Spirit goes BOB in Hannover, PA

We had a wonderful weekend up in Pennsylvania this past weekend! The weather was great, the hospitality was great and as always, Spirit had a great time running! There were more whippets than we expected. On Saturday, there was an open entry of 28 dogs, specials had 10 dogs and veterans had 2. Sunday was even larger with 2 open stakes of 19 each, a specials stake of 14 and a vet. stake of 1. Spirit ran great on Saturday and ended up going BOB! I love to watch this girl run! Congratulations Spirit - we are proud of you as always!!!

Thanks to Mike for these great photos that he got of her in Hannover! More can be found in her web album: http://picasaweb.google.com/CaliWhippets/SpiritSPhotos?feat=directlink

Spirit goes BOB at BGCC in Columbia, KY

Congratulations to Spirit on her Best of Breed win!
Last weekend, we packed up the van and Spirit, Morgan, Mike and I headed over to Columbia, Kentucky for a long weekend of AKC Lure Coursing with the Blue Grass Coursing Club.
We had a great time despite the heat and the long drive. The Curry farm was beautiful and the competition was great.
After a 5 week lay-off to rest a toe injury, Spirit had a great time. She ran Saturday with no problems to her toe! Yeah! After a warm-up on Saturday, she followed it up on Sunday with a Best of Breed win over 50 other Whippets!
The best news was the long weekend didn't seem to bother her toe at all! As always, she is looking forward to the next trial! Thanks to Donna for all her help and to Mike for these great photos!
Okay Spirit! How do you get into that position?! (above)
Boy this is fun!!! (below)

NEW AKC Field Champion "Spirit"

Introducing:
New AKC Field Champion
FC Cali N TNTs Spirit Of The Wild of Nitro FCh SC

We attended the AKC trial in Leesburg, VA this past weekend. We had a great time, the weather was nice on Saturday, but turned rainy on Sunday. It was a good turn out, esp. for whippets - with a field of 20 open, 9 specials and 3 vets on Saturday and 13 open, 13 specials and 2 vets on Sunday. The competition was tough. Despite that, Spirit had a great day, going 1st in the open stake on Saturday - earning her her Field Championship title! On Sunday, she was moved up to the specials stake and went 2nd - earning her first LCX points!!
Way to go Spirit! As always, you make me proud and are giving me the time of my life! I am glad you are having fun!
Thanks to Mike for this photo of Spirit!
