“All the news that’s fit to print…and then some!”
It’s been another exciting two months for the NCWFA
whippets in many fields
of endeavor. First up,
the Show Ring!
Abby (Angie Hagen) had an
exciting trip to Idaho in Octo-
ber. She won two group ones
and a thrilling BEST IN
SHOW! Abby is now a Top
Three Whippet!
The beautiful Vesper (Erin Campbell) won her first major in Neva-
da in September. At those same shows Mr. Leo (Charlotte & Mar-
tha Fielder) completed his championship with his own major. Great
job!
At the Idaho shows, pretty baby Peaches (Charlotte & Martha
Fielder) won a huge five-point-major! Wowee!
At our Specialty show Vesper (Erin Campbell) was RWB. She also
was RWB at the big show the day before our Specialty. Her pretty
sister Sky (Sharron Simmons) continued her streak as the Sweep-
stakes Queen, winning Best in Sweeps at our Specialty. Way to go
girls! Our own hot redhead Tally (Justine Kay) was Best of Oppo-
site Sex at the Specialty! Deacon (Erin Campbell) was Select Dog
and the “mother of them all” (well, at least Deacon, Vesper & Sky),
Maya (Erin Campbell), was Best Veteran in Show and BOS in
Veteran Sweeps. Pretty Misty (Angie Hagen) was Best Puppy in
Show!
In Arizona in November, Robbie (Libby deMille) won his first
major! Also on a road trip to NC in November, baby Carolina
(Kellee Livingston) won a total six points, including a four-point
major!
Let’s talk about performance events…
At our CWA races, The Mighty Bolt (Jean Balint) completed his
racing career with two more meet wins, retiring undefeated. We
will miss seeing this guy’s brindle fabulousness at our races. Baillie
(Debby Knutson) was high score FTE and won the match on Satur-
day. Tally (Justine Kay) won the match on Sunday and was High
Combined.
At our November lure trials, there was some exciting running,
which had an exciting result for Harley (Barbara Lawson), who won
1st in Open both days, for a total of 5 points, including a big four-
point major. Louis (Bruce & Susan Arnold) was tied for first on
Sunday and forfeited the tie-breaker run to claim the point he need-
ed to complete his FC. Way to go Harley & Louis! The ever con-
sistent Sage (Kellee Livingston) was second on Saturday & third on
Sunday to pick up a point!
That super cute super-runner Billie
(Lynne Armstrong) picked up more
straight racing points and a second in
meet at the recent NCWC NAWRA
races. This doll is almost a RCh!
Billie’s housemate Lefty (Lynne
Armstrong) showed that he has a su-
perior sniffer by completing his NW1
(Nosework 1) title on Halloween. No tricks and all treats for sweet
Lefty!
On the other coast, Super Veterans Sunny and Sammy (Mimi
Dygert) have been hard at work
on the coursing fields of NY.
Nine-year-old Sunny picked up
a big major for her AKC FC &
BOB over the young whipper-
snappers in Starksville, and
Sammy (this month’s cover
boy) finished his ASFA Vet
FCh! Who says good whippets
ever retire from running?
Let’s talk about puppies…
Chloe and Mason (Andrea Meyer) are the proud parents of seven
adorable pups, in shades of brindle
and fawn and white. Awww!
And matriarch Hallie (Andrea Mey-
er) completed the requirements for
her AWC ROM title (the ROM is a
title given to females who are the
dam of pups with at least seven quali-
fying championships). Hallie
achieved this milestone as the result
of only one litter, “the Terrible Ten”,
which has six show champions and
one LCM, with more to come!
Rover is nosy, but she sometimes
misses things. To be sure your brag is
not missed, send your news and brags
to Rover @ [email protected].

