Arncho ’s Story by Jini Druliner - Maryland WRAP Volunteer Anchor came to me in the middle of a tornado near an airport in Delaware . My whole life changed when this little Whippet stormed into my life . Healthy and spry, he came up to me right away . As he snuggled against me, the rescue person said, “Oh look he seems to know you already!” He was my second rescue Whippet and at 8 .5 years old I didn’t expect to have him for very long but it was his story that drew me to him . Anchor had had a busy life before I met him . His breeder had shown him to his bench championship and then he went on to become an ASFA field champion and earned a Best in Field .

She placed him with a couple who lived in a group home with others who had developmental disabilities . Anchor and his man became a common and loved sight in the neighborhood . They were inseparable . Anchor began alerting the man to his seizures and then went on to alert the man to a developing cancer . Anchor spent the last 2 weeks of the man’s life with him on his hospital bed . After her husband’s death, the wife was not comfortable with keeping Anchor and WRAP was notified . Word leaked out about this amazing little guy who had lost his home and my heart just leapt . I had to have this little dog . . .I didn’t know why, but his story had just touched me so deeply .

Once, a very bossy Whippet metal he poured himself ever so slowly down, down, down, boarder decided it was time to eat and started barking at until he was by her side on her bed . She placed her head me to let me know I’d better feed him . I sat still and looked gently on his back and there they stayed cuddled together at him and told him to wait but on he barked . Anchor walked for a long time . between this bossy little guy and me, turned his head very He always stays with me or following close behind, softly slowly and gave him a low quiet growl .

Russia? Did I really want to go there? The initial invitation was to THE WHIPPET SPECIALTY judge a show in Moscow in January, and we’ve all heard about The Whippet specialty the following day had 32 dogs entered, which Russian winters, so I was less than enthusiastic at first . When the seemed like a disappointing number to me . However, I was told club changed the show date to early September and told me there that this was more than at regular shows or even other specialties . would be a Whippet specialty as well, I decided this would definitely Whippets are not yet a popular breed in Russia; Nataliya told me be worth going for . that only 21 litters were born last year . In spite of this the Russian Whippet Club hosts 16 annual specialty shows, all in the Eastern It turned out to be a really interesting trip . The Russian dog scene is part of Russia (there are apparently no Whippets at all in the rest dynamic and has developed fast since the fall of the Soviet Union, the of the country, “except perhaps a couple in Siberia”), and most of people were wonderfully hospitable and kind, and Russian society in them have around 20 dogs entered . The first Whippets in Russia first general has changed so much from the drab earlier years that I don’t were brought in from Poland in 1988, and early imports from Eastern think anyone who grew up during the Cold War would know where they Europe can still be found in most Russian pedigrees . After the fall of were . The non-stop flight from Los Angeles took 12 hours, and there’s the Soviet Union a number of dogs of “modern show type” arrived an 11-hour time difference, so although you arrive only an hour after from Western Europe and the US .

Getting through customs and visa control was newsletter . The judges at earlier specialties include Frank Sabella a breeze (much faster and more efficient than at LAX on the way back), from the US and Espen Engh from Norway . I know Sharon Sakson and I was immediately whisked off to the stately Sovietsky Historical has judged in Russia also, and several dogs of her breeding have Hotel in the center of Moscow . Obviously a past hangout for the become champions over there as well .

There was even a harp player during breakfast! eventually increased from a drizzle to a downpour, which meant that some of the judging had to be conducted under a tent . I’m not sure Unkind people from St . Petersburg, Moscow’s old rival city, say that how much the weather affected the general impression I got of the one day’s sightseeing in the capital is more than enough . I don’t dogs, but it didn’t help, and it was sometimes impossible to make know about that, but my guide Nataliya Chubarova from the Russian a fair assessment of what they might have looked like under better Whippet Club and I had a good time . She didn’t speak much English, circumstances . and I speak no Russian, but like true dog people we managed to communicate somehow anyway . Nataliya has five Whippets at home Among the bright spots were a few nice puppies from two and has bred just a few litters in the past 10 years under the Krasnaya different litters sired by the Irish-born but mostly U .S .-bred import Strela (“Red Star”) prefix . Her dogs mostly go back to old lines from Ch . Mossbawnhill Celtic Legacy (his sire is a grandson of Ch . East Europe, but she has also added modern Western (and U .S ).

