CARDIAC NORMAL 2006
On August
11, 2002 I fulfilled the dream I've had ever since I was a little kid. We
traveled to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for the Whippet National (judge
Michael Dougherty), where we won 1st Award of Merit. That to me, was worth
the trip, as to be recognized with that kind of honor at the national
specialty, is quite an achievement.
However, two days later at the all-breed show, Simon won Best of
Breed, then on to a Group 1, both under whippet authority Kent Delaney.
When we walked out into the Best In Show ring, filled with multiple
American & Canadian BIS winners (including the #1 dog in Canada), I
thought, "This will be fun...." Well, it sure was! When judge John Rowton
walked out into the center of the ring and said, "Thank you for a beautiful
line-up, every one of you is deserving, but today it's the whippet," I fell
to my knees, completely stunned. What a thrilling moment -- one that I'll
always remember.

Simon's Top 20 Photo
Simon made us proud with many special wins on the road to his championship (all owner-handled). These included winning the 9-12 puppy class at the 1999 AWC National, BOW at the Long Beach Hound Weekend, and finishing by going WD for a 5-point major at the AWC Western Sighthound Specialty under Mrs. Anne Rogers Clark. A multiple group winner, his success in Canada has included SBIS at the Alberta Lure Coursing Association (following the Canadian National Specialty), multiple Puppy group wins and a Best Puppy in Show. Simon turns heads with his striking good looks and big movement.
