Breeder: Guin Borstel
Jade was supposed to be my mother's whippet. However, when Jade was still a very energetic, naughty puppy, my mother was diagnosed with her final illness, so Jade came to live here. Jade stayed a very energetic, naughty puppy until she was over ten-years-old. . Reminiscent of her double great-grandmother, Julia, Jade didn't really care if you thought she was a bad dog, and she definitely had her own agenda at all times. She was lucky she was so darn cute, as her adorableness kept her forgiven for her many transgressions during her long and wayward youth.

Jade was a gorgeous, stretchy, exotic little whippet, with the emphasis on the 'little'. Due mainly to her petite size & worries about some familial health issues that never manifested themselves, she was spayed and retired from the show ring, and will forever rest on the laurels of her four points. I probably should have bred her, but as hindsight in this case was 20-20, that was not in the cards.
Jade most enjoyed dogging her brother T.J.'s every move & snuggling with her buddies Imari & Folly, After many years of destroying first edition books, expensive mouth guards, and other irreplaceables, Jade grew up into the perfect senior whippet. In her senior veteran years, Jade earned the nickname of "Million Dollar Mouth", due to her multiple oral surgeries and extractions.
On the field, Jade was awarded three AKC Lure Coursing points, two from veterans. Apparently, no one knew that she ran her best in below 30 degree temperatures. Unfortunately, we were not willing to winter in WI for her, so three-points was it for Jade. For many years, she was a cheerful and steady schooler of green hounds at coursing and qualified many whippets. At the races, Jade was a serious threat for winning the Turtle award once Imari was retired, but then decided that running was for saps, so she only came out if we need an extra dog, as she would always exit the boxes, but run straight back to the car or join her friends at the trailer.
Jade was retired from all running sports in 2019 due to advancing age. Jade was a great whippet, living until she was almost 17 years old, in good health, other than her nasty teeth, until the end.
