First
this kennel should have a very different name - it was in my mind since i saw
the first whippets running in a race - it should have been "Rikkitikkitavi's"
- named after the brace little Mungo from Kipling's Junglebooks, who killed
alone "Nag" and "Nagaina" the both King cobras - this
fastness, agility, intelligence but also loyality, devoteness and the never
ending wish to cuddle - that's a whippet in my eyes. But the fate had other
wishes - this name has been given out by the FCI - so that they took the 3rd
name of my list - so the future whippets will be named "von der Harpstedter
Mühle" (of Harpstedt's mill)
There
are no breeding plans at the moment, first there isn't enough time, one has to
look for the money for the dog food, second there is no bitch in the kennel at
the moment, that would be good for breeding with it. The younger one isn't that
what i wish to use for the objectives i have for breeding - beauty/performance/strength
nature. She is a wonderful and lovely bitch, loyal, devote and always on her way
to cuddle with me or her friend Juanita, but she is no bitch for breeding. The
other one is too old now and that's a great pity.
But
once the day will come, the first whippets will see the light of this world -
comes time - comes advice.
