Dear Readers,
AWC member Brigitte Greenberg passed away recently and
like many of you I am going to miss her monthly WRAP
columns in this publication. Whippets in need of help have
lost an eloquent advocate. Condolences to her family and
her many friends. More information can be found in Lori
Rose’s WRAP report this month. — It’s time pull out the get
well cards. Juanita Irvin broke her leg recently and when
she’s out of the hospital she will be staying with Barbara
Henderson for several weeks of recovery. AND Carol Willumsen recently got home from 3 months in rehab after
breaking her hip. Now she’s taken another spill and this
time broke the other hip and is back in rehab at Peconic
Bay Medical Center, Attn: Carol Willumsen, Rehabilitation
and Skilled Nursing Facility, 1300 Roanoke Ave., Riverhead,
NY 11901 — For those of you who are interested in the
business conducted during the annual meeting in Lexington
in April, the minutes are included in this issue.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
As many of you have noticed and asked about,
the archives are still missing from the AWC website. In
light of what has happened with the archive material,
the AWC Board has hired a lawyer who specializes in
copyright law to look into who owns the material that
was produced from AWC documents that was scanned
and posted on the website by a volunteer doing work
in support of a club effort. We felt that this situation
should be straightened out legally and in the process
we are finding out how to ensure that any future published material put out under the auspices of the AWC
will have copyright that is held by the club and not any
individual member of the club.
The complaint regarding the Board of Directors
ballot counting at the National that was filed with the
AKC will most likely go before the AKC Board at their
July meeting. I use the phrase “most likely” because
that is the way it was presented to me. I am guessing
that means that if their Board meeting runs long or if
other matters come before them that they consider
more pressing then the complaint will be bumped to
August or later. Unfortunately, as I previously mentioned while this action is still pending there is no work
being done on the proposed changes to the By-Laws. I
asked Michael Liosis in Club Relations the following:
“What is the likely outcome of something like this [the
AKC Board action]? Will the AWC be fined? Will we
possibly have to have a new election? Will the AWC
Board all have to give up their first born children? (I
can’t speak for the others on the Board but I sincerely
hope the latter isn’t the case – I’ll be 59 in August and
don’t have a first born child so at this point in my life I
hope the AKC Board won’t expect me to father one
just to give it to them.)” His response was that perhaps the outcome would be a one-way trip to a U.S.
military base in Cuba. Obviously, he was kidding. He
was kidding, right?
On a much more pleasant topic, I would like to
welcome Leila Anichi, Lauri Austin, Diane Fast, Joseph
Mendelsen, and Sarah Kylr Sibinovic as the newest
members of the AWC.
Have fun with your four-legged children. Take
care and be safe.

To The Editor,
The AWC archival materials, including the AWC Whippet News Annuals and the AWC Whippet
Newsletters, which are still missing from the AWC website and apparently still in limbo because they
had been removed to David Howton's personal website, where he claims on his front page that the
content therein “is a result of the creative effort of the site's owner” (something you had to attest to
before you could view these materials).
As a result of this mess, I have a few words to say about “volunteerism” and “creative ownership”,
particularly relative to the AWC Whippet News Annual, because I can speak for it directly, although
what I say also applies equally to the AWC Whippet News (for more years than I even know produced
by the efforts of Pat Dresser and Christine Hopperstad).
Apparently, because Mr Howton had devoted considerable time to scanning back issues of the Whippet
News Annuals for the AWC, he decided to consider them his own “creations.” When he had a falling
out with the BOD, he removed these files (along with all the archives) from the AWC website and placed
them exclusively on his own. Please note that Mr Howton VOLUNTEERED to scan the content of the
AWC Whippet News Annuals and place them on AWC WEBSITE. Yes, it took many hours to do so, just
as did his VOLUNTEERING to maintain that website for the AWC, but he is not the only person who
VOLUNTEERS many hours of his/her time in service to the AWC, often with little or no recognition of
one’s efforts. If he feels unappreciated for his time and effort, he can join with many others who
probably feel the same. Get over it. Do the job, or give up the job. Don’t sulk.
Doing a little scanning hardly gave Mr Howton “creative ownership” of the AMERICAN WHIPPET CLUB
Whippet News Annuals. He did not “create” any AWC Whippet News Annuals. I have put MY heart and
soul and many THOUSANDS of hours into actually PRODUCING these books for the last THIRTY-THREE
YEARS. If any person were to claim “creative ownership” of these books, it would certainly be ME, and
NOT Mr Howton. In MY opinion (the person who actually produced, edited, created the artwork,
organized the printing, and did the mailing of the Whippet News Annuals for the last 33 years!) the
American Whippet Club Whippet News Annuals belong to the AWC and nobody else. I VOLUNTEERED
to do this work on behalf of the American Whippet Club. The Annuals are MY contribution to the AWC
and the Whippet Fancy and I do so with pleasure.
Just as Pat Dresser created the AWC Whippet News for dozens of years. Just as Christine Hopperstad
has also done. Just as so many uncounted numbers of VOLUNTEERS perform uncounted, often
unrecognized, tasks daily on behalf of the AWC, so that we may enjoy our Club and our breed a bit
more.
None of them tried to take their “creations” and leave.
Sincerely,
Wendy Clark

