CH.MARTIGRAS PIED PIPER O'CAJEN. DOB 11.19.80 by CH.CHEHALEM'S ACE HIGH x CH.WINDEMERE FOUR LEAF CLOVER. Breeders Marti Bradford & H. Speight. I fell for this bitch hook, line and sinker -- HAD to have her -- and showed this striking girl to her title. Here PIPER wins under Gayle Bontecou, well known for her top winning Scottish Deerhounds. When she finished I bred her to the most WHEELING bred dog, at that time, he turned out to be CH.BLU-KALE LEADER OF THE PAC. The couple did not disappoint us!
Their son -- CH. WHEELING FOLLOW THE LEADER. DOB 8.26.83 In this picture is winning under breeder judge Carol Curry (LOCAR) at 7 months of age! LEADER went 1st,WD,BW (Best Puppy) & BOB over Specials for a major on 4.1.84 The young lady on the right is none other than Phoebe Booth!
LEADER matured nicely and was Specialed for a while, he's here taking a Group 4 under judge Margaret Renihan of CA.
Their daughter CH. WHEELING SOCIAL BUTTERFLY is shown here going BOB under Mary Nelson Stephenson
Ch. Social Butterfly going BW under Joan Urban.
Another littermate was WHEELING JOLLY ROGER, he went out to OR but came to a sad end.
Back to "Billy"-- OXBOW NEGATIVE CAPABILITY. He sired this beautiful black & white boy CAN.CH.WHEELING DOMINO THEORY -- DOB 8.4.83 -- who is with his owner Joan Van Doornick. 'THEO.'S dam was WHEELING MAID OF THE MIST
His litterbrother WHEELING ORANGE JULIUS -- another of our beautiful reds! His owner stands to the right, she was Opal Miller, Treasurer of the Muskogee KC. 'JULI' took BOB over Specials and on to a Group 2 this day 11.2. 84 under Mildred Heald of Indianapolis, IN. He never finished!
BILLY also sired the love of my life CH. WHEELING TUXEDO JUNCTION -- "TINY" the runt of the litter born 2.6.82 out of CH. WHEELING MAID OF MACRAME.' He finished his Championship with four majors with me as pilot. He is shown here being crowned by ANNE ROGERS CLARK, incidentally her husband JAMES E. CLARK also gave him a major! TINY lived to be 12 years and 10 months. I hope he is at the rainbow bridge waiting for me.
The last litter born at WHEELING contained this lovely creature her name was WHEELING RHAPSODY IN BLUE. Her sire was CH. WHEELING TUXEDO JUNCTION x WHEELING CLOCKWORK ORANGE. RHAPSODY was owned by one of our sons and his wife. Coming home from work one day they found her in dire straits, she was rushed to the Vet' but died. In this picture she is taking the first of 3 majors!

I've Played Many Roles In My Life.
First I was a daughter,
Next came a judge
A Mother-in-law next
And finally "Grandma"
We do things together,
Author Jean G. Ueltschy
Below is some pictures of Whippets sent to me by their owners in sweaters that I hand knit (will my talents never cease)
"Carrie" is lucky enough to have a change of sweaters!
Modeling here for us is "Carrie" owned Heather Burke.
"Solo" looks stunning on the seashore with his owner India Vance.
These very lucky Whippets are owned by Lori Rose.
Then I was a wife,
Next I was Mother
For the rest of my life.

This role is wonderful
Just like "show biz".
(It wasn't too bad)

made me real sad!
a wonderful part -
only one grandchild,
so dear to my heart.

So PLEASE let me know
