Bree ended this year in great style, she won Best of Breed at Swedens largest KC show of the year!
She gained a CC & Cacib and a new fancy title: Nordic Winner -07. She is also qualified to Crufts with this win. Judge was Anne MacDonald, UK.
She then went on to be Group 3 in the final ring. Judge there David Miller, USA.

A perfect way to end this years showing, 3 Cacib's & 3 CC's in 3 different countries under 3 different judges within 3 weeks!

Steffie was out for the first time after having her puppies and was placed 3rd out of 5 in champion class with CK.

We received a few new pictures from Leo in his new home.

Sotis is doing wonderful after her surgery, she has slowly started to walk on her front left leg again, but when outside she still jumps on 3 legs.

Tiger has fathered a nice litter at kennel Tappinskis, added to links.

We went to Helsinki, Finland this weekend and Bree was 2nd Best bitch only defeated by an International Champion once again.
So she gained a Finnish CC (which unfortunatley she is to young to have any use of due to some strange rules, but we were already aware of this) and a R-Cacib which will be converted to a Cacib after going via FCI since the winning bitch already is a confirmed International Champion. Judge was Åge Gjetnes from Norway.

Leo has moved to his new family that has been waiting for him a long time!

A few new pictures of Stavros.

We went to Hamar, Norway this weekend and Bree was 2nd Best bitch only defeated by an International Champion.
So she gained a Norwegian CC and a R-Cacib which will be converted to a Cacib after going via FCI, not bad for our 17 month old bitch.

Tiger won youthclass and Hugo was 4th in open, both gaining CK (champion quality awards). They were not placed in BD line up. Judge was Jarmo Vuorinen from Finland.

Tomorrow we are taking Sotis back to the Animal hospital to take X-rays of her shoulder, we're hoping everything looks good and in place....

Sadly we had to put Steffies first born son to sleep last week, may he rest in peace.

And another bitch puppy named Grace, moved to her new home.

Sotis is doing very good without the bandages, she does have alot of work ahead with learning how to use all 4 legs again.

The puppies have started to move to their own homes now.
And they all have new 8 week pictures up!

We had to take Sotis back to the animal hospital today since she started to get sores from wearing the bandage for so long. So they decided to take it off now so she wouldn't start to get infected instead. Now we must keep a close eye on especially one sore on her foot.

The puppies have got names, look at their own pages.

Sotis tonight, a little tired after a long day visiting two different vets...

November 2nd

Several new walking leads, you will find them on the Koppel page.

I'm going to pick up Sotis today at the Animal Hospital, she had her shoulder fixated on monday and is ready to come home now.

She is home now!! Look at the wonderful heart the staff put on her....

B.S. Makena, B.S. Lake Shore Drive & B.S. Midsummer Love all took their Lure Coursing licences yesterday.
B.S. Midsummer Breeze ran for the first time with an other dog and finished her first test.

Now to some not as fun news, Sotis is at the Animal Hospital since last friday with a unusal shoulder dislocation.
Hopefully she will have surgery today. She was hit right on the shoulder last year by another dog (not Whippet) and it has gone from bad to worse, and now it's popping out of placement since all muscles and ligaments thats supposed to keep it in place are stretched out and damaged.
We are hoping for a successful operation and a quick healing for our wonderful and beautiful girl.....

Several new walking leads, you will find them on the Koppel page.

Some pictures of the puppies on the 2007 puppy page.

We lost one of Steffies baby boys today, may he rest in peace.

Judge Terry Nethercott, UK

Both Bree & Kelsey have placed among the 5 best bitches at the shows they have been to.
Steffie unfortunatly has a small toe injury after lure cousing early this summer, not showing her best, but now she will have some time to heal and relax.....maybe....

It's been a busy couple of weeks both in the dog world and in my "real" life.

This past weekend at a Sighthound show in Sweden Bree won her first CC after winning a large Juniorclass.

In Sweden

After spending the night at a hotel we took the ferry to Denmark and attended a Kennel club show. It went even better here, Bree was Best Bitch, but is to young to recieve a Cacib so it was passed on to the 2nd BB, but she did get a Danish CC and BOS.

Bree didn't place in her own class but ended up 3rd in Brace class with her littermate William that I Co-own and is living in Kentucky with Patience Renzulli at Warburton whippets. Here they are expertly handeled by Patience.

Steffie was entered in Open bitch class were she was placed 4th out of some 50 bitches!

William was in a close fight for 1st place in his class 9-12 months male puppies, but was eventually defeated and ended up 2nd.