American Whippet Club
Annual Membership Meeting
April 7, 2011
The annual meeting of the American Whippet Club was
called to order by President Russell McFadden at 7:45 am on
April 7, 2011 in the main ballroom at the Marriott Griffin Gate
Resort in Lexington, Kentucky. 117 members signed in and
established a quorum.
Jackie Hubble made a motion to dispense with the reading
of the minutes from the last annual membership meeting and
that they be approved as published. This was seconded by
Red Tatro and it passed.
Prior to beginning the business of the club, the Cardiologists
for the Whippet Health Foundation asked to speak.
Dr.’s Rebecca Stepien and Virginia Fuentes took a few minutes to bring the membership up to speed on the current
status of the Whippet cardiac study and their recommendations for heart testing. They will be publishing a paper on normal Whippet values within the next year or so based on the
information they have gotten from echocardiograms done on
Whippets at our nationals and at the University of Wisconsin,
Madison, where Dr. Stepien and Dr. Heidi Kellihan are on
staff.
They recommended having echocardiograms done for prebreeding screening, stating auscultation alone is not enough
and several lesions have been found on Whippets with no
murmurs. They also recommended screening young dogs (as
well as middle-aged to older) as several Whippets in the study
have been normal one year and significantly affected the next
year at young ages (i.e., a normal Whippet heart at 3 years
may not be normal at 4).
A motion was made and seconded to suspend normal business to discuss infractions by the Board of Directors.
Motion passed.
Joe Light asked to be recognized and allowed to speak from
the floor regarding alleged infractions of the By-Laws and the
election process by the AWC Board of Directors.
Peg Rideout read a petition (see attached) and Russell requested a copy to be able to respond.
In response to the letter to AKC of alleged By-Laws violations read to the membership and the Board, Russell stated
that he could answer to the points made and asked to see a
copy of the letter just presented so that he could do so.
He stated:
#1 In following the procedure that had been established a
few years earlier and used every year since, the counting of
the major number of ballots had been done prior to the annual meeting. This was done because it took anywhere from
three to five hours to count the ballots depending on the number returned so it was therefore impossible for the ballots to
actually be counted during the time frame allowed for the annual meeting unless everyone wanted to sit around for hours
while the counting was done. The Board had approved the
people who had volunteered to be tellers this year and the
major number of ballots was counted on Tuesday. However,
any ballots handed to the Secretary after that but prior to the
4

