Some of Echo & Wizzy's Offspring:
2 litters of Whippets born Feb 5, 2000 and October 14th, 2000

BIS / BISS UCH/Can Ch. Lepus Chien Tang, RChS, VSR, JOR2 - female
aka "Tara" - B. 2/5/00 - photos at 1 year of age.

  

"Tara" started racing during her second year.  She had to be started off slowly due to an accident that dislocated a pastern joint when she was 4 months old.  She is sound now and can run multiple days in a row.  This girl has a temperament to "die for"!!  She is sweet as pie and just a lovely bitch to live with.  She has done some wonderful wins, including Best Puppy in Breeder's Match at the Belleville & District Kennel Club Show under FOUR different judges.  She has had multiple BOB and Group placings.  She was bred in 2004 to our "Willie".  Her 4 show offspring have  Conformation titles, are finished race champions and/or pointed in racing, have awesome temperaments, are athletic and sound, healthy whippets.  We are VERY pleased with them!  Tara's  PEDIGREE.   Puppies were born on June 18th, 2004.  You can view some puppy photos HERE. 

FLASH! Sept 3, 2007:  Tara went Best In Show at the United Greyhound Club Show, under Judge Pamela Moore.  She was in good company in the ring:  several top BIS dogs were present, including a World Show Winner/multi BIS, along with some multi group winning dogs.  We are thrilled to have our little girl win such a prestigious award at the tender age of SEVEN!! 

FLASH! November 2007:  Tara has finished her UKC Champion Title on November 17th, 2007, at the age of almost 8 years!!  She still has what it takes.  She finished with a BOB/Group 2nd, but then went on to get three more BOBs and GROUP FIRSTS, the rest of the weekend!!  What a girl!

Tara was #2 whippet UKC for 2007 !!

Sam went on sabbatical for a couple of years, but came out and has done some singles stake lure coursing (1st place) during the end of 2004.  He will be back out racing and hopefully doing some Lure Coursing in 2005.  Sam measures in at 21.5".   

Whippet CH. LEPUS IRONWING
(Ch. Lepus Wizard and Glass, FCh, RChX  X Ch. Lepus Sirens Echo , FCh, RChS, ORM)
 

"Kaelan" is from Echo and Wizzy's first litter (Feb. 5, 2000).  He is a stunning dog, who finished his Canadian Championship very quickly with BOB/BW and BOS/BW over Specials.  We are very proud of this whippet, who is a litter brother of Sam.   Kaelan had a difficult start in that we had to remove him from his previous home.  He has some emotional traumas to overcome and slowly but surely he is getting better.   He is a sweet lovable soul, and we are confident that we can overcome his past experiences so that he can shine in new found confidence.

Kaelan has been used at stud.  His litter was whelped January 19th, 2004 and there are some really pretty, athletic pups in that litter, with lovely, sweet temperaments!   For information, regarding the dam, Ruby , please contact Rhonda Ship via email at:  rhondaship@yahoo.ca .  Here are some photos of "Ruby" Ch. AZURE'S SWEET MELLODEE:

Tailwind Lepus the Right Stuff JC, CRX, OTR, Can/Am Am/Can FCh, RChS, RChO

a.k.a.  "Sgetti"

 

	Sgetti (Tailwind Lepus The Right Stuff) @ 11 weeks
	Sgetti, went Best Altered In Sighthound Specialty, Jul 31, 2005, AHCC Sighthound Specialty Field Trial Conformation Show.  We neutered him due to his size (he is 22.5"), however, he is a beautiful, balanced, sound dog with correct movement, topline, and type.  He has a lovely (silly) disposition.

Ch. Lepus Winterfang aka "Siegfried" - B. 2/5/00

Photo is his Group 1st win at Avalon Kennel Club Show in May 2001 (at 15 months of age).  He was very tired when the photo was taken and did not want to be set up  anymore so the photo isn't the best.  One of these days hopefully he'll have a better photo taken to put on this page!   Siegfried is owned and loved by Deb Sheppard.
