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.

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!!
