The Continental Whippet Alliance was formed to achieve the following objectives:

1. to unite Whippet fanciers with the common goal of promoting, protecting and preserving purebred Whippet racing

2. to encourage and promote quality in the breeding and racing of Whippets and to do all that is possible to bring their natural in-stincts to perfection

3. to urge members and breeders to accept the Whippet Standard of the Breed as approved by the American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence for Whippets

4. to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the Whippet by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at race meets and conformation competitions and by pro-viding a friendly and enjoyable environment

5. to provide a testing ground for Whippets to demonstrate they still have the instinct, de-sire and physical ability to do the athletic ac-tivity they were bred for, helping to maintain the Whippet as a healthy breed

From the Editor I do believe turnaround on this issue might be a new world record! I appreciate that nearly everyone was able to get their material in on time, which allowed me to keep on schedule. To the few people who weren't able to meet the short extended deadline, I apologize that I couldn't wait any longer. I'll be happy to include your material in the next issue, so please do send it along.

Speaking of the next issue, it will be the always eagerly awaited Annual Top Ten issue... that's right, the issue with all the FREE ADS! Yes, you heard me right, FREE ADS for all the whippets lucky enough to land a spot in the racing, high combined, and conformation Top Tens, and FREE PHOTOS of all the honorable mention dogs (#11-20) in each set of standings! And if your dog was both fast and beautiful enough to finish in multiple sets of standings, then they are entitled to a free ad and/or photo for each accomplishment, or you can combine into one ad if that is easier! You're only limited by your creativity and your ability to meet the deadline, so if you've got a contender, get that deadline on your calendars now and start plan-ning your ads. The only requirement for the ads is that they must reference somewhere the appropriate Top Ten and placement, e.g. High Combined #1. The Honorable Mention photos can be any photo — stacked, running or candid — of your choice.

As this issue goes to press, there is still one last meet left on the calendar, so the final standings are not yet avail-able. But keep an eye on the CWA website for updates, and I'll be contacting the lucky owners in person as soon as the year-end standings are finalized. I hope that every-one whose dogs earned top honors in 2017 will partic-ipate in this important historic issue. Please don't make me beg (or at least not repeatedly)! I would like to be able to get this issue out before the end of January, but I can only do it with your help and cooperation in meeting the deadline.

Of course, regular adver-tising is always welcome at the regular rate of $15 for a full page. The dead-line for ads and other submissions will be January 15th.

As 2017 comes to a close, I want to wish everyone in the CWA family Happy Holidays, whatever that holiday may be, and all the best in the 2018.

This year’s Dairyland Whippet Club’s Labor Day events featured fantastic weather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The temperatures were in the 70s on

Saturday and 80s on Sunday with low humidity.

The beautiful weather made for a hungry group both days, which enjoyed the spiral baked ham potluck. There were many delicious side dishes and desserts.

Saturday’s conformation match was judged by Candace Huzel Her selections were: 1st – Bolt, 2nd – Lottie, 3rd –

Cash, 4th – Venus. High Combined was Venus.

Bill Graham judged the Sunday conformation match. He awarded CWA ribbons to: 1st Rake, 2nd Bolt, 3rd Leni and 4th Lottie. High Combined was Rake.

September 3rd was also the 51st anniversary of Doug and Mary Beth Arthur. There was a large cookie commem-orating that occasion.

We would like to thank all those participants who donat-ed prizes. The trophy table was full with a wide variety of items for the winners to select from.

A huge thank you also to those who helped officiate during both days of exciting racing. The weekend could not have been a success without everyone working together and offering to help. Special thanks to those people who came and helped who did not have a dog competing: Susan Cook, Tom and Lyn Moran, Ule James, Mary Huff, Carol Smith and Carol Halliday.

A big thank you especially to Jennifer Smith and Peggy Berg who shared the box-operating duties, Janet Siehn-

Thank you to everyone who helped catch or take down someone else’s whippets. You are all great! It is truly a group effort to put on these events and we thank you

all. Hope to see all of you back at Arthur’s Acres next year Labor Day weekend.

I repeat again, we have been so lucky with weather this year! Once again, we had two wonderful early autumn days for our annual autumn race meet in Co-

lumbus, Minnesota! There was a threat of rain for Sat-urday, but thankfully it never materialized.

