I had an entry of some top quality bitches at this, my last judging appointment. I was very happy with my top winner’s true to type and lovely quality. Some fronts were a problem heavy and elbows not under their bodies and please breeders do not lose the correct topline for it is very important as this makes a whippet a whippet, over long backs are not functional and a few were dipping behind the shoulder.
Thank you to the Whippet Club and to Jackie Hawkins and Rachel Samber, my two very helpful stewards.

She has the most wonderful depth and underline correct length of loin which is strong and enables her to hold her perfect topline on the move. She moves with a long, easy stride so smooth over the ground. Her pretty head is so proud, front neck and shoulders first class.