Officer's Reports
President's Report: Brad is happy to announce

Secretary's Report: No report.
Treasurer's Report: Kellee reported that the
bank balance is around 19 thousand dollars with
no large expenses outstanding.
Committee Reports
Racing: Jean reported that we are having a
feast for lunch next week. The Canadians are
coming. Jean brought up a possible issue that
we need to discuss. An exhibitor who has two
puppies entered needs to leave at noon on Sat-
urday to go judge an agility event. She has
asked Jean to rearrange the running order so
the puppies can get their three programs done
before noon. Discussion ensued about rearrang-
ing the meet to accommodate this one exhibitor.
Jean made a motion, that was seconded by Jen,
to rearrange the running order on Saturday only.
The motion failed. Jean reminded all who will be
attending that we need workers in all capacities.
Kim Robinson asked that all present each day
work together to sweep the field and bring equip-
ment back to the trailer for loading before lunch.
Lure Coursing: Russell presented an update
about our November events. Justin Dannebring
is coming up from Norco and is judging both
days. The SCGSF (Saluki club) is supporting
their breed entry both days and their club mem-
bers will help out with jobs in order to be trained.
This support should add 10-15 dogs per day to
our entry.
Show: Mary Jean reported that we are in count-
down mode. Jen and Debby would like to know
what you are bringing for lunch. Delia is in
charge of the silent auction and if you will not be
at the show you can mail your items to her. Set
up is scheduled for Friday at 3 PM or so. Brad
will be bringing the breakfast items and coffee.
Rescue: The was a purebred whippet stray in
the Sacramento City shelter, but he was picked
up by his people.
Whippetbilia: Marrianne might not be able to
bring the stuff to CWA racing due to a business
trip. She will, however, have it all at the Special-
ty. Marrianne is also planning another raffle at
the Specialty for gift certificates and gift baskets.
She will have "hundreds of dollars" in prizes.
Old Business: Ed reminded all that the logo
items are here to pick up. The Nominating Com-
mittee, represented by Kim, reported the 2015
Officer's slate. President - Brad Briscoe; VP -
Debby Knutson; 2nd VP - Mary Jean Odron;
Secretary - Guin Borstel; Treasurer - Kellee
Livingston. Board of Directors: Jen Haas, Rus-
sell Kunkel, Marrianne Lu, Ed Odron, Todd Wil-
hoyte. Brad asked if there were any floor nomi-
nations and reminded the members that they
can nominate for any position in writing before
the next meeting.
New Business: Discussion ensued regarding
new lure coursing locations. Applicant Bonnie
Moore has mentioned the field at Napa College.
Guin presented two fields in Daly City/South San
Francisco. Brad and Russell need to check out
each of these leads in person
The next meeting will be held after the Specialty
on October 18th.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:44 AM

stel, Heather Borstel, Brad Briscoe, Erin Camp-

The meeting was called to order at 3:02 PM.
Officer Reports
President's Report: Brad thanked MJ for all her
hard work chairing the Specialty yet again.
Secretary's Report: No report.
Treasurer's Report: Kellee reported that the
current bank balance is approximately 19 thou-
sand dollars with around 5 thousand dollars in
the Club PayPal account. She reported that we
made $150 on racing this September.
Committee Reports
Show: Mary Jean thanked all of her hard work-
ing "people" who make the Specialty work year
after year. Brad for Set Up, with the assistance
of Guin and Ed and non-members the Hites. To
Debby and Jen for lunch. To Todd and Jen for
making Costco runs for food and supplies. To all
the members who bring great food and wonder-
ful auction items. To Delia, Donna, and their
team for an incredible auction. Delia reported
that Rescue made over $1200 at the Auction this
year.
Racing: Kellee reported that we had fun and we
made money this September. Guin wanted the
record to show that Gracie Mae won the world's
cutest pink hat at the races (see the back cover).
Lure Coursing: Brad reported that he would
have premiums available tomorrow. Currently
there is an error with the AKC (they have us
down as two events on one day, as opposed to
the correct one event per day), but this will be
corrected very soon. The dates for coursing are
November 22 - 23 and it will be once again held
in Dixon at CA Jacobs school.
Rescue: Guin reported that Rescue has had a
slow summer and early fall with no dogs in the
system since May. Guin would like to step down
as Rescue Team Coordinator, since she has so
much on her plate these days. She is more than
willing to stay on in a behind the scenes capaci-
ty, and is happy to train the new coordinator.
Any member who is interested in learning more
can contact Guin for a full Job Description.

