National Whippet Association

National Whippet Association Championship Show

10th August 2025 Bitches

It was an honour to be asked to judge this lovely show, I had a fantastic day with the most perfect weather, it ran like clockwork and my stewards made everything incredibly easy. I wanted to thank everyone for their lovely entries and I was truly spoilt for choice with such lovely bitches to judge throughout the day. I was delighted with my line up and when it came to the challenge I felt I stood looking at some very typey girls which made the day so much better. It made the day that bit extra special that my co-judge was my auntie Helen Wayman and was pleased that we agreed on all of the overall winners.
