Summer will soon be a distant memory as we head into Fall.
It was one very busy summer for Whippet activities and I
hope everyone enjoyed participating with their dogs, whether
it was showing, performance events or just enjoying camping
and hiking. Whippets so clearly are the do-it-all dog – I can’t
imagine ever having another breed. The Swiftsure gang was
extremely busy this summer – I think we were on the road
more than we were home! I just wish we could have been in
two places at once on a couple of occasions.
Our National Specialty is just a memory now and
congratulations to David Markus and committee for putting
on what, by all reports, was a great show. For the second
year in a row, a puppy was awarded BOB – huge cudos to
“Madison”, Ch. Aikerskaill In A NY Minute, for taking home the
honours for owners David Markus, Diane Fast and Harriett
Lee, handled by Diane.
Plans are already underway for 2012 – in Ontario in June.
Thank you to those that took the time to nominate and vote
on judges – your choice is Bo Bengtson, Bohem Whippets,
California.
Again I offer our sincere thank you to the amazing people
that look after Whippets in need – our hard working NWCC
Rescue group. However, some of these folks are getting
pretty disillusioned by a seeming lack of interest on the part
of a lot of our members. PLEASE step up and offer to help
with Rescue – temporary foster homes, transport and more
volunteers are desperately needed in most of our areas.
If you can spare some time to help out, please let Paulette
know that you are available. WW

We had a tremendous response in voting for our 2012
National specialty judge, with Bo Bengtson of Ojai,
California being the winner by a wide margin. In response
to my notification to him that he was selected to judge, he
stated: “What a thrill! Please thank your members so
much for the confidence. I will do my best to live up to the
responsibility and look forward to the assignment already.”
Although not selected this time, nominee Harold Tatro
commented: “What an honor to be on the short list!...it is a
thrill just to be considered!” Obviously it is not just the
NWCC members who think our National Specialty is special.
By the way, the correct date is Saturday, June 2, 2012 (it was
previously announced as June 1 but that was incorrect) in
Caledonia, Ontario, in conjunction with the Erie Shores Kennel
Club show. There will also be several other specialty shows
happening during that same weekend, notably Great Lake
Whippet Club and Gazehound Ontario. WW

Hello Whippet fanciers,
I apologize for not submitting a report for the last issue. No excuses, but I was very busy with other Kennel Club
duties. There is never enough time in a day some days!
Time moves so quickly. Fall is in full swing. But before I
move into autumn, I will first address our summer. I’m sure
many of you participated in many doggie events. The Lower
Mainland Whippet Specialty was well attended. I heard that
the Show and L.C. Trial was a fun-filled weekend and enjoyed
by all. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend. I missed you all!
This summer brought much pleasure to my Whippet world.
I travelled to the National Specialty in Winnipeg by van.
The MCA also hosted many Specialties including a Hound
Specialty. Although entries were down, the camaraderie and
sportsmanship was fantastic. The heat was a bit much for
some of us exhibitors and for some of our dogs, especially
for one black coated Whippet. Kindred Grace Leah started
her estrus a week before the National and with her hormones
racing, being moody and feeling very hot (30+ temperatures
each day), she would just spit out her bait, look up at me
(you know that look), as if to say, “I’m hot, hormonal and you
want me to do what while I’m roasting in this damn black fur
coat. Are you crazy?” Our Whippet bitches are such a joy
at times, aren’t they! Ah, but witnessing their learning and
growth and development as they advance to their wins is so
satisfying. Congratulations to all our summer winners!
Autumn is now upon us! Cooler wet weather pushes British
Columbians indoors for some sporting events. Our spirit not
dampened, we continue showing our Whippets indoors with
excitement and anticipation of that win. It’s so rewarding
seeing other Whippet “types” in the ring and also the joy of
being a spectator watching all the dogs performing in the
Show Ring, Obedience, and Rally Obedience. It’s exciting to
>>
watch our four legged friends continuously trying to please
us handlers.
Member Reports: Percy was winners dog for a 4 point
major under Betty Stites at the Rocky Mountain Hound
Association specialty show on August 18th in Greeley,
Colorado. He now needs only one more major to finish his
American Championship. Pender was winners dog at the
Gallatin Kennel Club Show in Helena, Montana in September
to add another point towards his American championship.
- Thanks, Janet Juzkiw.

