TTENTION WHIPPET LOVERS
Our lovely Diaries are available once again. The 2009 edition has even more splendid pictures. These make a great Christmas present for your whippet friends. It isn’t too late to post one overseas. Cost is15- plus postage. Please contact Secretary at raemitch@hotkey.net.au Hurry as they are going quickly!!!!!
Dear Whippet Lovers,
Well our Championship Show is over for another year. It won’t be long before we start preparation for 2009, that’s how fast time flies now days. It was lovely to put some faces to names and meet up with people who have either telephoned or emailed me about our beautiful breed. Hopefully those who came gleaned the information they required from the many exhibitors present and had a chance to pat some of the lovely whippets. Thank you for coming and I hope you enjoyed your day.
We always have our warm coats available all throughout the year at a very reasonable price. Here in Victoria the weather is never too hot for a warm coat especially at night. I have ordered more stock of our collars and lead/collar sets. Yes the ones that make your whippets look like a million dollars!!!. The sets sold out completely at the Champ Show which shows just how popular they are. I can always send through pics of what I have in stock if you let me know your colour preferences.
If you missed out on seeing whippets “in the flesh” at the Champ Show our next Event will be our Open Show on November 9th once again at the KCC Park Skye. Full details of this show are on our “Events” page and show schedule appears on the website too. It will be held in conjunction with a Breed Competition which you can enter on the day. If your recent acquisition is a registered puppy consult your breeder and perhaps you may like to enter your puppy in the Show. Our breeders are always delighted to see how their puppies are progressing. You may even be bitten by the “Show Bug”!!! It can be a lot of fun!!!
I know a lot of you are “hanging out” for another Lure Race/Fun Day at Healesville. This year we have managed to squeeze one more into our busy schedule. It will be on November 23rd BUT start time will be 12 NOON. Please be aware that the greyhounds might still be trialling so don’t remove your dogs from the car (EVEN ON LEASH) if you can still see the greyhounds in the complex. This is most important!!! If the weather is hot you may remove your whippets from the cars but keep them (on leash at all times) way up the back of the car park. It is extremely important that you adhere to this ruling otherwise we will lose this wonderful venue and you may well “lose” your precious whippet!!!
For those of you who have been looking for a whippet to “rescue” all we have at present appears on the website. Unfortunately we cannot keep a list of names of people waiting for “rescues” so please just keep checking our website because it is updated immediately when a whippet we know of becomes available. The folk at “rescue” don’t necessarily know a lot about the dogs in questions but there are always contact details of people/establishment next to the info to contact who can tell you more about the whippets. Also it would pay to do you own homework and search the internet or call the pounds and shelters around Victoria on a regular basis as often we are not informed about all the whippets looking for homes. Those of you who don’t have a computer or internet go to your local library. You will find the assistants there to be most helpful getting you started to look on the internet. Happy Whippeting!!!!! RCM