As always, the food was good, the dogs were fast, and the company wonderful!

We had 20 whippets on Saturday: four D dogs, seven C dogs, seven B dogs and two A dogs.

Deuce won the meet undefeated, earning 4 NARX points. Rake was second, earning 2 NARX points. Third in the meet was Bender, earning 4 ARX points. The second set of 2 ARX points went to Gustavo who was fourth in the meet. Our turtle was Erik.

Annie Parisi judged the conformation match on Saturday and placed Leni, Chip, Bolt and Deuce. Bolt earned the DPC credit and Deuce was High Combined.

We dropped down to 13 dogs for Sunday: one D dog, six C dogs, three B dogs and two A dogs.

What an awesome weekend of racing! The fire ants put a little damper on it for some of us, but we managed. Lesson learned not to let

the field grow during the summer between meets so the farmer can get more cuttings off our property.

The weather was in the upper 80s during the day and in the 60s at night, perfect for camping and indeed we had several people camping out of their vehicles this weekend.

Thank you Dawn McDonald for bringing everyone’s breakfast favorite, pigs in a blanket. The made-from-scratch biscuits my husband, Dave, made were out of this world.

We decided to not break for lunch but to instead throw sandwich fixins out and let people come and eat as they could. Thanks to Deana McNamer and Mary Pick from

bringing the meat and bread, and to Lisa Saunders for bringing salads to go with them.

Saturday we had 36 adults and one puppy. Our top NARX points went to meet winner Skywalker, second set of points to Jedi, and last set to Mudbug, all owned by Maurice and Deborah Bahm.

Top ARX points (5) went to FTE Stella, who was sixth in the meet! Congrats to Nancy Therese, Dan McCarel and breeder/co-owner Donna Miner on Stella’s most AWESOME weekend from proofing on Friday, to FTE on Saturday, to leaving with 10 ARX points on Sunday! I imagine Nancy flew home and made it an easy trip for travelling partner, Liz.

The second set of ARX points was awarded to Khaleesi, and third set to Josephine, both owned by Maurice and Deborah Bahm.

Our match was judged by longtime whippet breeder/judge Nubby Errickson of Amigo whippets. What an honor! We had a match entry of 21 of our 36 running whippets. Makes me smile when we have over half our entry participating in the match.

Match placements were awarded as follows: first Elliott, second Weston, third Dora, and fourth Caroline. Three of these dog have some pretty nice AWC Specialty wins under their belts. There was no DPC leg available today. Our High Combined was Weston!

Sunday held steady at 36 dogs and one pup. The weath-er was still perfect!

Mudbug was our meet winner taking home 5 NARX points, followed by Skywalker and Jedi. All three are owned by Maurice and Deborah Bahm. Huge congrats! I think Mudbug is going to be a dog to watch in the future.

Top ARX points again went to Stella, Domino Ottawa

Star. This little girl is HOT! She went from an FTE on Saturday to leaving with 10 ARX points on Sunday! The second set of ARX points went to one of GRR’s own,

Brooks, Rhine’s Thunder Rolls at Raybar. Congrats Cindy and Angela on his first 3 ARX points! The last ARX point went to Remington owned by the Bahms. Our match judge was Kellee Livingstone, who was a race secretary for CWA in California before she moved to North Carolina! I was so excited that she accepted to come judge as I had been trying to get her to come to a CWA meet here on the East Coast since she moved. She judged 14 dogs and her placements were as follows: first Brooks, second Weston, third Dora, and fourth Herkules. The DPC leg went to Brooks and he was also our High Combined winner! What an awesome day for Brooks, who placed 9th in a 36 dog meet for 3 ARX points, and went on to win the match and earn the coveted High Combined award! People that’s what it’s all about! As always we have a lot of fun! We look forward to several new people competing at our December meet.

Thanks for everyone’s help! See you in December!

We had great weather and a great entry of 43 whippets for our Saturday race meet. The races were competitive and very exciting.

