WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO – Summer 2022
Spruce Meadows - 2022
Our second show of the year, and always one of my favourites! :) There were FIVE Whippet/Hound specialties-including the National Whippet Club of Canada, and four All Breed Shows. Crazy busy weekend, so I focused on the Specialties.
I entered Amore in Veterans at Four of the five Specialties:
1) Rocky Mountain Whippet Association of Alberta: Best of Opposite Sex, Best Veteran in Breed, & Best Canadian Bred with 34 Whippets entered
2) Alberta Sporting Hound Association: Best Of Opposite Sex and Best Veteran in Breed, 40 Whippets entered.
3) Foothills Gazehound Club: BEST OF BREED from the Veterans class, Best Veteran in Breed and Best Veteran in Multi Breed specialty! Amazing. :) 40 Whippets entered.
4) National Whippet Club of Canada: Amore’s brother Pseu won Best Veteran at the National, and also first Award Of Merit! Proud breeder brag.
Opal? Well she did a massive win thing, winning Best Of Opposite Sex in National Specialty. I could not be prouder of her! She was entered in three of the other four Specialties, but didn’t find much love there.
Overall, a fantastic weekend, that I’m over the moon happy about, and a very proud breeder.
NACA - 2022
Our first dog show in 2022, and only the second one we attended since the start of Covid. I love this show, it’s always been a favourite of mine!
I entered Amore in Veterans at the All Breed, and in the Alberta Lure Coursing Association Specialty. Opal was entered in the All Breed show, and was Select Bitch Every show. Amore won Best Of Opposite Sex and Best Veteran in Breed at the Specialty, and then went on to win Best Veteran in Multi Breed Specialty! He also won us a nice blankie, that we snuggle in every night to watch TV.
We are very proud of both of them, and we had a wonderful time at the show. It was so nice to get away, relax, and re-connect with some people we hadn’t seen in a very long time.
Hanging out - 2022
The rest of this year has been filled with just hanging out, going for walks and enjoying life in the yard and deck.
Most of our time has been at home for the past couple of years, we hope to get a vacation or two in the States to show next year!
