MILESCROSS WHIPPETS NEWS
November 2022
Roxy Bird is a Champion! In all my years of showing at our NCWFA Specialties [every year since 1995, except 2004] one of my personal dogs has never been better than Reserve, although we have won plenty at our Supported Entry. It was a great thrill to watch the Bird finish with BOW at our 'home' show, with all our friends watching!

June 2022
It has been a busy & eventful 8 months since we last checked in with News! Wilson has been a Dock Diving sensation, earning his Dock Master & Dock Elite titles! This means he has jumped 25 feet in distance five times or more into a regulation pool at NADD competitions. I am still amazed that a whippet I bred actually likes water enough to jump into a pool after a toy. Brother Odi earned his TKI title and thrilled us all by earning .333 of an ARX race point, by coming in 11th in a 52 dog meet. Our first ARX-pointed Milescross whippet since Jet! The Bird, who really is the word, continued her march to her show championship, only needing those elusive majors to finish. And Ava is almost race trained & no longer tried to exit stage left when in the show ring!

We had a fun National in Santa Fe! In addition to finding the best enchiladas suiza I've ever had & a giant Jackelope, the current show team had a good showing, as well. Ava was first in the Novice Bitch class & Odi was third in BBE Dogs. The brace of Odi & the Bird made their debut & while they did not place in their class, we are forever thankful to Mary Huff for getting photographic proof that they did indeed take at least one step in sync!

May 2021We went to our first shows in over 18 months & had a blast at the "Whippet Extravaganza" in Escondido. Roxy-Bird won the Miss Consistency Award by placing in every class she was entered in over the weekend, including an exciting sweepstakes first at the AWC Western. Odi had a nice debut, placing in all his BBE classes & being awarded RWD at the SCWA Specialty.

We had a fun National Specialty! Old Man TJ got to come along on the road trip and thoroughly enjoyed showing once again. He barked, wagged, lept and made a spectacle of himself in Veteran Sweeps and charmed judge Mary Dukes into awarding him first place in the 12 + Dog Class.. TJ also won a second place in the regular 12 + dog class! Teej's nephew Clark got in the act too, winning Donna a plate with his 4th placement in the Am Bred Dog Class.

Bella J. (FC Milescross Aurene, SC) completes her AKC Field Championship, from the Veteran Class, at the NCWFA AKC Lure Trial, with the highest score of any whippet of the day! Imagine what she could have done if she was lure coursed more than one day a year? :)