The bitch was very pretty, czars for hundreds of years . We had coffee at GUM, one of the but so untrained that it was difficult to assess her movement or get world’s oldest department stores, an elegant Victorian confection a good view of her outline . The picture was taken one of the few that opened in 1893 . And the Moscow underground was a highlight: moments she stood still! I had heard of it but was still amazed — each station a work of art, sparkling clean, large as a ballroom and furnished with crystal chandeliers, stunning mosaics and sculptures .

When we got back to the hotel most of the other judges had arrived from all over Europe . Dinner was at a restaurant named the Anti-Soviet, which tells you something about how Russians today view the past: it used to be famous as an early hangout for Communist dissidents .

At the all-breed shows, held in a park outside the city, I judged several breeds, most memorably 50 really good Dachshunds and 36 not-so-great Chihuahuas . I did not judge Whippets that day; there were only 8 of them, and BOB went to an elegant, typy brindle & white bitch who would no doubt have looked lovely under different circumstances . However, it was cold and wet, and she did her best to adopt that crouched, miserable look that Whippets (especially bitches) get when they are not happy… I didn’t know it at the time, but she was all American-bred, although born in Russia, Ch .

There were also three slightly older, very promising Juniors, littermates sired by U .S . export Ch . Aberdeens Remarkable In Paris out of a daughter of Ch . Tylko Ty Viking’s Pride . They were clearly of international quality, although the males were rather large even by U .S . standards and probably looked like giants to Russian fanciers . (Russia, of course, is a member of the FCI, which means that their standard size is listed as 18 .5 to 20” for dogs, 17 .5 to 18 .5” for bitches ). Best Junior was the strapping fawn & white male All In The Golden Afternoon, but I also really liked his particolor sister Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland . Both were in excellent condition and well handled .

The youngsters were, in fact, among the best Whippets I saw all day . Several of the adults were not what we would consider show quality in the US, and a few were appallingly thin . There was a nice brindle dog from Italy, Ch . Sobresalto Love Me Tender (probably the only BOB: Tiopliy Veter Kazimir Malevich dog I’ve ever seen listed as a Turkish Champion!), and a solid, sound and well balanced Russian-born veteran, Ch . Tiopliy Veter Kazimir QOUESTI NS AND ANSWERS Malevich, a very good mover and well preserved for his nearly 8 After judging there was a crowded and lively question-and-answer years . Among the bitches there was a well-constructed solid brindle session (indoors, in a wonderfully warm cottage) . I was peppered with Viking’s Pride daughter named Hepy Hepry Ave Maria, and a very questions about everything from the ideal Whippet front construction to refined fawn & white named Ch . Tiffany Nord Star, whose pedigree the difference between English and American types, who was the best went back almost entirely to “old Russian” lines . (There may have Whippet I had ever seen, what did I think of their dogs, and what could been others with a similar background; reading the catalog without they do to improve Whippets in Russia? (My answer to the last question being able to decipher the Cyrillic alphabet was not easy ). There were was the usual: First, learn to speak or at least read English; then, get your a few nice champions of a more international type, including another hands on as many books and magazines as you can; and finally, travel daughter of the Mossbawnhill dog, Ch .

Bohemia Iz Volzhskoy Serenady, who is partly if Scandinavian breeding but also granddaughter of the US It didn’t seem like the right time for a detailed critique, but I also export Ch . Crystal Creek Teodora . didn’t want to make unrealistically positive pronouncements about the dogs . I said that with a lot of hard work they could probably reach international quality in ten years, but was assured they would get there in five! The breeders face big obstacles because of the difficulty in selling puppies, but if they focus on breeding only from the best dogs they could improve rapidly . (I got the feeling some good dogs are wasted . The sire of the Best Puppy doesn’t seem to have been used outside his owner’s bitches; the BOS bitch is from the only litter sired in Russia by her AKC champion sire ).

In some other breeds the Russians have already produced dogs that are among the best in the world, winning at Crufts and the World Show . With a lot of determination they will get there in Whippets, too . Some of the pieces are already in place; just a few more good imports from the West, and a couple of intelligent breeders who are able to develop bloodlines of their own, would make all the difference .