At the end of the day, the top dog was Lucky, owned by a very proud Leslie Rosko. Our top bitch who finished in second place was Bindi. Third place was Jake, who picked 6 championship points. Also running well and finishing in fourth place was our High Score Canadian dog, Gibson. That brought big smiles to his happy owners, Nancy and Peter. Nami ran extremely well and took fifth place. I was very happy when I saw that Shayla was sixth and got 4 championship points. The seventh spot went to the always consistent Cosmos. Whoops finished eighth and also picked up 2 championship points. Spangle and Sky-lar ran well and got the final placements in the Top Ten.

Our match was judged by our club president, Debby Knutson. She had four beautiful dogs in her final line up: Boss, Carson, Disco and Bruce. Carson won the High

Combined award.

Our Sunday meet was just as exciting as the previous day and was won by the young up and coming racer, Bindi. She ran strongly and well deserved to be our High Score in Meet. Another fine running youngster, Jake was Best Opposite Sex and took second place. He also got the top ARX points and finished his champion-ship title. Congratulations to his happy owner, Bonnie Charron. Jake’s sister, Nami, also ran well and finished third. Fourth place went to the tough running contender from Canada, Gibson. Shayla, Merry, and Skyler all tied for fifth place. They each got two ARX points. Spangle, Whoopi and Cha Cha rounded out the rest of the top ten.

Our match was judged by long time club member, Guin Borstel. Guin chose Carson, Peaches, Boss, and Eddie as her four placements. Again it was a beautiful line up of winners. Many congratulations to Erynn Lucas

on getting back to back High Combined awards on her handsome boy, Carson.

I have many to thank for working so hard to make both of our meets so successful. Jan Haas did another great job of setting up and taking down. Both were done in a speedy and timely manner. Her helpers, Rick R, Rick K, Steve, Ed, Brad, Val, Charlotte, Tina, Sarah, and Robért all deserve a big thank you. More kudos go to the Fab Four: Mary Jean, Debby, Andrea and Guin. Jen was also included in the Fab Four at the Sunday meet. Barbara Lawson and Kim foul judged every race for both meets. Several other club members kindly volunteered to foul judge too. Our incredible lure operator, Erynn, did her usual great job for both events. She was ably assisted by Peter, Brad, and Rick. Our boxes were expertly run by Kim and Ed on Saturday and Kim and other club mem-bers on Sunday. Darling David was again our lifesaver doing an incredible job of lure return and bringing the

trailer to the college. Debby and Guin, you were both really appreciated for doing such a great job of judging our conformation matches. Lastly I must mention that our meets were superbly run by our great race secretary, Bonnie Moore. She was ably assisted by Charlotte Field-er. To all that I have mentioned, I offer you my sincere thanks and gratitude.

Many, many thanks to everyone for bringing the great food for our pot luck luncheons. Again, we had lots and lots of delicious dishes.

Thank you all so much. The club can feel very proud of the four events you have hosted this year. They have all been successful and had great entries. Let’s hope that next year will be just as great.

To everyone reading this, I want to wish a joyous Christ-mas and a memorable and healthy New Year.

Pretty Darn Quick and Badgerland's October 7th and 8th race meets in Milwaukee were the only club events for 2017 due to the big PGA tour in

the area earlier in the year. However, we made the best of our one and only race meet. As a bonus, it was PDQ's 10th anniversary!

We had whippet cookies for all made by Kristy's mom and Jen, small gifts for every entry and lots of extra special prizes for all, including an incredible wooden whippet planter made from marine grade wood donat-ed by Rick and Gail Strack, won by Levi's mom, Kathy!

While the forecast called for rain all day Saturday, it held off till late in the afternoon when all that was left to do was to eat dessert. The food was wonderful, thanks to all that brought the tasty goods! Jen and Rick were the grill masters, serving up fresh hamburgers, brats and veggie burgers both days.

We had 20 adults racing both days, with no puppies, although to say no puppies were there would be silly, as we had a plethora of puppies in attendance! We had many new faces and Whippets there to watch and enjoy the festivities.

There was time made for everyone who wanted to prac-tice both days. We are hoping they all come back next spring to Arthurs' Acres to train. We had a large gallery both days to watch racing, but we can't have a meet without all those wonderful people that line judge, box, catch, set up and take down.

We had one FTE on Saturday — Niles — who completed all four programs beautifully. We are happy for Georgia and Fred!

Deuce won the meet to take 4 NARX back home to Min-nesota, while Fender took second and earned 2 NARX points.

