Spirit goes Best in Field!

GO SPIRIT!!!
What a great weekend we had in Camden, SC, at the Afghan Hound Club of America's AKC Lure Coursing trial! On Saturday, despite the cold and the long trip to Texas the weekend before, Spirit decided that the "Bunny" was hers. It was a large field of 17 Open whippets, 15 Specials whippets and 7 Veteran Whippets and a total entry of 90+ sighthounds entered!
Spirit went BOB and then on to her First All Breed Best in Field!!! (I will mention that we have not actually run for BIF all year, however as the year is winding down, we decided to go for it) As always, I am very proud of this little red girl. She makes it all look so easy! and always has such a great time!
Thanks to Mike for these photos!

Spirit goes BOB on Sunday at 2009 AKC National Lure Coursing Trial

A big Congrats to Spirit!
It was a long drive to Florence, Texas and the weekend did not provide very nice weather, but despite that, this little red devil girl gave it her all! She ran with such big heart and enthusiasm this weekend - I am very proud of her.
She also paired up well with her "sister" Morgan as they won the Whippet Kennel Stake both Saturday and Sunday and then Spirit and her real brother (littermate) Joe won the Whippet Breeder Stake on Sunday!

What a way to finish of such an amazing year!
Thanks to Mike and Spirits Breeders: Donna, Larry, Robin, Scott and Dora!
Spirit could not have done without you guys!
