Bernie (Mariner's Drunken Sailor) turned 6 months old on March 26th and on March 29th he went to the MAWRA club race practice. While he was there Laura Kieffer (Pixel Whippets) took the opportunity to stack him up for a impromtu photoshoot with her mother and professional photographer, Terri Kieffer.
Bernie is a mix of old American and Canadian dual purpose and racing lines. I'm very pleased with his progress! He'll be shown a little this Spring and Summer before we commit to racing him later this year.
Butters (Surrey Hill's Golden Boy) received his second major from the 9-12 puppy class at the Lancaster KC show in York, PA under judge Harry Smith by going Winners Dog, Best of Winners, and Best Opposite Sex over Specials. He was also Best puppy and went on to a Puppy Group 3! He was handled by Laura Kieffer. Also pictures, Breeder and Co-Owner Karen Bowers Lee.
My name is Kristen Fredericks and I'm owned by the Mariner Whippets. My partner is Shelton Carter. We live in historic Smithfield, VA in a renovated c. 1754 Tidewater farmhouse at the mouth of the Pagan and James Rivers.
The Mariner Whippets do EVERYTHING! We participate in AKC conformation shows, racing and lure coursing. They are also highly gifted in the sport of food stealing, bed hogging and just being cute.