The top set of 4 ARX points went to Levi, and the bottom set hinged on the results of the last race, in which Bolty turned it up and took his first 2 ARX points.

In the show ring we had Scot Northern judging. Leni didn't put a foot down wrong and took a first place with Jackson, Venus, and Marky rounding out the top four. Venus was High Combined and got the DPC leg. Congrats

to Mary Beth and Doug!

Our bad news for the weekend was Pogue going out with a toe dislocation in the second program on Satur-day. Hoping to see him back on the track next year, if not before!

Sunday was a lovely day for racing. We couldn't have asked for better weather in October. In fact many folks had shorts on.

Deuce swept the weekend picking up another 4 NARX

on Sunday, Story grabbed second place in the meet and with that earned 4 ARX and 2 NARX points! Way to go Story! The bottom set of 2 ARX went to Levi. He had a very good weekend!

In the show ring, we had Kris Benoit as our judge. Leni again took the blue ribbon home, followed by Jackson, Bolty, and Ve-nus. Venus was once again High Combined, and Bolty got his third DPC leg.

We look forward to 2018 being even a better year for our clubs here in WI. We're hopeful that with many new people and whippets, we can continue to grow!

Saturday began as a very warm and humid day for New Jersey in October. We started with 49 dogs (there was miscount on the race secretary’s part,

that would be me, and we originally thought we had 50), one puppy and two match racers. The ground was a bit hard, as it had not rained in a few days, and the bugs were out, but there was no sign of the resident black snake.

Woodford (WildAbout Woodford ARX, PR2, NARX2) was the meet winner earning 6 NARX points. He is owned by Donna Miner, was bred by Annie Kelsey, and ended the day with a perfect score of 29. He is a smooth runner and wonderful to watch. Woodford makes judging the High Point easy, as we usually only have to worry about the other five dogs’ placements, since he is clearly out front.

Coming in second in the meet was Stella (Domino Ot-towa Star RATI, RATN, JC), who was top ARX point winner. She finished her ARX title and also received 4 NARX points. Stella is owned by Nancy and Dan McCarel, was bred by Donna Miner, and finished her ARX in just three

meets.

Capturing the last 2 NARX points and finishing third in the meet was Loon (MBIF, GCh Domino Blue Moon, SC, ARX, RATI, TRP, DPCX, PR6, SRA), who is just returning to the track after having a litter of puppies. Loon is the dam of Stella, who edged her mom out for her second place finish. Loon was bred and is owned by Donna Miner.

Panther (GCh Deerpath Signature Cartier SC), owned by Nancy Jorczak, was fourth in the meet, earning 4 ARX points, and putting her one point shy of her ARX title.

One of the six FTEs entered was Bega (Terrena’s Queen Victoria Bomb, FCh), bred by Terri Deluca and Alena Tune, and owned by Victoria Gise. He received the last set of ARX points (2) by finishing sixth in the meet. It was a great start for Bega, who is an experienced lure courser.

Rounding out the Top Ten were: Revel (DC Oxford’s Revelstoke at Steamboat Rock ARX, DPCX, PR), owned

by Kristen Fredericks, in fifth place ; Bega in sixth place (as previously mentioned); Ronan (Cali’s Ronan the Red of Saturn SC, ARX), owned by owned by Mary and Ernest Pick and Dea-na McNamer, in seventh place; Vega (Terrena’s Silver Lining, ARX, THD, PR2, TRP, CR, CGC, RATI), owned by Julia, Holly and Anthony Solano, in eigth place; Sassy (Domino Saska-toon), owned by Donna Miner), in ninth place; and Echo (Deer-path Apricot Whirl SC), owned by Nancy Jorczak, in tenth place.

The match was judged by Rebec-ca Gardner of Will-O-Wisp Whippets and there were 28 dogs entered. First place in the match was GRRace (Cherche’ GRRace O’Malley) owned by Bheki Bow-man-Mealey, second place was Apple (CH UCh Mystic Run’s Mink Luster SC), owned by Annie Andrews, third place was Woodford (WildAbout Woodford ARX, PR2, NARX2), owned by Donna Miner, and fourth place was Crosby (CH UCh AgStone Wind on the Water), owned by Charlene Stone.

Our high combined for the day was Woodford!

