Milwaukee, WI September 1/2, 2012

his year’s Dairyland Whippet Club’s Labor Day events featured fantastic T weather. The temperatures were in the 70’s both days with low humidity, a breeze and partly cloudy skies. Whippets competing this weekend were from seven states: Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Minne- sota, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

Saturday’s entry was 30 adult starters (including 8 champions) and one puppy. Photo: James Kazi won all four hi-point races (5 NARX Reba, 4th – Josie. Tripp gets credit for the conformation win since Caleb is already an AKC Bench Champion.

We had the use of a power horn brought by Phoebe Booth. She said it was gathering dust in her storage so she thought she would bring it and see if we could use it. We will be bringing it to the CWA NATIONAL in Virginia for their use. After adding eight new C batteries it worked like a charm for the usual announcements “The Board is

Benjamin placed 3rd in the meet, earning 5 ARX points, Goldie placed 4th in the meet and took the 3 ARX points with Travis, Jackson and Bose tying for 6th in the meet and splitting the last ARX point (1/3rd each). Maud was the only puppy com- peting.

Saturday’s Conformation Match was judged by Susan Cook and drew 15 entries. Her se- lections were: 1st– Caleb, 2nd – Tripp, 3rd – Photo: James DAIRYLAND WHIPPET CLUB

The beautiful ribbons for the award were made by Peppi A. Greco We had a large entry for Jan Liscombe to and a beautiful whippet print was given to judge on Saturday. I can only assume every- each winner. one wants a chance at the Best Overall Combined Conformation/Race meet award.

Jan’s conformation placements were 1. Gin- ger, 2. Cora, 3. Jackson and 4. Rye Beau (3 NARX) was our meet winner for the day followed by Ziggy (1 NARX) with Joey GRR’s first Best Overall Combined award close behind, coming in third in the meet. went to Jackson, owned by Watkins/ Latimer /McNulty. A big congrats to Jackson Our FTE Oen earned a respectable 8.5 meet and his owners and breeders!! points and will start as a C on Sunday. The ARX points were split between Goldie and Flynn who tied with 13 points; the 2 ARX points finished Goldie’s ARX title and left Flynn needing .5 of a point to finish.

We had some great turtle prizes to give away and the hotly contested turtle went to Kenzie!

he weather has been incredible for the NCWFA's 2012 Race Meets. This T was a very small race meet, we had 13 whippets on Saturday and 20 on Sunday.

Once again the weekend was dominated by the House of Wyndsor. Jean's Bolt is two days closer to his Supreme racing title, win- ning both meets. The top five each day were Wyndsors or Wyndsor decedents - no surprise there.

Niko made his way to the high point several times both days and did a great job.

Frank's Arrow picked up top ARX points both days coming in third on Saturday and second on Sunday. Barbara's Harley showed he's got the stuff by picking up 2 ARX on Sunday. Congratulations to Frank and Bar- bara.

Sunday brought us more whippets, but less people to work, but we made it through in good spirits.

We had three FTEs on Saturday Turbo and But what was a surprise was Janet's Gnat-E coming in first in her race in the fourth pro- gram. I thought for sure this must have been an error so I called back to the finish line and they confirmed the #3 dog came in first. I still didn't believe them so I asked Janet, and sure enough, she came in first and wrecked her chances at the most appre- ciated award.

Guin's Imari got the most appreciated on Saturday with a perfect day of last place runs. But she had fun.

Zipper, owned by Valerie Barnard, and Nigel owned by Jen Haas. These guys did a great job their first time out and I look forward to seeing them run at our next meet.

Suede took seventh place on Sunday and showing that he's a rock solid racer. I want to thank the veterans Scout, Mr. Darcy, and Colby for helping us make 20 dogs on Sun- day.

Ok, let me write about our conformation matches. On Saturday, I was the judge and I had five nice dogs to judge. I think we all I want to thank Brad for bringing the trailer, running the lure and making friends with the head grounds keeper, in the hopes that we'll be able to keep using Solano Collage. I also want to thank Russell for helping with field set-up and take down on Saturday and running the boxes.

Rick and Kim are incredible helpers, ready to do whatever needs to be done. Our practic- es on Sunday were the best run practices I've ever seen, thanks to Kim. Jean, thanks as usual for all the great prizes.

love our little Tessa, but that cute catti- - submitted by Kellee Livingston wompous ear put her in third place behind Jade and Niko; Janet's Bessie was 4th. As the judge, I have to say even though my en- try was small, they were all really nice dogs.

Guin Borstel judged Sunday and had a big entry of seven males and three females. She looked at the boys and then the girls and narrowed the potential winners to two bitches and two dogs. Hallie came in first, followed by Niko, Tessa, and then Turbo in fourth.

ur second meet, held at Deborah and Maurice Bahm’s property in O Bush, LA, could not have been with nicer weather. Highs were in the mid 60’s even though it was cloudy on Saturday.

We welcomed several long distance teams to Louisiana as well as a few newcomers from the south of Texas. It was so nice to have such a good turnout! We had 30 dogs Photo: James entered both days with seven FTEs, four A dogs, four B dogs, ten C dogs, and three D The low for me was learning how to official- dogs. Love seeing new dogs and new own- ly give a DQ to a dog and owner which is not ers enjoying CWA racing. part of the job I enjoy since I’ve been on the receiving end myself. Hopefully, he can be schooled back up to par and run with us again.

Zeke Talbert was a wonderful box operator both days. Maurice worked his magic with the lure both days as well.

Our conformation judge was Myrna Cagle, a long time standard poodle breeder. We had 12 entries for her to go over in the match. Photo: James She placed Cora 1st, Joey 2nd (for his DPCX!!!!!), Rose 3rd and Jackson 4th. We did get to warm our tummies with a brief I must say I learned lots of finite details on lunch break of incredible Louisiana chicken Saturday for sure and thank Ule and Jen- and sausage gumbo with potato salad. nifer Smith for guiding me through.

The high points of the meet were the FTE Vader finishing the meet in 3rd place and earning 5 ARX/1 NARX. River was our meet winner for 5 NARX and Joey took 3 NARX. Jennifer Smith’s Jackson picked up the se- cond set of 3 ARX points and is closing in on his ARX! Deborah Bahm’s Preacher picked up his first ARX point.

Sunday started way too early for most of us but we wanted to get travelers back on the road as soon as we could. It was a cool and sunny day to be enjoyed by all. We started with five A dogs, six B dogs, eleven C Dogs and seven D dogs.

We had a newcomer take the meet and make his family very proud. Vader was our meet winner for 5 ARX and 5 NARX and is well on his way to both titles. Joey was 2nd for 3 NARX, and River took the last NARX Photo: James point. Jackson took the second set of 3 ARX I just want to thank everyone for supporting us and coming to our meet. I think we made some new friends and hopefully have them coming back for more fun.

Photo: James points and finished his title in a very rapid fashion. Way to go Jackson! Alley, a Wil- liams dog, took the last ARX point but it’s her first weekend running and her first ARX point. Everyone ran well with no major inju- ries to end the day.

With several people on the road already our conformation part was smaller than Satur- day but Judy Weiland was our judge and still had several to go over. She placed Flynn 1st, Cora 2nd, Paisley 3rd (her 2nd DPC leg) and Joey 4th.
