Finally Here!
8th January 2022
Saturday evening belonged to our fiurth whippet litter nicknamed "made my day" and puppies' names will start with the letter "D".
The delivery was not the smoothest but Berroo finally gave the birth to seven gorgeous and healthy puppies. To my surprise we got only one brindle dog ant the rest as usual fawn ones. Surprisingly they are very fawn (light), two bitches looking like twins particularly. and they are very alike our Lisbonka (Lisboa). Genes are an unpredictable thing and again the nature reminded us of the real master.
All puppies weighted between 300 and 400 grams and the biggest and first born is the brindle "green" baby dog, the smallest is the "pink" baby girl.

The judges of this season for our club were foreigners, as usual. On Saturday we were judged by Tomasz Kuszyk, a Polish judge and owner of a long-tradition whippet kennel Synergy in Poland. On Sunday we met Mr. Christophe Coppel from Frace, an owner of Dixmoor kennel. Both gentleman are ling-time whippet breeders and breeding experts.

11st September 2021
When I held in my arms the only alive puppy Kaya from "B" litter and prayed for every hour of his life, I would have never imagined that in one year and a hlaf this beautiful fighter will run his first official dogmarathon.
The 3rd season of Herbalus Beskydy Dogmaraton 2021 is a mountain race with dogs which belongs to the series Championshio of the Czech Republic in dogmarathon. This year, the 3th season took place on Saturday 11th September in the beautiful nature of Beskydy Landscape protected Area (CHKO) Moravian-Silesian Beskids-Silesian Beskids exactly. It targets all move lovers in nature, not only runners, but also walkers who want to experience a great race atmosphere with their dog friends, test their limits and make friends.
Dogmarathon measures 42,5 km and is divided into Short one with halftrack and Mini with the track of 6,5 km. Kaya at the age of one year and half and his owner took part in the Short category which is an incredible track of 26 km! He reached the finish and was placed on 37th place in category Women from total number of 100 participants. You both are awsome! Kaya behaved like a pro, pulled forward and enjoyed the whole track. If they had not lost the track, they would have certainly reached a better position. It was their first official race if we do not count the virtual race during the lockdown that I had already mentioned before.
I am totally enthusiastic when I see the owners of my litters pass time with treir babies in such an active way and enjoy physical activity that is so vital to whippets. I am so grateful for them!

3rd September 2021 - 6 months flew fast. All six puppies live their active lives with new families that are also my families. I am in touch with all of them that makes me happy. We deal with everyday happiness and troubles of raising up whippet youth. The owners send me many pictures so I will share some too.
The first-born Tokio (pic.. 1 a 2) aka "Sisi" ia growing into a beauty and she takes after her mother most. She is a tiny whippet baby which shows already now that she will grow into a standard height and not into a giraffe which are quite common among bitches now. According to her mistress, Sisi goes through a separation crisis and dors not want to stay alone. Byt they are working on the problem and they will surely master it as the others did. It needs time. Sisi has always been a stubborn puppy doing the things her way but always kind, cudly and loving the presence of people.

The second-born Lisboa (pic.4) aka "Lisa" nebo "Lili". What to say? I am kenn on her. When I hesitated whether keep her or to find her a new home, the main reason why she stayed with us was her temper. Her character got me as she was a no-problem puppy. It is unbelievable how a nasty cheeky puppy turned into an empathic, sweet and obeying Miss. She loves movement, jumping, chasing after mice and digging holes in the garden. The issue with lack of eating nad gaining weight is over. She is fond of food, especially meat. She copies her mum in a body structure, she is not too tall which entres her into a standard height, hurray! Her hair color is very interesting aas well. I have to admit that light color whippet are not my favorites, it was one of the criterria that decided to have her with us. She literary sparkles among other dogs at home. And this light blue fawn shade is very elegant. I am curious to see what is before us and I cannot wait to discover it.

