Bernie at 6 months

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.
