Sighthound Club Show in Vejen, May 2017
WHAT A WEEKEND!!! We decided in the last minute to go to the double Sighthound Show in Vejen, Denmark. And I surely do not regret it!

Grace won the champion class, best bitch with the Danish CAC which makes her a Danish champion, Club CAC (number 2 out of 4), she was BEST OF BREED and in the final she went all the way to BEST IN SHOW! Amazing!!! A little to hot weather but Grace is a real show machine so it didn't really affect her much.
Sunday, 51 Whippets entered under judge Birte Scheel, Denmark. Again, Grace won the champion class with Club CAC (number 3 out of 4), best bitch and BEST OF BREED. In the final she was runner up BEST IN SHOW.

CRUFTS 2016
A long trip to Crufts is now over. Sweden-Denmark-Germany-Holland-Belgium-France-UK and then back home again.
Saga did a wonderful job. We have only begun practising free stacking so I was not sure If she would agree to it or not, but she did. She was much more happy than usual, she really doesn't like when I hold her. Well the tail was up a little too far but I prefer a happy dog any day!
Saga was placed 3rd in open class bitches of 18 entries which I am really proud of.
Merlins daughter Sally was also entered in junior class, she was just outside placement (I think there was 26 entries in junior bitches).
It was a long trip, but I would for sure do it again. Everything is easy with nice company ;)

Crufts 2015
Crufts was really a pleasant surprise! I had already before I went planned to watch the Whippets. Since they were divided in to two rings (males and bitches) I had only the time to watch the males. I must say that I really enjoyed the Whippets in the UK. Overall much better proportions and angulations, most of them not at all too long in body and overangulated. Smaller in size. Here they tend to get just longer and longer with neverending rears, which makes me sad.
And what about the flat toplines?
Why do ”we” want this development? Why it is a good thing? What is the goal with this? The standard says ”All forms of exaggeration should be avoided”.
And do we need ”More than one-half inch above or below stated height limits is a disqualifying fault” as in the American standard? Well this would disqualify my own Whippets, too….
A larger, longer Whippet has a very different movement compared to a more square moderate one.
I really want to put up photos for comparison, but I think I’ll save my battles and live another day ;)
A lovely male from Crufts, Supeta's Razzalicious
I have an album with (almost) all Whippet males from Crufts here >>
Another thing I just don’t seem to get is the matings with young males. During 2014, almost 25% of all Swedish litters is done with a male under two years of age. Why? (And YES I DO keep statistics). When do you consider a dog fully matured?