The third-born Berlin (pic.5) aka "Angel" has been since the birth a sturdy dog and he still is. I do not think he would go over a standard height but he will definitely be a robust dog when adult with a pretty blue fawn color and mesmerie eyes. Apparently he is not such an angel anymore and he can also show his small horns. He is a member of our numerous "Prague Gang" and together with Tokio and Helsinki they take a part in common walks and other activities.
pic.5
The fourth-born Denver (pic.6,7 a 8) aka "Deny" is a real twin of our Lisbona. When we went to pay them a visit I had hard time to recognize who is who. Deny with no problems got used to life tempo in a new pleasant family. He enjoy the big garden for running, less appreciated digging holes and collecting all kinds of staff appropriate for eating. I hope eating snails is over now. He also grows into a sturdy dog, he is not tall so certainly of a standard height and with an interesting elegant color. I am sure to meet him at the show.

The last but one Nairobi (pic. 9 a 10) aka "Nairi" chose the wrong card-which is weak health. At her four months she got ab accident and tore bth fron crossed ligaments of her right leg knee. (pic. foto FB Animal Clinic Praha) She had to undertake a complicated operation which are performed by two clinics only in the whole country. This kind of intervention with such a small puppy is really special. Long bones are still in development and you cannot apply standard operation methods used with adult dogs. But Nairobi was brave and my big thanks go to the owners and Animal Clinic in Prague that they did not give up and were ready to invest huge amount of money to make Nairobi run with the wind again. The operation ended perfectly, the recovery follows the plan and little Nairobi gets into a daily routine of a six-months old dog. The best of luck, hone!

And the last one Helsinky (pic.12 a 13) aka "Helsi" is still a double honey. The owners do not stop praising him. In the summer they attended many trips. They regularly go to the chalet in the Jizersky mountains where he can enjoy meadows, woods and running with no limits. As I have already mentioned he is a member of "Prague Whippet Gang" (obr.3 a 14) a pohyb ve městě není tak úžasný jako v divoké přírodě.

What to say when closing? The litter "C" became juniors and I can state that I am satisfied with their progress. The owners mastered a complicated puppy age and now teenage and maturing years are before them.

After a longer break the full team which consists of Valentina, Berroo and little Lisboa headed for an international show DuoCACIB Brno which took place 14th -15th August 2021. Regarding the jury, I decided to participle only on Sunday. Unlike Olins' owners (Olin from litter "A") who competed both days and very good results.
For little Lisboa it was the premiere and she handled it well. She was the only puppy to run the blue carpet and showed herself to judge. With no hasitation showed her exhibition spirit and gained mark "Very promising 1". Unfortunately, at this show there was no final competitions for younger puppies and Lisboa was mot able to take part in final show for the best puppy of the show. It is such a pity because with her beautiful and profesional appearance she would have certainly caught the judge and she might have won her place.
I was so enthusiastic abot Olin this time. He got both days in a difficult open class EXC. 1 CAC and on Sunday also BOS and as the icing on the cake CACIB as well..He showed himself greatly and won with justice. My girls did not bright too much this time. Valentina gainded 2nd place in Champion Class and Berroo had very bad day. The moment the judge took out the meaauring instrument in order to measure the shoulder height, she got totally crazy. She jumped of the exhibition table and was not able to be halted. She finished as third in competition of six bitches in Open class but with mark "Very Good" for her behavior. But whatever, as I have said earlier, every champion has his VG...

3rd July 2021
A very talented jumper discovered. Lisboa found new joy and passion in jumping so I made her a small agility track. Finally! I have a dog at home that likes it, has talent and easily gets what is asked for.
In the beginning we tried only low obstacles but to my surprise her jumps are so high and agile that I do no spare her and we train every day for 15 minutes. The obstacles are even a half of a meter height and the girl jump over and still has some reserve. She quickly understood what I needed from her. We started with a treat and now she just obeys my hand order and she is only four months old!
We manage all osbtacles, go around the mark and tunnel. A slalom is still too complicated for her but she will definitely comprehend it soon. It will be a bomb. Let us just hope I will survive running myself! :-)
The pictures show one of the first training where the obstacles were quite low yet. But it is already visible how easily she jumped over.