The Whippe T NeWs  JUNe 2011
annual meeting would have been turned in to the Tellers
for inclusion in the final count.
#2 This year a mailing service was used to send out
the ballots. The envelopes were turned in to them February 24th with the guarantee from the service that they
would be in the mail on or before March 1st. Cindy stated
that she has the receipts from the mailing service in
Colorado Springs that support this. If the ballots were not
mailed by the March 1st deadline defined in the By-Laws
then responsibility for this was with the mailing service –
not the Secretary. Cindy had defined the March 1st date
when she handed the service the envelopes but had no
control over whether that deadline was met once they
were no longer in her possession.
#3 The results of the election were not announced
prior to the meeting. Since all of the prospective Board
members had been asked to attend the Wednesday
morning Board meeting, the people on the ballot were
told of the preliminary results so that they could choose
to attend or not. The preliminary results would have
been unlikely to change unless a large number of ballots
all voting for one individual were handed to the Secretary
between the counting of the ballots on Tuesday and the
official announcement of the results at the annual meeting. This was unlikely since only one or two ballots are
typically delivered by hand so letting the prospective
Board members know the results ahead of time is done
as a courtesy. The fact that the preliminary results were
made public did not change the fact that the official announcement of the results would come at the end of the
annual meeting as specified in the By-Laws.
#4 The Whippet News was used as the method of notification for the nominees on the Board ballot. Since this
was not put up on the website until January 24th, the
notification to the membership was nine days late. We
have used The Whippet News as the method of notification for the Board nominees because it is mailed to all
members and using it saves the club the cost of an extra
mailing sent through the US Post Office. Next year we
will make sure the membership is notified by the January
15th date even if it requires this extra cost of going
through the post office.
Much discussion took place. Fred Lutz asked to be recognized and stated that he thought the Board was doing
a good job and he motioned to close the discussion and
move on with normal business. Jeff Kimmelman seconded. Motion failed.
More discussion followed regarding the possible recount of ballots. Scot Northern motioned to recount the
ballots, Mallory Ballard seconded. Motion failed.
Red Tatro, who was one of the tellers stood and explained the ballot counting process. After the ballots are
opened and verified against the January 1, 2011 membership list, those envelopes are destroyed. Therefore a
recount could be done but not verified.
More discussion was held. Donna Richards made a
motion that the ballots be accepted as counted on Tuesday. Jackie Hubble seconded, motion passed. There
were 5 nays.
Jackie also moved to return to normal flow of business,
Fred Lutz seconded, motion passed.
blood samples. Drs. Stepien and Fuentes answered questions regarding the cardiac study.
President’s Report
Russell introduced the newly elected Board members
WRAP
Dr. Barbara Henderson thanked everyone for their support
of WRAP.
She reported that we had lost a very valuable and big
supporter of WRAP when Dr. Tom Sooy passed away in
October of 2010. Tom provided his knowledge and surgical
expertise to all rescues free of charge. She asked that people take a moment and see the tribute to Dr. Tom on the
Rainbow Bridge table.
In 2010 we had 198 rescues this was an increase from the
72 rescues in 2009.
101 females and 97 males.
The rescues varied in ages. There were 24 under one year
and 28 ten years and older. The rest were between one
and 10 years.
Eight states had a high number of rescues. Illinois had 21,
Oregon and Texas 19, California 14, Georgia & Louisiana
11, Michigan & New York 10.
Thirty one states saw rescues in 2010. The rescues came
from foreclosures, shelters, breeders that could not be located. We always try to locate the breeder of a rescue before trying to place the dog. If the breeder is unable to
take the Whippet back we will place the dog in a home and
would appreciate a donation from the breeder.
Our major expense was Veterinary fees.
Treasurer's Report
Treasurer David Samuelson reported a balance of
$55,996.51 as of December 31, 2010.
Copies of his complete report were made available to the
members present.
David stated we now are required to file annually with
the IRS and he has worked with an accountant to file the
return. David commended the board for their fiscal responsibility and their hard work to keep to club financially
strong.
Secretary's Report
Cindy had a report from Kathy Slater, Futurity Chair
that will be published in Whippet News in May.

Performance Director
Lisa will give her report in the May Whippet News
which will include the ASFA delegate’s report
Whippet News Annual
The 2010 Annual is not yet at the printer, partly because the National is about 3 weeks earlier this year, and
mostly because we are kept waiting by other clubs and
organizations who take forever to complete their end of
year statistics. It is should be about the same size as last
year's book was.
I want to thank all of the people who help to make the
Annual a success, particularly Jill Baum for the AWC Specialty results, Lisa Costello for her fabulous Performance
Report, Donna Lynch for her help with the Pedigree Section, Barbara Parsons for the Top Producers, Lois Obelcz
for proof reading and Bo Bengtson for his AWC Archives
article.
ROM Chair
Gail Boyd will announce and give out certificates at the
banquet.

