Racing fun & placements!

Last weekend was our meet for MAWRA (Mid-Atlantic Whippet Racing Association) under the CWA program. Butters (Ch. Surrey Hill's Golden Boy) practiced on Saturday then entered as the only puppy on Sunday. He had 3 beautiful runs. He qualified for the match for being High Score Puppy and took a 2nd place behind his beautiful half-sister Caper, Surrey Hill's Petaluma.

Baby Bernie (Mariner's Drunken Sailor) is now box broken at 7.5 months of age and will start puppy racing in July.

ASFA Coursing 1st for Jewel

Jewel (Surrey Hill's Ripon Jewel) continues her winning ways, this time on the coursing field by going 1st in the Open stake under Judge Vanessa Johnson at the CHAMP ASFA field trial in Leesburg, VA. Jewel was piloted to this win by Ian and Carlee Davies (ASLAN Rhodesian Ridgebacks). This is her first placement toward her Field Champion title.

New Champion Butters!

Announcing a new champion--Surrey Hill's Golden Boy (Ch. Chelsea Chalcedoney x Ch. Diablesse Surrey Hill Say Yaha), bred by Karen Lee & Leila Anchini-Downen, and owned by Kristen Fredericks and Karen Lee.

"Butters" has had quite a week--he did well at the National and had his first cross-country flights, and now he is a champion, finishing today under Avery Gaudin at Bucks County KC in PA.

He only needed one point, so WD was sufficient. Butters is not quite 13 months old."Butters" is the first champion for his sire, and is out of "Jasper's" first litter. He is the third champion son for his dam. Butters" was presented today by Laura Kieffer, who has handled him throughout his class career. Thanks, as always, to Laura for the fabulous job she does presenting our dogs.
