I realize I haven’t updated the blog since the last RFF meets in June, so before reporting this weekend’s meet, here is a quick catch-up. We spent the summer at the dog shows, where I’d hoped to finish one or both of Lark’s conformation titles before she is bred this fall. Alas, the closest we [...]

Tiercel raced very well in the hugely competitive national entry. [...]

On Saturday we attended the Lower Mainland Whippet Association specialty show at Peace Arch Park just over the border in BC. Branwen made it into the ribbons in both the 9-12 puppy bitch sweeps and regular classes: she was 4th in the sweeps class under Gale Lyttle (Galeforce) and 4th in the regular class under [...]

On the way to visit family in central California, we attended the NCWFA CWA meets in Suisun over the weekend and had a wonderful time. Tiercel finished 4th in the meet both days, picking up the bottom set of 2 ARX points each day, bringing his total to 5. He also won the match on Saturday! [...]