Mary Beth Arthur, Dr. Rebecca Stepien and Dr. Virginia
Fuentes spoke to the membership regarding the cardiac
study, the WHF pre-breeding health screening recommendations, the WHF funded thyroid study and CHIC

Brigitte Greenberg
November 3, 1967 - June 15, 2011
A wave of deep sorrow has washed over the
world of Whippets with the loss of our dear and devoted friend — tireless WRAP volunteer, Whippet advocate and Ace Reporter, Brigitte Greenberg. Brigitte
developed serious medical complications after esophageal surgery due to cancer on May 23rd and was
hospitalized in the ICU due to respiratory decline following the surgery. On June 5th, Brigitte was moved
to Washington Hospital Center and connected to a
bedside ECMO machine for respiratory failure. On
June 13th, Brigitte suffered a serious medical setback, never to recover. She passed away on June
15th at 1:30 pm EST. Brigitte was 43 years young.
The 111 WRAP volunteers are sending our
thoughts, prayers & blessings for continued comfort
and strength to her mother, Beverly, immediate family and Whippets: Bambi, Rudy, Daisy, Summer,
Corey and Pony during this time of bereavement.
Brigitte will be remembered for her enormous contributions to WRAP, the Whippet world and love of the
breed.
Brigitte's service was held on Sunday, 6/26/11 at
12:30 PM at the Hines Rinaldi Funeral Home in Silver
Spring, Maryland. Burial followed at Judean Gardens
Memorial Cemetery, in Olney, Maryland.
In honor of Brigitte’s commitment to Whippet
Rescue, her family has requested in lieu of flowers,

attention to the warning signs. Because, by press

SECRETARY’S REPORT
Please take time to read the minutes from the annual meeting held in April and the petition that was
presented to the Board and membership. They are
printed elsewhere in this edition of Whippet News.
We received the invitation and application for the
Meet The Breeds event to be held in New York City this
November. Sharon Sakson has graciously agreed to
head that committee this year and did a bang up job in
2010. Thank you Sharon!!
The AWC has donated $1500 to the AKC Disaster
Relief Fund for all of the horrendous tornados in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri. Many, many
dogs have either lost their owners or are unclaimed.
$500 of this came from the Western Regional Specialty. Thank you!!
Cindy

2011 TOP TWENTY
The 2011 AWC National in Lexington was a wonderful Whippet centered weekend. On behalf of the Top
Twenty Committee, I want to thank Jan Swayze
Curry for all her support. Jan did an outstanding job!
I want to thank the 2011 Top Twenty Judges for
their service. Our Top Twenty Event judges were:
Group Judge: Susan St. John Brown, Breeder Judge:
Kathy Armato and Handler Judge: Karen Roberson.
Thank you for your part in making the Top Twenty
Event a success. Our Top Twenty “People’s Choice”
was the beautiful red brindle and white bitch GCH.
Snowcap’s Patent Leather owned by Harriet Vincent
and Dianne Reimer and shown by Leslie Potts. The
AWC Top Twenty Winner for 2011 was the stunning
black and white bitch GCH. Snow Hill Onyx at
Stoneledge SC owned by James Clever and Susanne
Hughes, DVM and shown by Graham Swayze-Fudge.
Scott Northern was our MC and I want to thank him
for a wonderful job filled with humor. Thank you
Scott!
Harriet, the music was a wonderful addition to theTop Twenty Event. I appreciate all your hard work
coordinating the music and for suggesting it would
add to the Event. It was a great addition. I also need
to apologize to Harriet and Dianne for the errors in
their ad. A corrected ad will be published.
This year the Top Twenty planning was especially
difficult for me due to many trying family issues and
a remodel of our house. I appreciate the patience
from the committee. I especially want to thank Sue
Carbajal who stepped in and helped out. It is frustrating when you have to move the majority of your
household goods to storage units and then try to
find the items you need.
If you have ever worked on events, getting people
to stay to help clean up is difficult. I really appreciate
all the help we received after the event. I want to
thank the people who helped with set-up and clean
up. That is always difficult and the additional help
was greatly appreciated. A big thank you to: Sue
Carbajal, Jackie Hubble, Harriet Vincent and her husband Ed, Scot Northern, Joe and Anne Fazio, Red
and Denise Tatro, Kim Newell, Kim Harwood, Judy
Filler, Bill Davenport, anyone else I may have forgotten and most of all Ron Waggoner who had to put
up with hauling all the Top Twenty supplies to Kentucky, Thank you all!

