Turriff Show

I had a nice day at Tuffiff District and Agricultural show on sunday 3rd August, though i took my camera with me the batteries had died!!! I spent most of the day stewarding in the working ring, it was my first time doing so and i enjoyed it. We had two dogs entered, it had been a long day for them as we arrived at the show ground at 930am and the whippets didnt get in the ring until 1pm, by that point i think Jake and Keano were a little fed up.

So here are the results for the Whippets

We had a lovely day at the show with my dad and jake taken 3rd in the limit class and Keano winning the open class!

Well done to everyone on the cards it was sunny and warm what more could we have asked for!

Hound Association of Scotland

Myself, Dad, Jake and Keano made the long journey down to Kelso on Sat for the Hound Association of Scotland which is held at Kelso. It was a lovely day the sun was shinning for a change. Jake was entered in the Post Grad class although he showed his wee socks off he didnt get anything. Myself and Keano were in the Mid Limit class and much to my delight Keano received a 2nd!! alot of people commented that he should of won his class which was nice. The judge was Albert Richie.

Crufts 2009

Well it is that time of year when Crufts is upon us alreay!!! Me and Keano will be traveling down tonight. We will be leaving Buckie around 5ish and meeting Marie in Kintore. Where our journey will take us to pick up Sheligha and Stripes in Dundee. We will then be traveling down to meet the coach which will be leaving the forth road bridge and 2315. We hope to arrive at the NECC at 7ish tomorrow morning.

I am taking me camera so hopefully i will have some lovely picts!

Keano's new outfit for Crufts!

Keano thought he would treat himself to a new outfit for Crufts, he wanted something that would make him stand out amoungst all the rest of the dogs. However i think he has went too far!!

Walks with the dogs

Whippets love nothing but a good run and walk! Am lucky to live in such a beutiful part of the world so finding somewhere to go isnt a prob! Here are some photo's taken during the summer.

Our dogs

At the moment Keano is the only dog that lives with me. The other five live with the parents and half the time you dont even know they are in the house until of course leds and biscuits are produced! When all six of them are together they love nothing better then snuggling up together, usually you will find Jake lying on top of someone. Keano hates football!! and when its on he can be found under the table or under the duvet upstairs, strange he is named after a football player!!

First Show of the year

Me and Keano had our first show of the year yesterday and it was sooooo cold when we left Buckie, i had Keano nice warm jacket on at least some of us were cosy. It was a short hour long journey to Thainstone where our rings had been moved to another hall i started to panic when i went into the main hall i couldnt seen any hounds!!! I am glad our rings were moved because you couldnt get moved in the bigger hall.

I didnt have any epections today as i was manly going to get some practise before Crufts and as Keano is a tad over weight at the moment i thought i would be happy just to get placed in the class. It was the biggest entry of whippets ever i think at the show with a total of 35!!! Keano was in open which had the biggest entry of 12!! There were only two boys including him in the class the rest were bitches and all fawn.

My boy did me proud and went well enough for him to be placed 1st!!! I was over the moon because i really didnt think i would get anything if am being honest. So the Speymalt team is off to a good start to the year i hope it contiues.

Here are the results for the whippets i did take my camera but as usual it stayed in my bag!

Its a dogs Life!

How cool would it to be a dog. You sleep, you get feed, taken for walks and best of all you can sleep whenever and where ever you want!!!

In Keano's world he loves nothing better than streaching out on my bed, sleeping under the covers and on my pillow.!! But how can you get a dog with a face as cute as his in trouble!!