REPORT
Winnipeg was proud to put on the National Whippet Club of
Canada’s National Specialty this past August, in conjunction
with the Manitoba Canine Association Dog Show. The weather
was fantastic, which helped since quite a bit of the show was
outdoors. MCA had found a new venue for their show……
fabulous area, very spacious, with lots of parking and camping
areas available.
I was asked to get a basket together for auction for Rescue.
With extremely generous donations from Ivy Morton
of Coolquay Whippets, Castle Hound Designs (Marion
Zerrenthin), Party Animals and the National Whippet Club of
Canada, we had a wonderful basket (hoping to be won by
many) with a value of $175.00. We sold $261.00 worth of
tickets. Our lucky winner was Gloria Jennet from Edmonton.
Manitoba has had great weather, even a hot summer.
Even though there are nasty rumours we will have snow by
Halloween, we’re hoping that’s not the case.
Take care everyone : ) WW
Lynne Samuel O N TA R I O R E P O R T
I know from the entries at shows that there are not a lot of
Whippets being shown, but with no one sending me any
results, I will say that there are none. Please send me your
wins. Since I have nothing to show right now, I need to live
vicariously through the rest of you.
I hope that in the very near future, all of you that are breeders
or just lovers of Whippets will offer to step up and help the
Whippet Rescue. We may have a number of Whippets being
surrendered to us and we will need foster homes. If you are
unable to take any, maybe you know of someone else that can
help. These are the dogs from the Quebec seizure and we
have no idea how many or what is involved. But if you truly
love the breed and not just the breeding and winning in the
ring... please offer to help in some way. Even if it is a
donation to buy some of the necessary supplies. Contact
anyone on the executive and give an offer. Our wonderful
leader in B.C. is getting so depressed with the apathy that
people are showing, that she is thinking of giving up the helm
that she has so masterfully managed to steer.
This is a time when our breed needs help. Don’t leave it to the
“other” person. These dogs did not ask to be treated in this
way. At least give them the opportunity to know what all our
dogs know. A loving hand, a warm bed and good food. They
have had none of that in their lives. WW

Mary Morris Ontario Director azurekennels@gmail.com
QUEBEC REPORT
The main news from QC is the seizure of 500 dogs from a
commercial breeding operation in the western part of the
province. It is believed that the number of whippets involved
is minimal and we are hopeful that we will be contacted if the
judge rules that the dogs should be placed for adoption.
I have not been to any Quebec shows this year and have not
received any updates from our Quebec members so have
nothing to report on that front.
One of our district members has indicated he may have
something for the next issue – so fingers and paws crossed.
Hope everyone had the wonderful Thanksgiving weather we
were blessed with and that the coming winter is kind to you
and your hounds. WW
Respectfully submitted,

There has not been a lot of activity in rescue; some of us have helped with a couple of rehomes. One came out of a bad
situation but, because the breeder was willing to take the dog back if necessary, we managed to handle it without resorting to
National Club funds or resources.
RESCUE NEEDS YOU
I would like to know if anyone out there would like to take over as Rescue chairperson. For over 10 years I have been asking for
help to set up a network of foster homes and transporters but I have had very little response. This is something which we should
be proactive on; in the past we have been caught woefully short of help. Perhaps if someone else takes over the coordination,
people will be more willing to step up. When we need help, too many people have excuses why they cannot assist. I have
suggested that everyone get a friend, a neighbour or a ‘puppy person’ to be their backup, but that has not worked either.
The person who takes this position has to be willing to at least send out form letters to people and pass on applicants to the
provincial reps.
It is important to maintain dialogue with humane societies and people who surrender dogs and it is good if you can chat with
folks about whippets in general. The provincial reps and our rescue group are very good people but they can only do so much.
I also pass on puppy and rehome referrals but I don’t think that is required; I just do not like to lose good applicants.
Regarding Whippets on the sites such as Craigslist and Kijiji, I usually write to offer help with placement especially if the
advertisers do not seem too fussy about who gets the dog. If it is an individual dog I ask if they have notified the breeder.
If the dogs are not registered, I also advise them that according to the Livestock Act, they are not to advertise them as purebred.
Some people are quite happy about the offer to help, others not so much. I do not offer to buy the dogs, I just pass the info to
an applicant if I have some who have been waiting awhile.
Regarding the Quebec seizure, I have had contacts and so has Pam. We were getting information but could not divulge it
but at least it gave us some idea of what we were dealing with.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the autumn. WW