WHIPPET SPECIALTIES
2008-2010
Are specialties still special? In the 1970s and into
the ‘80s there were basically only three or four Whippet
specialties each year in the US. All of them were huge,
often with 200 dogs entered or more, so winning any of
them was a big deal, and it seemed as if all the major exhibitors from around the country travelled to all of them.
(I know I used to go to both the AWC Eastern and MidWestern regional specialties, plus of course to my “local”
AWC Western regional, and once in a while to the Southern as well.)
Then, in 1984, the Southern California Whippet
Fanciers Association held the very first Whippet specialty
that was not hosted by AWC. What a great idea, we all
thought, and since then the number of regional club specialties has grown to such an extent that I’m wondering if
specialties are the victim of their own success. We now
have anything from 17 to 19 Whippet specialties each
year, and the support for them isn’t what it used to be:
many of them don’t even have 30 Whippets in competition, and how “special” is that? However, for the record,
we’re not even close to many other breeds, some of which
have more than a hundred specialties each year…
Nevertheless, if any shows are important it’s the
specialty shows, which usually have breed specialist
judges and at best attract all the local competition and
sometimes outsiders as well. Interestingly, while the specialties today are generally smaller than they used to be,
the AWC National has remained a true showcase for the
breed, one of the biggest single-breed shows of ANY
breed anywhere. The first national was held in 1987, instigated by Cathy Gaidos and myself, but later taken to
greater heights by Cindy Scott and her amazing teams in
different parts of the country. It’s the biggest Whippet
show in the world, and instead of going to the other AWC
regionals many of us now just focus on attending the National.
If specialties have any importance, Whippet people ought to know where they are held, who’s judging,
how big the entry was and who’s winning. I compiled an
early list of all Whippet specialties, from the first one in
1931, that was published in the AWC 2000 and 2001 Annuals, and an update appeared in the 2008 AWC Annual.
Below is a list of Whippet specialties held from 2008
through April 2011. These results are taken from the
monthly AKC Awards published through June 2011 and
should be complete, but there are a few question marks
(see below*), and if you see anything in the following
that’s incorrect I would be grateful if you could write to
me at bobengtson@impulse.net so we may print a correction.
For the record, it appears conclusive that the alltime US SBIS record is shared by two bitches, Ch. Brushwood’s Moxi of Endeavor and GCh. Starline’s Chanel, currently with 11 SBIS each, while Ch. Sporting Fields Rock
On has 10. With the ever-increasing number of specialties, these figures will no doubt change in the future.
More figures: the last four AWC national specialties had an average of 452 dogs in competition. The 21
regional AWC specialties I have figures for during this
time averaged 68 dogs in competition, and the 36 most
recent other Whippet specialties, hosted by independent
regional clubs, averaged 55 dogs in competition. (AKC, of
course, prints only figures of dogs present and competing
in the official classes.)
The abbreviation in parenthesis after each club’s
name simply indicate in which AKC Awards issue and on
which page the results appear.
I have offered Christine to send regular specialty
updates to Whippet News in the future as I go through
each new month’s AKC Awards.
BO BENGTSON
* I have access to all the AKC Awards CDs except those for January and February 2009, and AKC has
promised replacement copies. The only specialty likely to
be covered in those CDs is the one hosted by the Greater
Chicago Whippet Club in November 2008; I have included the results I found on the club’s website.
The AKC Awards for some reason does not list
the Whippet classes at Atlanta KC on 10-23-10 as an
AWC specialty. I am sure that’s an error, so included the
results below anyway.
P.S. AKC of course does not record Sweepstakes
results, since such classes are not official competition.
AKC also does not specify if a specialty is a national or a
regional event.
P.P.S. I should have added GCh. titles when applicable below, and will do so in the future. Sorry…