Although she of course didn’t show under me, it was great to see Best Bitch: Ch. Istoriya Lubvi Germiona Marina Slepneva again . Many in the US may remember her visiting the US for a few weeks in 2009 when she stayed with us and did However, Best Bitch was the winner from the all-breed show, Ch . well with her Dandy; others may have met her at this year’s National, Istoriya Lubvi Germiona, who this day on occasion deigned to show a where she picked up a very well-bred bitch puppy, who I hope one glimpse of the outline she could have under better conditions . She was day will produce a beautiful litter for her . Marina came all the way a really good mover, even in this weather, but BOB finally went to the from St . Petersburg just to watch . I trust she will come back for more veteran dog in a close call over the Junior dog . Neither is of ideal size for visits to the US in the future . an FCI country, but they were not as unhappy about the weather as the bitch, and the older dog was more settled moving than the youngster . I’ll definitely go back . I really appreciated the Russian Whippet Club Apparently he’s won quite a lot . His sire is a Swedish dog of English members for their warmth, kindness and good sportsmanship . (As one of Oakbark breeding, his dam a Rivarco bitch from Italy but of mostly North them said, “Losers’ owners were the same happy as winners!” That’s not American background: old “Oscar” blood combined with Ch . Wenrick’s always the case in the US ). Most especially Nataliya Chubarova deserves a Rave N’Sportingfield as granddam . lot of credit for putting on a great show in spite of big obstacles .

0.5” margin 8.5” 8.75” The Origin of the Whippet

Editor’s note: this article was originally published in the 1970 years . In an article by F . C . Hignett on Whippets in The AWC Annual; no author name was listed . New Book of the Dog, published in 1907, he states that Whippet racing “has been mainly confined to the working The origin of our breed is shrouded in the mists of history . classes, the colliers of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Durham, and For years there has been an argument over whether, as a Northumberland” . But he also states that “the Whippet breed, Whippets are two hundred years old or much older . existed as a separate breed long before dog shows were For a long time, the most popular theory was that the breed thought of, and at a time when records of pedigrees were was between one hundred fifty years old and two hundred not officially preserved; but it is very certain that the years old, and had been bred dawn from Greyhounds with Greyhound had a share in his genealogical history, for not Terrier blood . In the first edition of Mr . Frederick Freeman only should his appearance be precisely that of a Greyhound Lloyd’s book, The Whippet and Race Dog, published in in miniature, but the purpose for which he was bred is very 1894, he states that the Whippet “was originally produced similar to that for which his larger prototype is still used, by a cross between the Greyhound and Terrier”; in the old the only difference being that rabbits were coursed by days of rabbit coursing in the north of England , English and Whippets, and hares by Greyhounds . the other Terriers were used for this pastime . B . S . Fitter, in his book, The Show and Working Whippet, published in W . Lewis Renwick wrote in 1956 on the theory of the 1947, states that miners of Northumberland and Durham Greyhound and Terrier cross, “I do not think that this produced the Whippet for racing purposes . Fitter claims evidence is strong enough to establish this claim; it seems that the Terrier blood gives the Whippet his gameness such an easy way to get the answer, for it is obvious that a and tenacity, the Greyhound blood his speed, stamina and Whippet is of Greyhound type (it is just as obvious that the beautiful conformation . Italian Greyhound is of Greyhound type too), but I can see nothing in the Whippet that points to a However, as far back as 1907, there was suspicion that the Whippet breed was far older than a few hundred continued on page 34

