After we got married and had 3 children, it was time to have a pet, our first flat was not big enough to have a Greyhound so we managed to buy a blue and white Whippet puppy. A few months after we bought him a friend who could be shown and that was how it all started. Going to a small show with the children for a fun afternoon out, we all enjoyed it so it became our hobby. We were introduced to Mrs Gwen Hempstock at Crufts and she kindly said that we could have one of her puppies sired by the BOB winner Ch Welstar Royal Mint and Ch Broughland Gina of Baldrey joined our family at 8 weeks old, and as they say, the rest is history. By then, we had moved into a larger house with a big garden, so we were then in the position to start our breeding plan. Gina was bred from and is behind all our stock today (we made up several Champions, CC & RCC winners). Michael wanted to have a Greyhound at this point in time, so we bought a 2 year old bitch from Mrs June Minns (Exhurst Elegance) and she came to live with us in September 1980 and gained a RCC. She was also bred from and the Baldrey Greyhounds began. We have been showing for approximately 42 years and breeding for about 35 years. the last Whippet bitch I showed now lives with one of my sons and his family. We also bred Dachshunds in a small way. I have judged in his country and abroad for several years now and always find it a privilege and a pleasure to be asked to judge both of these lovely breeds. One of the longest distances travelled to judge was to South Africa, where, I was delighted when the Whippet I gave BOB to won the Hound Group and RBIS. Jackie Mrs linda Jones (Welstar) I believe I have always been competitive, having done Show Jumping and In-hand showing ponies in the past with moderate success. In the early 1970s, I was introduced to the world of Whippets and fell in love. My first show dog was Skyeboat Silver Lining (Ch Deepridge Mintmaster ex Glenbervie bitch). He and I learnt the art of showing together, winning many prizes including a RCC at the Whippet Club. He was almost 17 when he died. I have been fortunate to have homebred Champions. Eight in total, plus my lovely Ch Bluestreak Bittersweet of Welstar. My foundation bitch was a beautiful apricot fawn, Rasaday Amber (Deepridge Mintmaster ex Rasaday Oakbark Mirielle). She was mated to Ch Shalfleet Silver Knight of Skyeboat which was basically an outcross. I was so lucky to get my first Champion here, Welstar Minted Model and a litter brother Welstar Minted Gold of Maranver, a RCC winner. Later, Model was mated to Ch Nimrodel Wiveton and from this litter came the fabulous Ch Welstar Royal Mint, owned by Gwen Hempstock. He won 19 CCs (2 at Crufts) and 11 RCCs. He held the record for males for two years at that time, only succeeded by his grandson Ch Nimrodel Wanderer. Mint was the sire of Champions and CC winners. When Model was mated to Ch Nimrodel Ruff, I was lucky to get Ch Welstar Winning Dream, a Hound Group winner. She touched the measure at 18". In the 1990s came the wonderful Ch Welstar Red Robin, by Gorwynne Reed Bunting of Baldrey ex Welstar reflections. He was the sire of many Champions and ticket winners. I think he did a lot for the breed and I have been privileged to share my life with them.

  • History of Dog Agility
    History of dog agility From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The history of dog agility can be traced to a demonstration in the late 1970s in the United Kingdom . It has since spread rapidly around the world, with major competitions held worldwide. History in the United Kingdom The first widely-documented appearance of dog agility was as entertainment at the Crufts dog show in 1978. John Varley, a committee member from the 1977 show, was tasked with coming up with entertainment for the audience between the obedience and conformation competitions in the main ring. Varley asked dog trainer Peter Meanwell for assistance, and they presented a largely jumping-style course resembling something from the equestrian world to demonstrate dogs' natural speed and agility. [1] Many obstacles recognizable to modern handlers were already present at that demonstration, including the 'Over & Under' (A-frame/tunnel combination), 'Tyre Hoop' (tire), 'Weaving Flags' (weave poles), 'Canvas Tunnel' (collapsed tunnel) and 'Cat Walk' (dogwalk). It was reported in Our Dogs newspaper that in 1974 Meanwell had either been a witness to or participated in such a competition at an agricultural fair, thus predating more widely published accounts for the start of dog agility. By some oral accounts, there was an earlier demo with similar intent using playground articles such as a seesaw (or teeter-totter ) and a tunnel , although this has not been documented. Another account attributes the other obstacles to exhibitions by the Royal Air Force K-9 Corps exhibitions of the time, which is more plausible, given the nature of the first regulations for dog agility in the UK.

  • When Good People Think Strange Things About Dogs
    When Good People Think Strange Things About Dogs Patrick Burns I am thrilled to be here today among all you canine professionals. You see the folks in this room are more than dog trainers. You talk dogs, sleep dogs, write dogs, and debate dogs. You’re not just dog trainers.... You are also dog debaters, dog listeners, dog commentators, dog bloggers, dog list-serv managers, dog authors, dog newsletter editors…. and yes … even dog conference presenters. You are the people who shape – or could shape – a great deal of dog culture in this country. Dog culture. How many of you have thought about culture in the world of dogs? Perhaps we should think of that more because, I will argue, it is culture that is responsible for the fact that so many good people think strange things about dogs. 1 Strange Things To start, look around. How many people in this room are non-white? A strange question, eh? You thought this session was about dogs, didn’t you? The point is that for most of the world, this discussion is strange. In much of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, dogs are not allowed indoors. Who lets an animal indoors that may have fleas and ticks, and that may eat its own feces? Who allows such an animal on the bed? Who lets it lick a child in the face? No one! So, to put a point on it, this obsession with dogs that we have is, for the most part, a European cultural affliction. Most of the world, believe it or not, does not have this affliction.

  • Michael Worboys Inventing Dog Breeds: Jack Russell Terriers
    H U M a N I M A L I A 10:1 Michael Worboys Inventing Dog Breeds: J ack Russell Terriers Today Jack Russell Terriers (JRTs) are among the most popular dogs in Britain and are seen to have long history, dating back to the fox terriers bred by Parson Jack Russell in the early and mid-Victorian period. Yet, JRTs are the dog breed most recently recognized by the British Kennel Club, only being allowed to enter dog shows and to be registered in the Club’s stud book since 2016. This essay explores this paradox. It tells a story of struggles between different groups over the physical form and cultural meaning of this particular type of dog, but similar histories of the contested and contingent creation could be told of every dog breed. Modern dog breeds were invented materially and culturally in the Victorian era, first in Britain before being spread around the world. Then and since, the conformation of individual breeds has been subject to continual reimagining and reinvention by dog fanciers, along with the proliferation breeds to produce the 344 breeds now recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). History shows that breed could have been differently conceived and specific dog breeds differently made. What makes the recent controversies over JRTs particularly interesting is the sharpness and duration of the disputes over breed status, and their resolution in the existence today of at least five versions of the breed. At its simplest, the clashes were over whether JRTs were to be defined by their function or their form .