form AND function
These comments on toplines are centered on borzoi, but not
necessarily exclusive to borzoi...
When the shoulder assembly is set extremely forward on a
coursing hound, what effect, either short- or long-term, will
that have on the dog?
Two things with that shoulder assembly.... the first is that
it results in inefficient galloping and will negatively impact
speed. If the front feet hit the ground too far forward, they
actually act like a brake.
At a trot, the dog reaches forward and then brings the leg
back to almost under the shoulder BEFORE the foot hits the
ground. The foot does not touch the ground at its maximum
reach. It doesn’t become fully weight bearing until it is
vertical. It touches lightly just before vertical, then the body
moves forward over the leg and it pushes backwards.
If the leg becomes fully weight bearing while the leg is still
in front of vertical, it actual pushes back against the forward
motion of the dog. This would be a very tiring, inefficient gait,
and would be magnified at a gallop. You can see it pretty
well on slow motion video. Dogs whose shoulders appear to
“jar” when they hit the ground are usually doing this. I think
breeders inadvertently select for this because the loose
structure often results in big sidegait. Big sidegait never
caught game.
Second is that the forward set front is often the result of
slack ligaments and poor muscling. The attachment points
of the shoulder assembly would be the same on all dogs,
but the loose connections allow the front to slip forward onto
the narrower part of the ribcage. I doubt most cases are a
lack of conditioning, rather than just poor genetic muscling,
especially the muscles under the scapula that attach the
shoulders to the ribcage. If a dog has slack ligaments and
poor muscling in the shoulder, it probably has them all over.
This front is one that will not hold up under work – the
jarring will result in a dog that’s muscle sore, but it’s probably
unlikely that the dog has enough muscle to generate effective
speed when hunting.
When a dog gaits around the ring, I think I know when I’m
seeing a dog’s whose back/loin is “frozen.” But is there a
visual clue, something to home in on, that I can mentally
point to and know that I am right (or wrong!)?
Toplines are a little trickier (in Borzoi). Usually a topline that
is correct in the length of its respective parts (loin significantly
longer than the back) will be flexible. Toplines that rise too
quickly behind the withers, or those that have a level back
then just fall away with no rise, are often rigid. I don’t think
there’s a good test for it in the ring.
Bouncing up and down on the topline doesn’t prove flexibility,
it just shows how relaxed the dog is. A hard, fit, well-muscled
dog may not bounce, even if it has a very flexible topline.
When a dog walks away from you, a flexible topline will sway
from side to side with each stride, but not at the trot.
Sometimes you can get a glimpse of this when the dog starts
to move away, but only the handler doesn’t take off at a dead
run. Dogs with rigid toplines will not have effective drive with
the rear, some as bad as not being able to turn over the hind
feet when they drive, or not getting the hind feet behind the
hocks at “full” extension. Flatter than ideal toplines are
usually flexible, but again the flatness is related to loose
connective tissue and not the best way to generate speed.
As far as measuring topline, I think it takes two hands to
correctly do this. Use your left hand to find the foremost
part of the spine that you can feel between the withers. Run
your right hand across the back (over the ribcage) of the dog,
which should be relatively level. At the end of the thoracic
vertebrae, there is a rise in the spinal processes, which is the
beginning of the lumbar spine. There is often a small divot
before that transition as well. At this point, move your left
hand to the transition point, and use your right hand to feel
the rise and length of the loin, which ends roughly between
the hipbones. I think that’s the best way to measure the
relative length of the back and loin, and also tell if the dog
has too much/too little rise or too much fallaway (neither
qualifies as “graceful curve”). Just running one hand along
the topline doesn’t tell you much about the relative lengths
of back and loin. Measuring the loin on the side of the dog
is meaningless, the loin measurement must be done over the
topline.

