Whippets

PUPPY  

1. Aldridge’s SELINKO ARABELLA at PONDIVER – 6 1/2 month old black with white trim bitch. She had a pleasant head with attentive eyes, incisors over with room and correctly placed canines. She provided an elegant silhouette with ok shoulders, a graceful arch over the loins and correctly bent stifles. She moved cleanly and covered the ground easily. She was my BEST PUPPY IN BREED.

2. Rochford’s VELANDOR MR JINGLES - 8 month old fawn with white trim dog. This youngster still has a lot of maturing to achieve his best. He had a gentle disposition with a cheeky look in his eyes. Correct bite. He had a long neck with decent shoulders, straight front, well muscled body with strong second thigh and stifles well bent, in need of a little more bone throughout. Moved true coming and going.  

3. Toner’s DODDRIDGE JUST FOR KICKS.

JUNIOR 

1. Earnshaw’s PALMIK I KNOW WHAT I LIKE at MOONSHADOW – 13 month old fawn brindle dog with mask & white trim with lots to like. He had a long, tapering head, correct bite and oval, alert eyes. He had a pleasing body line with balance, having nicely laid back shoulders and sweeping hind angulation with well let down hocks. He had good strong bone without being too coarse. He moved fluidly taking big, easy strides while holding his topline. This youngster’s virtues earned him BEST OF BREED

2. Wells’ SELINKO STARGAZER – 14 month old blue brindle with white trim dog. He had a lovely shaped head tapering to a strong muzzle with correct dentition. Long neck, deep chest, would benefit from a little more layback of shoulder and fill in front, well muscled, firm back and good hind angulation. Moved well.

OPEN  

1. Nunneley’s KELSMONK KIND OF MAGIC – 5 year old blue fawn dog. He had a strong underjaw, correct bite and small, thin ears. This dog had smooth body lines, with adequate shoulders, strong wide chest, straight front and good bend of stifle. He was true coming and going while holding a level topline. Pleased to award him RESERVE BEST OF BREED.