It was a great meet with only eight dogs scratching so we had 41 dogs complete the meet!

As always, the hospitality spread was quite something. We always have enough food for both days! Everyone is so generous with either bringing something or donating to the food fund. Many thanks to Susan Fredericks, our hospitality chair, for all her hard work.

Sunday brought some much needed rain — very light in the morning with a few heavier periods during the day. We started the meet with 35 dogs and one puppy.

As with our Saturday meet, the winner of the Sunday meet, earning 5 NARX points, was Woodford (WildAbout Woodford ARX, PR2, NARX2), owned by Donna Miner, with yet again another perfect score of 29. Following Woodford in second place was Loon (MBIF, GCh Domino Blue Moon, SC, ARX, RATI, TRP, DPCX, PR6, SRA), owned by Donna Miner, for 3 NARX points. Loon traded place-ments with Stella, beating her daughter on the second day. Stella (Domino Ottowa Star RATI, RATN, JC), finished in third place, earned 1 NARX point.

Finishing fourth in the meet was Vega (Terrena’s Silver Lining, ARX, THD, PR2, TRP, CR, CGC, RATI), owned by Julia, Anthony and Holly Solano, and bred by Terri Deluca and Alena Tune. Vega earned 5 ARX points which fin-ished her ARX title!

Fifth and sixth in the meet, respectively, were Revel (DC Oxford’s Revelstoke at Steamboat Rock ARX, DPCX, PR), owned by Kristen Fredericks, and Ronan (Cali’s Ronan the Red of Saturn SC, ARX), owned by Mary and Ernest Pick and Deana McNamer.

India (CH Mariner Diablesse Bristol Bombay of Surrey Hill) finished seventh in the meet earning her first 3

MAWRA Mid-Atlantic Whippet Racing AssnOctober 7/8, 2017Pennsville, NJ

report and photos by Liz Aiello

ARX points. India is owned by Karen Lee and Liz Aiello (me) and was bred by Karen Lee and Kristen Fredericks.

The last ARX point on Sunday was split between the 8th, 9th and 10th place finishers: AJ (CH Mariner’s Moose Tracks at Surrey Hill RN FCh), owned by Deb Hanna: Ly-nesse (Panache We Light the Way at Diablesse), owned by Pat Spinazzola; and Sassy (Domino Saskatoon), owned by Donna Miner, each earned .333 ARX point!

The Sunday match was much smaller than Saturday, with 14 entered, and was judged by Sue Nichols of Light-fall Whippets. The placements were: first place, Tanner (DC Aperture Longleson Go Up the Plumcreek FCh, SC), owned by Jean and Chuck Brown; second place, Bend-er (Mariner’s Robot Monster at Surrey Hill), the puppy racer, owned by Karen Lee and Kristen Fredericks; third place, Sassy (Domino Saskatoon) and fourth place, Ly-nesse (Panache We Light the Way).

The match placements set up for a tie for High Com-

bined between Sassy, who came in third in the match and tenth in the meet, and Lynesse, who came in fourth in the match and ninth in the meet. Since this is a race meet and the race placement breaks the tie, the High Combined was awarded to Lynesse!

A shout out to Anna Fredericks, our Trophy Chair, who always makes sure we have a great prize selection to offer the winners. She does a great job picking items up here and there and many are unique.

The people that typically show up for the MAWRA meets are a great group. We have people come with no dogs to run, or just one D dog to run, but come more to just help out. Without those people we could not hold a meet, especially the size of a meet like Saturday’s. And so many of the group are always willing to line judge, walk dogs down the track, catch dogs and generally do whatever is needed to keep the meet moving. Thank you all!

In June the newest strain of canine influenza hit the Gulf coast with a vengeance. This highly contagious disease made its way into the kennels of many AAWC

members and in one case an afghan hound was lost. The AAWC board quickly responded to its members in need with matching programs for inoculation and test-ing. Thus the Rohan program was initiated. To aide in fund-raising, AAWC designated the October race meet as the “Run Whippet, Run, for Charity and Fun!” event.

How prophetic this would be when in August, Hurri-cane Harvey came into the gulf and devastated many communities. Again our AAWC members were affected, with fences and roofs blown away and flooding. Our race track went underwater and landowners Lawrence and Angela Collins housed fellow flooded whippet owners in their barely dry home.

