Silver's Critiques

Banwen - 3 May ‘08

BP, the delightful, super quality whippet, Koppelwell Kurious Kactus, at just over 6 months was completely un-phased by the day, nothing curious about this one, shapely, elegant & balanced outline of good proportions & covering ground when stacked, most feminine of head, lovely dark oval eyes, moved as sound as a bell. J-1st, BPIS

Nothing curious about this lovely brindle baby. Sweetest of heads, long neck fitting into a well laid shoulder, good feet, correct topline for her age with arch over the loin, well bent stifles, excelled on the move, has lovely balance and quality, loved her. MPB-1st, N-1st, BPIS

National Dog Show CH - 11 May ‘08

I realise having only one entry in OB  & that being a minor puppy caused quite a stir, but on checking the KC rules & regs etc F (1) 3.61 21 judges & judging n. An award may be withheld if in the opinion of the judge there is a lack of sufficient merit. I obviously thought she had sufficient merit to award a first & Stud Book number. She was shortlisted in a super MP class & 5th Novice giving age away all round. On getting home I read that only two weeks previously she had gone BPIS under two breed specialists at a club ch show.
Shortlisted in the strong MP class I felt this bitch showed sufficient merit as to be awarded first in this class. Obviously very much a baby she has all the makings of a very nice Whippet, completely sound from all angles, well balanced & in super condition, pretty head, correct length of neck, well angled shoulders, many thanks to all at ringside for staying and supporting this novice owner. O-1st

Taunton & DCA - 29 May ‘08

A beautiful brindle/white bitch puppy which is most certainly one for the future and high honours. At present she conforms closely to the standard conformation requirements for one so young and hopefully will continue to mature. She moved confidently around the ring with accuracy, good extension and drive. P-1st, L-1st, BP, PG2
