl keeping my feet warm right now.
Margaret Wigg was a neighbour of ours in England and her Kennel name was Tinribs.
Her black whippets were wonderful and I had Tinribs Tiger Rag to get black into Rockabye
bloodlines.
Rothschild
Rothschild - I am obsessed with giraffes & whippets favor giraffes in so many ways.
Runamok
Runamok - because they do. At least ours do. Plus, we are both lure coursing
afficenados (we met lure coursing).
Serendipity
I started in greyhounds but pretty quickly fell in love with and started studying whippets
too, though I had no immediate plans to get one. I was all set to get a long-planned
greyhound puppy but I had a falling out with the breeder and the whole thing fell apart the
week I was supposed to get him. About a week later, I got my new issue of Whippet News
and there was an ad for my “dream” litter. I was pretty sure the puppies would be all
spoken for, but since I had nothing to lose I contacted the breeder anyway, and as it turned
out, there was a beautiful bitch puppy available who was everything I ever dreamed of.
As painful as it was losing that greyhound puppy, if that hadn’t happened, I would never
have had my beautiful Wren, and though I’m confident I would have switched to whippets
eventually anyway, that was the start of a whole new adventure for me. It seemed like
serendipity and I thought it was the perfect kennel name.
Sonsteby
SONSTEBY, my Grandmothers’ maiden name and a town/village in Norway where her
mother and father were from.
SpecialD
Even though I don’t have any whippet litters with my kennel name - YET - SpecialD is our
kennel name because my first Dalmatian was sent to me via Northwest Airlines and on
the top of the crate was a huge sticker Special Delivery. That she was and that became
our kennel name.
Stormhold
Inspired by one of our favourite movies/book Stardust. Stormhold is a magical kingdom
with characters full of humor, playfulness, determination and love, the traits that we
adore in whippets.
Stabmeldys
My kennel name “Stabmeldys” is a Lithuanian word that means “Idolater”/”Idol
Worshipper” and also refers to a pagans and the representatives of old non-Christian
beliefs in common - so this word has very deep and almost sacred meaning to me
being a part of my life and ideology...
Surrey Hill
My mother started the Whippet breeding program when we lived in a house on
a hill at the end of Surrey Trail..yeah, boring, I know. But I inherited it.
>>
Swiftsure
WildAbout Whippets
Swiftsure is a premiere yacht race held in Victoria, BC every year. When I was a teenager,
one of my friends suggested it would be a great kennel name for Whippets – swift and
sure. I had to agree!
Cheesiest kennel name ever... WildAbout Whippets! Couldn’t think of a kennel name and
11 years ago I loved the tv show Wild On E. Couldn’t really name my kennel Wild On Whippets (ha!), so it became WildAbout. I really didn’t think I would have more than one litter
so the kennel name wasn’t super important at the time. I think I would have picked
a different kennel name had I known back then that I would still be breeding ten years
later. But no denying it, I’m wild about whippets!
Templar Whippets
My last name is Knight and my first champion was Paris Templar of Tiber. So it makes
total sense..
Terrena whippets
Mine is a bit silly but I like the sound of it - “Terrena whippets”. Terri & Alena (my partner)
= Terrena
Timbrel
Timbrel is an old English name for a tambourine – since whippets originated in England...
I also typically name all of my dogs after song titles... so the whole musical theme ties
together.
Treadway
Bonnie Gobel of Ragtime whippets had hosted me for a weekend of dog shows. We were
up late watching snow falling outside and old movies on TV. An old Buster Keaton silent
movie was playing and the hero in the movie was named Rollo Treadway. We both joked
about how that would be a great dog name and what a special dog Rollo would be... made
us forget we were almost snowed in!
Unsinkable
Our kennel name is Unsinkable, because our first whippet was named Cheerio and the old
commercials for the cereal called it “the unsinkable oh”.
Velocity
Speaks for itself..
Vivace
I am a musical person and wanted something to depict that. I liked Allegreo, but that
was already taken. I liked Veloce (<Depicting speed>Ve LOW Chay) but figured that with
my luck I would end up with a really slow line of Whippets and I could hear people saying
”Hey! look! There goes one of them thar Ve SLOW Chay Whippets. So I settled on Vivace
(vee Vah Chay) which means bright and lively. I liked the way that it sounded especially
with my chosen name for Julia (vivace Veni, Vidi, Vici) That’s my story and I am stickin to it!
Westmeath
Westmeath - because the whippet originated as being the poor man’s race horse, for
hunting rabbits in the UK. At that time, the Irish were not that wealthy, and I’m part Irish.
Westmeath, is a county in Ireland, known for its lush farms.
Wildfire
I selected Wildfire as my kennel name because Whippets literally swept into my life, and
spread like a Wildfire, I started with litter mates and my love for these dogs took over seemed a logical choice for me.
Wildhare
Wildhare is what we used. When we got back into Whippets we went for 1 girl and got 2.
Dwight and I kind of go off on Wildhares sometimes. Thought Wildhare fit both the dogs
and us also. Had to spell it to fit the Whippets chasing hares.
Windsong
Windsong- for the perfume! “windsong stays on your mind”
Vrymeer
Dutch (Vrijmeer) for the lake in James Michener’s classic “the Covenant”.
It means “Lake of Freedom” and being out on the water fishing is our escape.

