Finnish Whippet Club Specialty & Open Show 4-5.6.2011, Kiwie is a Finnish Champion!

So I have finally gotten around to update about our weekend at the Whippet Club Specialty Show. And what a fantastic weekend we had! Kiwie's, Silentkaze Endlessentertainment (Ch Best-Looking Brooklyn x Ch Plaudite Rareantiquelove), result exceeded all my expectations and Wanda, Tylko Ty Whitingly White Cloud (PLJ Ch Shamasan Happy New Year x Tylko Ty Viking's Love), made her show debut in baby puppy class.

Kiwie was open class EXC1, Best Bitch-2, BOS-open class, and took qualifying CC to become a Finnish Champion! What a way to finish her title! I couldn't be more proud!
Judge was Christophe Coppel, France

"A very nice, attractive bitch of a perfect size. Very nice head. Very good neck. Very good top- & underline. Very good angulated. Moves very well."

Finnish Whippet Club Open Show, 5.6.2011
Kiwie was 4th in Champion Class with honors price.
Judge was Editha Newton, Great Britain

"A very balanced example of the breed. She has balanced topline to underline, a lovely depth of chest and infill."


Wanda was 1st (and only one) in baby puppy class. She was such a joy to show. Maybe when she was supposed to move all she did was jump around, but she charmed the judge and the audience with her happy spirit and Wanda just had a lot of fun in the ring!
Judge was Christophe Coppel, France

"A very attractive baby girl with a very nice temperament. Beautiful lines and nice proportions. Very attractive head. Nice body. She has to learn to move correctly in the ring in the future. She will do well!"

So it really was a great weekend and it was a lot of fun to meet friends and other whippet people again while having such a great time showing our beloved whippets!



In other news Kiwie also got her official measurement in May which was 45,1 cm. And actually she also got her lure coursing license as well, so if everything goes well she will go to her first lure coursing competition this year.

Here's again some results from the conformation shows we have been with Kiwie, Silentkaze Endlessentertainment (Best-Looking Brooklyn x Plaudite Rareantiquelove).


Tampere International CACIB Show, 8.5.2011
Kiwie got VG in open class.
Judge was Eli-Marie Klepp, Norway

"Elegant bitch. Good head. Could have a better underjaw. Heavy ears. Bit straight in the shoulder & upper arm. OK topline. Enough angulated with good kneebone. Will still mature a lot in the front. Moves unbalanced. Just needs time."