Terrier’s conformation” . He feels that Whippets and Italian applying the whip to a horse to encourage it to move faster . Greyhounds are simply reduced Greyhounds . He goes on to Whippet may also be a misspelling of wappet meaning a say that dogs of the Greyhound type have been depicted by small yelping cur . We all know that Whippets are very noisy artists for thousands of years and that he is “forced to the while waiting impatiently for their turn to race . F . C . Hignett conclusion that the only real evidence we have of the origin has a very good answer to the second question . He states of our Whippets is to be found in these old works of art ”. that a Whippet being “too fragile in his anatomy for fighting, will “snap” at his opponent with such celerity as to take by C . H . Douglas Todd builds on this evidence in his book, The surprise even the most watchful; while the strength of his Popular Whippet, published in 1961 . He states that “Greeks jaw, combined with its comparatively great length, enables depicted Greyhound-type dogs on pottery and statues . The him to inflict se­vere punishment at the first grab . It is owing smaller type of these dogs were very like the Whippet in to this habit, which is common to all Whippets, that they size and shape and, indeed, many of them seem to have were originally known as snap dogs” . the typical Whippet rose ear . There is little doubt that the Graeco-Roman ‘Group of Dogs’ (now in the British Museum), Freeman Lloyd states in his book that the name snap-dog found at Monte Cagnolo near Laneivum, is a beautiful work refers to a dog “that can catch quickly, and snap at his game . of art depicting two dogs more like Whippets than any other . It holds good, too, with his larger brother, the Greyhound, Other works of art showing Whippet type dogs are ‘Joachim for it is well known that the latter is not a wonderful dog to with the Shepards’ by Giotto 1350, ‘The Light of the World’ hold if he gets mixed in a battle, his game being to snap and by Menline 1450, and the ‘Vision of St . Hubert’ by Durer . He bite sharply; and this is the case with the Whippet, who, also brings up the very interesting question of why there are however, will hold on to a towel or cloth with the same never any Terrier throwbacks . firmness as a Greyhound does to a hare” . From what I know of the history of dogs, it is a fact that It would be impossible to write about our breed without a Romans brought Greyhound type dogs to England when single mention about the Whippet as a companion . He is an they conquered the Celts . The celts, famed for their love of incredibly fast race dog, a wilely courser, and beautiful show coursing, already had a fine coursing dog . Crosses, planned dog, but he stars as a companion . Whatever else he is, he is and unplanned, no doubt took place . I suspect that the certainly a “people dog” . He grabs pens away from you while Whippet in England grew out of these crosses . Terrier blood you are trying to write; he helps himself to your dinner (who might have been introduced very sparingly much later to add wants dog food); he curls up on your lap wherever you are gameness under pressure to the breed . (not just one but every Whippet in the house piles on); they all sleep in the same bed with you (under the covers with A fact that I find very interesting is that Whippets seem to their heads on your pillow); they pull the covers off you when be getting bigger as a breed . In F . C . Hignett’s article, he they are cold; they pull the covers off the bed when they are states that the best weight for a show dog is 17 pounds too hot; they chew their bones all over the house . They are and for show bitches is 15-16 pounds . For racing purposes, happy clowns when you are happy; and they try their best to he thinks that dogs between 9-12 pounds and over 17 cheer you when the world crashes around you . Best of all, pounds have the best chance . The October 1937 edition of they love you for what you are . National Geographic, in the article on Whippets, states that weights vary from 10-23 pounds . The best running weight What more can you possibly ask for? is 16 pounds, and 16 inches is the height of the ideal show specimen . In the third edition of Freeman Lloyd’s book, he References feels that racing dogs should be 16-24 pounds; show dogs Todd, C . H . D ,. The Popular Whippet, Arco Publishing Company, Hew York , 1961 . should stand 18 1/2 inches and weigh 21 pounds; and show Freeman-Lloyd, F . and B . S . Fitter, The Whippet or Race Dog, third bitches should stand 17 1/2 inches and weigh 20 pounds . edition, David McKay Company, Philadelphia . The standard ap ­proved by AKC on July 11, 1944, states that Hignett, F . C ,. The New Book of the Dog, Cassell and Company, dogs should stand between 19-22 inches and bitches should London, Paris, New York, Toronto and Melbourne, 1907 . stand between 18-21 inches . It seems that our breed is Renwick, L ,. The Whippet Handbook, Nicholson and Watson, continuing to evolve . London, 1956 . The Modern Dog Encyclopedia, The Telegraph Press, 1953 . Have you ever wondered why the Whippet is called a Whippet, or why he is called a snap dog? I have uncovered two answers to each question . The name Whippet may have its origins in the words “whip it” . This is English slang meaning to move quickly . “To whip it up” often refers to
