Comparing mum and daugter

The top photo was taken 2006 at Mariefred when Memma won a huge puppy class under Jackie Bourdin, in the photo she is on the table being examined when competing for best puppy judged by Nenne Runsten. Memma is just over 4 months old in the photo. The photo below of Memma's daughter Lizzy is reversed and in the photo she is nearly 4 months old.

A puppy soon 4 months old can look quite different....

depending on how you stack it!!!

Friday, Saturday and Sunday one could show whippets each day in the north of Sweden. Several whippets bred by Play A While were shown each day with very good results. We were especially happy to hear that Susanne Forsgren had entered "Mira", Play A While Tiimari considering she was lost for two weeks in a huge forest area but finally came home! Mira did very well winning the open class and was best bitch number 4 under Susanne Oschinski (Whipcat) Friday and fifth best bitch Saturday under Bitte Ahrens (Sobers).

Saturday Play A While A Room With A View ended up best bitch and BOS under Bitte Ahrens winning a first CAC!! "Saga" is owned by Ursula Andersson of Skyborne whippets.

Also Play A While A Passage To India "Sakkari" and litter sister Play A While Pippington Park "Greta" were placed in their classes the days they were shown.

Puppies 4.5 weeks - first try standing!

Det går framåt!

Sedan jag blev godkänd på preparandkursen i maj så har jag varit flitig som domarelev på utställningar i Sverige, Norge och Danmark. Nu har jag kommit så långt att jag är aspirant på ett flertal raser, så nu börjar "allvaret"!:) Från och med nu så skall domarna istället kolla mina kunskaper jömför med innan då de skulle berätta och lära mig om de aktuella raserna (whippet, italiensk vinthund, greyhound, saluki och irländsk varghund). Det är mycket, mycket roligt och givande med denna utbildningen och förhoppningsvis blir det egna dömandet längre fram lika spännade!

Elisabeth Ahsltröm fotade mig i Borås när jag var elev på italiensk vinthund under Saija Juutilainen (Wallaby's salukis i Finland).
