"Folly"

Ch. Sporting Fields Hot Topic X Ch. Grand Prix's Honey Pie)

DOB: 9-17-2010
Breeder: Wendy J. Gay



Folly's OFA page (health test results)

Folly is one of the Tillettes and she was a  most wonderful gift from her breeder, Wendy.  This super-pretty and super-smart little whippet was born on my Mother's birthday and is from a breeding my Mom would have most heartily approved of, she being a huge Sully and Tilly fan.  So when I saw the baby pictures I knew I had to have her!

Folly had given us a lot of excitement as she has grown up, so much so that sometimes it was doubted that she would ever make it to maturity.  Her combination of running hell-bent-for-leather and not always looking where she was going has resulted in lots of large and small cuts and punctures, several dislocated and blown toes, and many new gray hairs for her owner.  She banged up her rear foot pretty badly running on her "track" in the back yard and that foot will never be wholly sound.  Sadly, she detached several tendons in that foot lure coursing and now has a gnarly "flat foot" & was sadly retired from all running sports in the summer of 2018.

She enjoyed racing in CWA and has maintained her high C grade, even though she seemed to always be either in season for our local race meets or just coming in our out.  In the show ring, even with her gnarly boo-boo foot and the fact that we are in the hotbed of strong competition that is California, Folly was awarded four points. She presented us with nine beautiful pups on July 2, 2015.
 Folly was such an incredible mother, but we decided to go out on a high note & she was spayed after this litter.