We go twice a year to Vernon for the WCOBC
Lure trial. We decided that we really wanted
and needed a group photo, it was a challenge to
try to get dogs looking the right way as well as
humans to look the right way!!!
The group photo was taken by the photographer
Linda Mcrae at the September 28-29th trial.
All the whippets in this photo (except for two)
are descended from Carole Adley’s line, Hilerica.

I’ll tell you the thing that is causing me to lose it again and again,
and then I have to go back outside and stay there for a while.
After the meeting, I said to my (extraordinary) boss, *look, I’ve
gotta go home for the rest of the day, I think. Jake and Gus Pong
are inside some elk ribcages, and my dad is coming tonight, so
I’ve got to get them out somehow.* And he said, pale and hugeeyed, *Annie, how did you explain the elk to the clients?*
The poor, poor man thought I had the carcasses brought to work
with me. For some reason, I find this deeply funny.
Anne V, later.....
So what we did was put the ribcages (containing dogs) on tarps
cooler outside the window, and push out the screen. What woke
me was Gus Pong, howling in frustration from inside the ribcage,
very close to my head, combined with feverish little grunts from
Jake, who was standing on the nightstand, bracing himself against
the curtains with remarkably bloody little feet.
Here are some things I have learned this weekend:
1. almond milk removes elk blood from curtains and pillowcases,
2. We can all exercise superhuman strength when it comes to
getting elk carcasses out of our yard,
3. The sight of elk ribcages hurtling over the fence really frightens
and drag them around to the side yard, where I figured they

I went to the airport. Came home, no visible elk, no visible dogs.
Peeked around the shrubs, and there they were, still in the elk.
By this time, they had gnawed out some little portholes between

What I am is really grateful that they didn’t actually get the
damn thing in the window, which is clearly the direction they
were going in. And that the nice deputy didn’t arrest me for
some of the ribs, and you got the occasional very frightening

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES FOR YOUR HOUND
TIP #1
Vitamin E is great for your dog’s dry skin. You can give your
pup a massage by applying vitamin E oil directly to the skin, a soaking
bath with vitamin E added to the water, or you give a vitamin E pill.
If you give the vitamin orally, check with your vet on the recommended
dosage for your specific dog breed.
TIP #2
Flavorless electrolyte-replacing liquids, such as sports waters
or pediatric drinks, not only help athletes to replenish fluids, and babies
to rehydrate after an illness, they can also supply your sick pooch’s body
with much needed fluids after a bout of diarrhea or vomiting.
Consult your veterinarian as to the appropriate dosage amounts when
giving these types of liquids to your dog.
TIP #3
Plain yogurt is a healthy treat for your dog. Just as with
humans, the live acidophilus in the yogurt keeps the good bacteria in
your dog’s intestines in balance, so that bad bacteria is swiftly knocked
out. If your dog is on antibiotics, a little yogurt will also help keep yeast
infections at bay (a common side-effect of antibiotic treatment).
TIP #4
Chamomile tea uses the natural disinfecting effects of the
chamomile plant to settle upset dog bellies.
It is recommended for gas and anxiety.
It can also alleviate minor skin irritations.
Just chill in the fridge and spray onto
the affected area on the dog’s raw
skin. Your dog should feel an
immediate soothing effect as the
chilled tea kills the yeast and/or
bacteria on the skin. A warm
(not hot) tea bag can also be
used for soothing infected or
irritated eyes.
TIP #5
An itchy dog can be an annoyance, especially as it goes around
scratching itself on any piece of furniture it can reach. Finely ground
oatmeal is a time-honored remedy for irritated skin. You can use baby
oatmeal cereal or grind it yourself in a food processor. Stir the oatmeal
into a bath of warm water and let your dog soak. Dogs with skin
allergies, infections, and other diseases which cause itchiness have been
shown to gain immediate relief.
TIP #6
Hounds are bound to suffer from wounds and the occasional
unexplained swelling. Try treating with Epsom salt soaks and heat packs.
A bath consisting of Epsom salts and warm water can help reduce the
swelling and the healing time, especially when combined with prescribed
antibiotics and veterinary supervision.
If soaking your dog in an Epsom salt bath twice a day for five minutes
isn’t convenient or practical, a homemade heat pack using a clean towel
drenched in the same warm-water solution can be applied to wounds for
the same effect.
TIP #7
Does your dog have fleas? Try some borax powder.
It will work wonders on fleas by poking holes in their crunchy insect
exoskeletons. A good way to make sure those parasitic suckers get
annihilated is to sprinkle the borax on your floor, and then sweep or
vacuum up the excess. The borax crystals left behind will kill the fleas.
For the dog, try a simple solution of lemon water. Fleas are repelled by
citrus, so this can work both as a flea preventive, and for making your
dog smell clean and refreshing. A useful solution can be made by pouring boiled water over lemons and allowing them to steep overnight.
This solution can then be applied all over your dog’s skin using a fresh
spray bottle. Brewer’s yeast can also be given as part of a regular diet in
powdered form, sprinkled over the dog food, or in tablet form. WW
