5.8.2014 A lot of things has happened...

It has been a while since I up-dated our blog. Mainly this is because I tend to put our latest news straight to our Manoush Whippets & Border Collies facebook-page https://www.facebook.com/manoushwhippets  (or occasionally to my own personal one). But I thought I´d give a brief up-date on things.

Our Brutus became a father in Sweden at the Magic Colour Whippets kennel. More information regarding this litter (already in their respective homes) at Magic Colour web-page http://www.magiccolour.se/

I visited the pups when they were around 6-weeks-old and they were simply adorable.. It would have been super difficult to pick my favourite from all of them. I am hoping that summer 2015, I am able to see some of the youngsters, if I get to visit Sweden for shows.

Here is a picture of all of them at age of 8 wks.


Other news:

I´ve been going to shows actively with Hayley and so far she has done really well. I am also happy that I´ve met new friends in the breed :D .

• 17.5.2014 in a working breeds speciality show Hayley was Best Bitch-1 & Best of Breed and got her first CC

• 14.6.2014 we attended a group 1 show where Hayley was Best Bitch-2 & got a res-CC.

So that is a very nice start for us :) Here are a few recent pictures of Hayley.




With Brutus I´ve attended a few shows this summer with nice results. We are missing that one qualifying CC for Finnish Ch title (that we already got from Vantaa dog show last autumn, when Brutus was Best Male-2) but our results was disqualified, because I didn´t know that I cannot change entered class from Open to Champion (Brutus is Estonian Champion and not Finnish Champion - the only title that allows the change but I wasn´t aware of that - should´ve checked the rules). So now we continue to "hunt down" that one missing CC and so far we´ve got 3 x res-CCs... So it requires a bit of extra work :D :D Here are a fairly new stacked pic of Brutus.



Iris has been shown sparingly. She just finished her season and from next one in spring 2015, she will be mated.





Other hobbies: My husband Jani and Hayley actively attend agility classes and they are doing great! Here a a few pics from the agility session.



Also, besides being a member of the Finnish Whippet Club, I´ve now also joined Svenska Whippet Klubben  http://www.whippetklubben.se/
