30.7.2009 Tara and Dante playing in the garden

For my whole holiday (only 4 days to go sniff!!) I've been letting the young ones play outside for hours to work off their excess energy. For some reason they always come back with completely muddy feet. Maybe they do some digging underneath the bushes or something. Anyway I thought I'd share you some basic "play/chase pics" form this morning.. featuring Tara & Dante! :D

4.7.2009 Whippet Speciality Moscow

We got some great news from Russia this morning. Eppu's kids (Bohemia, Balance and Blue Rose) took part in a Whippet Speciality Show in Russia and the judge was whippet specialist Jarmo Vuorinen from Scheik's kennel (Finland). I was very happy to learn that Blue Rose was Best Baby Bitch 1 and was also selected Best Baby. Her sister Bohemia (Mirra) was Baby Bitch 2 and the only boy in the litter Balance was awarded Best Baby Male 1. Many congratulations to Natalia and their owners. What a wonderful start!!!! :D