Swiftsure - We are so proud of our beautiful brindle boy – CRUZ – Ch. Whimsy’s Swiftsure Cruzan Gold, for going
Best of Winners for a 4 pt. major at the Washington Hound Specialty show in August, under breeder-judge Susan Badick.
Shown very lightly, this was Cruz’s third WD award at a specialty show!
Szabo family, BC
The Szabo Family made the big trip east to the CWA Nationals in Milwaukee Wisconsin. We made many stops along the
way; one of the highlights was our 2 night stay in Yellowstone. We saw a lot of animals and amazing scenery along the
way. We were very happy when we finally arrived at Arthurs Acres, the site where the nationals were to be held. We made
camp with fellow travelers Linda & Steve and Barb & Howard. We soon had many Canadian flags decorating the trailers
and x-pens and the now called “Camp Canada”.
The national was held on the Saturday with a very large entry of 53 dogs. The racing was very close throughout the grades,
making it exciting to watch. The day started warm but by afternoon turned rainy which was much relief after the heat and
humidity of the day before. We are very proud of our Marshall “Can CH Fireworks Eminence Front ARX, SRA, DPCX, TRP, SR,
ADC, SGDC” who finished 3rd in the meet, he was also high score Bench CH and high score Agility.
The second day of racing had another large entry of 53 dogs. It was perfect weather – sunny with a mix of clouds with the
temperature not getting too warm. Racing was once again very tight throughout the grades. Marshall had a great second
day, finishing 2nd in the meet and picking up 4 NARX points.
We will never forget all the wonderful and interesting people we met on our journey. The wonderful hospitality of Mary-Beth
and Doug Arthur for letting us setup camp on their beautiful property. We loved seeing Jean and Vince; they are such an
amazing couple. The stories we will remember for years to come and every time we see a squirrel or hamster we will think
of Mary Huff and smile. It was fun to have Beth Levine join our Canadian pavilion even though she stayed in the hotel at
night. Linda and Steve kept us focused. Barb and Howard were the real travelers; they didn’t even have air conditioning…
There were a lot of great times and some fantastic memories that would take too long to mention. Thanks to everyone who
welcomed us to the Nationals – it was an unforgettable trip to say the least.

Beth Levine, WA
Seven (Serendipity Hark the Lark) has been tearing up the track at the CWA races! Since her debut meet at RFF in BC at the
end of July, she has racked up 10.5 ARX points, including one BIG point earned in Milwaukee, WI the day after the 2011
CWA National at the beginning of September. Living up to her dual purpose heritage, she has enjoyed as much success in the
CWA conformation matches as on the race track: she is a match winner, earned all five of the required credits towards her
Dual Purpose Champion title in her first eight matches, and should finish the year in the CWA conformation top 10 standings.
I am so proud of this charming and fun-loving little red sprite who makes me laugh every day with her brilliant yet silly antics.
She is EVERYTHING I was hoping for when I bred my beautiful CH Serendipity Skylark, FCH, SR, OTR, DPC, TRPX to the speedy
and handsome AmCH Shamasan Hound Hill Cherokee, ARX, DPCX, RN. She is only 18 months old and I can’t wait to see what
lies ahead once she reaches full maturity.

Ricky, aka Nasusa Lynallan Caught My I went to a couple of shows up here and got 2 BOB, Puppy Groups and 1 BPIS.
Then he went to spend a couple of months with his co owner Carla Badick and he picked up a BOW and a couple of Reserve
WD at Evelyn Kenny. At the 3 AKC shows entered, he went WD at ASHA and FGC and he went Group 4th from the classes at the
Open show. We had no clue what those two judges (one for breed and the other for group) might like so it was pretty nice to do
so well. He has only been beaten in the classes by his close relatives.
Icatcher Beyond the Sea, Breaker, went into ASHA and was shown by Karen Maki whom he never met before and they won Veteran Dog. In FGC (Eugene Blake judging) he won BOS and then Best Veteran in Specialty. I was really happy because I haven’t
shown him since he finished as a youngster. His son Marley from Tarapaca went RWD at FGC too.
Breaker’s daughter Spicy, CH Icatcher An Oriental Lily got taken to 2 shows only and she got 2 Group 2’s. She really likes the
Junior Handler Ring. Another Breaker son, Hare Force One (Don Beck) got a BOB at his Burns Lake debut, first show for dog and
owner. He also thought the Jr ring was great.
Icatcher Double O Seven (Greg and Kristine Fletcher) got his FCh and two of his younger brothers certified easily and should be
exciting to watch coursing next year.
Deuce, Icatcher The Luck Of The Draw (Virginia Olnick) has his Alter Ch now and he also has some coursing points. He got his
Rally Novice title in 3 straight too.
Congratulations to all my dedicated puppy people for doing so well. WW

We decided to attempt agility with our sweet, soft natured
Tanzy just for fun, and she entered her first event at the
April Whippet Club of BC trial, qualifying in both of her
runs (Jumpers). At the fall WCOBC trial, she qualified in
her first run to acquire her Novice Jumpers with Weaves
in 3 of 3 runs. We had no expectations about agility titles
for Tanzy, so are very pleased. Pictured at 5 years of age.
