N litter pictures at day 2

N litter is born!!

Today, February 10, 2010, Luciole gave birth to 8 healthy puppies!
Luciole is Ch.Forgetmenot Famously.
The proud sire is our young Salem: Forgetmenot Kurume.
This is an interesting mix of "Plumcreek Come Fly With Me" (Luciole sire) and Sportingfield Hot Topic (Salem sire). This is also our first linebred on our beautiful Juliette (Ch. Be The One at Forgetmenot, who is on the dam side of both parents). This is also the first time we use one of our males to sire a litter....
Lots of "first"!!! So lots of HOPE!! ;-)

There are 4 boys and 4 girls.

• One all black like daddy (a male).
• Two parti black & white (a male and a female).
• Two irish marked brindle and white (a male and a female)..
• The rest are brindle and white partis.

4 point major for Gabby!!

Our Gabby (Forgetmenot Gabrielle's Beauty) was shown at an AWC Supported entry in Cleveland Ohio under judge Mr. Anthony J. Gutilla on Dec 11... We were very pleased that our girl went on to win WB for 4 point major!!! Thank you Mr Gutilla!
Salem (Forgetmenot Kurume) was once again reserve to a 4 point major both Friday and Saturday - he is our "reserve to 4 point major" king (his 3rd in a row ;-).
Our little Miss Kiwi (Forgetmenot La Magie Noire) was Best Opposite Sex at the Sweepstake on Friday.
Picture below is Gabby. Show picture to come.

Two Fergus sons at Forgetmenot

I have 2 Fergus sons here with us (Fergus is Ch. Joska Forgetmenot Idealist). Their dam is a Wolf Tone Viking daughter out of a "Ch. Sunbeam Rembrandt of Endeavour" litter-sister. They are here to mature and see how they will turn out. One of them might be available in a few months.

4 point major for Kiwi & SBIS for Sibelle!!!!

I guess I can proudly say that I am heading in the right direction! On Saturday, at an AWC Supported entry, breeder-judge Helen Brettell (Lost Creek Whippets) awarded our little 7 months old black beauty "Kiwi" or Forgetmenot La Magie Noire, WB and BOW for her first 4 point major!! This was Kiwi's first show in the USA! This was one win I am particularly proud of.. I also showed our boy Salem and he was awarded Reserve to a 4 point major. Thank you Mrs Brettell for recognizing Kiwi and Salem...

I left the show as I was not entered for the Sunday. On my way home, I get a phone call from Shelley Kruger who owns "Sibelle" (Forgetmenot Kimono) with me.... Well she announced that little Sibelle was now American champion by winning both Best In Sweepstake AND Best In Specialty at the Greater Chicago Whippet Specialty under saluki breeder-judge Linda Scanlon!!! Wow, now my face was stamped with a big smile for many miles... What a day!!!!! Thank you Shelley for believing in Sibelle!!! :-)