19th June 2021 - After covid show pause, girls and I finally headed to a show. Our home club "greyhound Breeders Club of English Racing Races" organized a traditional show-coursing weekend "FOR BEAUTY AND PERFORMANCE". We took part only in a Saturday show as during this one year covid madness we were not able to complete oue coursing license, unfortunately. Hopefully next year.
Anyhow, the show was full of success, as usual. It took place at the bank of the Slapy Dam and considering the 30 degree temp, it was the most ideal place. I brought to the expo the two adult whippets Valentina and Berroo and the youngest backup Lisboa who is just getting her feet under the table. As we are in habit of taking part in most taken classes, after one year break and Valentina's pregnancy, I did not give us high chances. What is more my surprise about the results. Valentina gained heavy champion class three months after giving the birth. She is just incredible. And Berroo took hold of the bronze in an open class, it is a dream! It was a successful Saturday also for the fact that two dogs of the same litter "A" passed the bonitation which was the part of the exposition with the result - a stud dog.

3rd June 2021 - Our babies have been gone for one month now. I am in touch with new owners and get all updates on their wellbeing and progress. It is very important to me as a breeder to get a feedback and to be assured that puppies prosper and lack in nothing. I am so enthuasiastic about choosing these particullar owners - all of them take their best care of puppies and if they do not know anything or need a piece of advice, they do not hesitate to come towards me. This is the reason why I do this and I really appreciate this attitude. We are now one big whippet family.
They send me lot of pictures so I will share them with you...
TOKIO
She received her new name Sisi and she grows into a beautiful whippet girl. The owner travels a lot with her. In the beginning she struggled a bit with food but the girls got it under control. She also has her personal dog trainer that teaches her the right dog behavior. I hope the girls also train the leash walk and posture because not to show this amazing creature at the exhibition would be a sin. She often meets her brothers Berlin and Helsinki on their common walks, trainings and games.
* * * * *
LISBOA
She finally stayed home and I am happy for thah. She grows into a gem with a great character. She is a perfrct eater, she is fond of meat and received it abundantly. We started the preparation for shows and we are participating in one this month. Unfortunately, I cannot subscribe her yet as she is not four months. She will go as a company to her Mum and step sister and she will soak up the show atmosphere.
* * * * *
BERLIN
Now Angel makes his mistresses happy. It is a rascal but very talented who learns fast. He accepted his new home immediately, he likes walks. He sometimes destroys stuff as a real puppy but he is an angel in general. He grows into a sturdy dog - the owner believes him to become a real greyhound. We will se his final height. He often plays with his sister Tokio, now with Helsi too as he has moved not far away, to Prague.
* * * * *
DENVER
My honey Danny is according to the owner the nicest doggie in the wolrd. He likes running around the garden with the boys and playing football . He loves nibbling everything, sometimes even owners' hands and feet. He has not tasted walks too much yet, he is not sure of himself out of the garden but I am sure it will soon change when he finds out how much fun the outdoors is. And as a real whippet he dislike water. So when it is rainy he refuses to go out. As the owner told me she had to take him in the arms and literally bring him under the tree to make him do his call of nature. If not, he just turns back on the doormat and runs back home.
* * * * *
NAIROBI
A beautiful black-eyed girl grows into beaty. The owners do not stop praising her, she eats well and also ended up in the bed even though it was not permitted on the first place. Who would resist them. She stays in the house surrounded by the garden which means lots of outdoors moments. As the other siblings she is also very smart and learns fast new things. I cannot wait to see her.
* * * * *
HELSINKI
His first month in the new household was a bit more colorful than the others. The first two weeks he had stayed in an apartment which was not the right chioce so then he moved to the new owners in Prague. They try to do the first and last for him. And they also commend him for his ability to getting used easily and being marvelous. All the family is on cloud nine. The owner even takes him to job with her where the puppy got used to the workin environment with no difficulty as well. He has his proper office with a dog bed. He has the same trainer as Tokio so they will get drilled together.
