Farvel's Snow Fox of Sangaree "Patches" (1979-1995)
sired by Ch Farvel's Falchion of Sangaree x Royal Legacy's Farvel Foxy




Patches at age sixteen
"Patches" was bred by me, however she wasn't my pick puppy from the litter. I had picked her brother, Josh. But she left me little choice as she had certainly picked me! At 5wks of age, she climbing out of a whelping box and wanted nothing to do with her siblings...she just wanted to be with me. I ended up with her as well as Josh. With illustrious grand-sires like she had, Whirlaway and Chalmondoley, her pedigree was incredible. I was too new to Whippets at the time to appreciate this unfortunately. After finding out how much she hated showing or leaving home, I decided it wasn't worth it to make her so miserable. I let her stay home, and I spayed her. (I'd been told if it wasn't a champion, it shouldn't be bred!)



For 16 yrs, Patches slept in my bed and adorned my couch. Always under covers, even here in hot, sunny Phoenix.
