The month of June

Spring has been quiet for us.

Our Gabby (Ch. Forgetmenot Gabrielle's Beauty) is now in the USA with Shelley Kruger (Fanfare whippets) where she will be shown this summer to finish her American championship title. Two weeks ago she won 2 points. Thank you Shelley for the great care!

Otherwise for us, not too many dog shows, except one, last weekend June 12-13, where our 2 co-bred Henry X Gaia daughters (Ch. Talk of the Nation de Sud X Ch. Forgetmenot Glamore), were shown at a Canadian whippet specialty, where:
a) Jetstream Butterscoth Ripple won BOB from the 6-9 months old class (entry of 42 whippets, including top US special)! That was an very exciting win;
b) her sister Jetstream Forgetmenot Tigerpaw won the next day RWB from the bred-by class in strong competition, this was also a hound specialty (see our dog page to see pictures of this girl).

Both girls have ads on Ewhippetzine if you want to see them.

Yesterday we took a walk with our old 12 years old Juliette and her 3 triple-trouble 4.5 months old great grand-kids. As you can see she has her hands (paws) full!!! (she is the second one from the right)

Ch. Forgetmenot Glamore's 2 beautiful daughters @ Jetstream

The weather is finally a lot nicer here in Canada so I decided to go see the 2 girls that Lorraine Burch and I kept from the Henry X Gaia litter. (Henry being the beautiful Ch. Talk of The Nation de Sud and Gaia being Ch. Forgetmenot Glamore)... Last time I saw the 2 girls, they were 3 months old and it was the winter so I could only see them in the house. So I was very happy to finally be able to go see them today. My god, I wasn't disappointed! What beautys they are! Both of them striking, different, both soooo striking. I can predict and mark my words here, that both these girls will have a "shiny" future!!
