Branwen

I am so pleased to introduce the newest arrival here at Serendipity! Grateful thanks to Lorie Crain, Sam Honaker and Phoebe Booth for sharing her with me. I love her and am very excited to bring in her classic pedigree, which is chock-full of so many of the great dual-purpose whippets of the past, that I’ve so long admired. I have high hopes for her in all endeavors!

More information about Branwen, her sire and dam and littermates can be found on the website or on the Versatile Whippets website or on the  Shamasan website.

In the Ring…

Branwen made her show debut at the 2008 AWC National in Eugene, OR, where she didn’t place in either her sweeps class (shown by her co-breeder Phoebe Booth) or her regular puppy class (shown by me), but had lots of fun and gained valuable experience. At her next show outings, at the LMWA and WCOBC specialties in British Columbia in July 2008, she made it into the ribbons in every class in which she was shown. I look forward to showing her more under selective judges as she matures.

On the Track…

Branwen made her adult debut on the race track at the June 7 BCWRC NAWRA meet in Abbotsford, BC. She ran very well, finishing 15th in the 30 dog meet, and gained valuable experience. Her 2nd full weekend out, at the August 2009 RFF CWA meets in BC, she ran her first B score and earned her first top-10 finish! She looks very promising and I’m very excited about her future.