September was weather watching at its most intense, and a sigh of relief when the wet left and dry came back. The meet was on and despite the heat (record setting), AAWC members and guests came together mid-October to run, have fun and celebrate the blessing we have with our dogs after several months of self imposed quaran-tine and the weathering of the hurricane’s worst.

Twenty-three adults took to the track on Saturday. AAWC welcomed the Barnes family and their FTE Bella Marie. Bella got off to a shaky start but by the end of the weekend was running happily in the crowd.

The heat was great for drying out the swamp surround-ing the track, however it also took its toll on the humans, who opted for a three program day. The high point rac-es were a mix up with Skywalker, Jedi and Mudbug all taking a win.

Jedi was able to take the high set of NARX points with a meet win, and Mudbug came in second for the lower set. Skywalker was third in the meet, followed by Leia, Solo, and Banks. Brando was seventh in the meet for 4 ARX points which finished his title. Litter brother Finn

was behind him, and in ninth place was litter sister Jade who earned the lower set of 2 ARX points.

AAWC Vice President Natalie Amendola judged the match of six entrants, selecting Remington, Leia, Mud-bug and Jillian. High combined for the meet was Mud-bug.

With the afternoon heat rising , most of the event goers took to local restaurants and relief from the heat in air- conditioning. A few retired to the A/C in motorhomes for welcome siestas. Late night gathering to discuss the hurricane relief efforts and sharing the close encouter stories was the perfect end to the first day of racing.

Sunday began with a dry wind and less humidity than the previous day. For those unfamiliar with the Gulf coast, there is heat and there is Heat Index. And for AAWC race meets there is Lure Operator Melt Index. Sunday both the lure operator and the back-up declared LOMI and the meet was approved for three programs. With the most recent years having higher temps in October, AAWC will look to move our fall meet to a later date in 2018.

Despite the heat, 21 adults and two puppies started. Mudbug continued his winning ways with two high point race wins. Skywalker won the last high point and finished second in the meet for 2 NARX points behind Mudbug, who picked up 4 NARX points. The next finishers were Solo, Jedi, Leia, Finn and Banks. Stormy in eighth place picked up the high set of 4 ARX points. Shooter was ninth for 2 ARX points. Puppy Obi ran undefeated with Kelli second.

Jessica McHarg judged the match of six entrants , select-ing the puppy Kelli as her best in match. Adult Banks was second and earned the meet’s high combined. Tres was third and Jillian fourth. Ending the race meet weekend and packing up, the meet was declared a success for several reasons. First, dogs and humans had survived the disasters relatively unscathed. Second, money was raised for several club endeavors, including the addition of new race boxes, and to further our goals of giving back to some of the hardest working racers in the country. And not least, AAWC continues to have race meets sig-nificant for the cooperation and comaraderie that helps us endure whatever is thrown our way.

It was the last race meet weekend of the year, and it was a weekend of typical fall weather in the North-west! The last meet weekend of the year for Racing

For Fun was held again at the wonderful field at What-com School in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The field there is in such great shape that not even a fall mon-soon could turn it into a bog. We so appreciate the use of such a wonderful facility.

On Saturday it rained and rained, monsoon-like. Thank goodness for the strong chain link fence around the field — EZ-ups could be anchored from the wind and rain. There were a few brief rain reprieve, one in time for the fun match. Despite the dismal weather it was still a fun day full of great racing, great friends, great food, and lots of laughs. On Sunday the rain held off until match photo time. There were even a few sun breaks during

the day. Once again a great day of racing, food and fun.

A big congratulation to the Szabos and Gibson for a flawless performance to win both meets. Second place each day went to Sage, and third each day to Heidi. A big congratulations to Heather and Bjorn Wullum on Sage’s new ARX!

Saturday’s top ten in the meet were Gibson, Sage, Heidi, Leonard, Phoenix, Finch, Mia, Iris, Athena, Portia.

Saturday match judge Linda Johnston gave the win to Austin, piloted by owner Beth Levine, and second to Finch, piloted by Jennifer Szabo for owner Beth Levine. Third place went to Jewels, piloted by owner Emily Mill-er, and fourth to Hokum, piloted by his owner Mary Downing.