SAMMY
(Kindred Marble Halvah, FCh,
MC, VFCh ) I met SAMMY 8 years ago on Long Island at a
BASH coursing
event just after I
moved to NY. Some
very nice people
were there for the
day with their then 2
year-old male whip-
pet Sammy. I was
still bent on a Mas-
ter Courser title for
Raine & I was run-
ning two grey-
hounds. At the end
of the day Raine had
been 3rd in Open &
Sammy had won a
major & Best Of
Breed. His family
was very surprised
& I was delighted
that nice people with
a nice dog were rec-
ognized. Maybe the East Coast was less political?
Well I forgot about Sammy until I got a call from
Brenda Malick some years later. Due to unforetold
circumstances could I take a male whippet & contin-
ue coursing him? My Mom had died so I was unable
to take him. About 6 months later I got another
call...could I take him NOW ? Yes. So I went and got
Sammy in Poughkeepsie & coursed him two days
later to a second place finish.
In the meantime Sammy went about the business of
fitting in with our motley crew....Raine, Dean, Barba-
ro , Jimi, Jewels, Hope & a small handful of this &
that Foster dogs. He quickly established himself as a
"major bed hound " , sometimes sleeping well into
the late morning ,emerging only when called !
In October of 2011 Sammy earned his ASFA title.
And in Sept of 2014 he earned his VFCh title.
Currently he is still chasing the elusive AKC cours-
ing title with 14 points & one major.
You never know!

It was rain in the forecast for Day One of the NCWFA AKC Lure Trials on November 22-23rd, but the threat of wet weather did not daunt
brave sighthound fanciers from coming out to Dixon to run! The Saluki Club of Greater San Francisco joined with the NCWFA to support the
saluki entry at our trials, and their help was much appreciated. There were over eighty total entries for Saturday, in the rain, with an incredible
31 JC/QC entrants. A few more hounds ran on sunny Sunday, making this a successful weekend. Thanks to our intrepid field crew of Russell
Kunkel (FTS), Brad Briscoe (FTC & lure operator), Greg Witt (lure operator), Terry Burchett & Jen Haas (hunt masters), and Tina Graham
(paddock master & score runner), and our wonderful team of field clerks, Guin Borstel, Charlotte Fielder, Barbara Lawson, Kellee Livingston
& Jen Haas, who kept the trial running. Jean Balint coordinated two feasts for our potluck lunches. We ate great both days! Kudos to our tal-
ented judges, Ginnie Kosinski, Lisa Voss & Justin Dannebring. Congratulations to all the winners of majors and points over the weekend,
especially new whippet FC “Louis”, & Pharaoh FC “Posh”, and both our great running BIF winners; “Seamus” the IW on Saturday & “Ender”
the whippet, on Sunday. See you all in June!

Rescue Alumni: Chester & Zoe
Sweet seniors Zoe & Chester
had to find a new home in
their twilight years, due to
dangerous conditions that had
arisen in their lifetime home.
These eleven-year-old litter-
mates had a self-proclaimed
gangster rapper & dog fighter
move in next door and his set
of dog aggressive Presa Ca-
narios had repeatedly attempt-
ed to eat the old whippets, as
they marauded around the cul
de sac. Animal Control and
the police’s hands were tied
until the evil mastiffs either bit a human or killed a dog, and Zoe &
Chester’s loving owners could not wait for their beloved whippets to
become a statisitc , so they sadly had to find them a new home.
NCWFA Rescue stepped in and made a match for these darling whip-
pets and Winters vet Elisabeth VanLeeuwen. The Dynamic Duo are
now in no danger of being eaten, have acres to run on, and live with
another wonderful senior whippet.
Crisis in Redding?!
The situation we have been following in Redding seems to be coming
to a head. Animal Control officers up north have fined the whippet
hoarder for being over the dog limit and he is expected to release
some of his animals to NCWFA Rescue. This has been going on for
over a year and we have been attempting to get the dogs, who are all
young, and include baby puppies, away from this bad situation since
August 2013. The mentally ill Redding resident who owns all the
whippets has been impossible to work with to this point, so we really
hope that Animal Control can persuade him to relinquish most of his
whippets.

Once again we welcomed our Canadian friends, Barb, Howard, Nancy,
Peter, Jennifer and thank them for making the long drive to Northern
California. We are so fortunate to have these very special people sup-
port our events.
We had a nice entry of 21 adults and 3 puppies. Bolt ran well and won
the meet but was strongly challenged by the Rosmor gang. Second,
third and fourth finishers were litter mates, Lucky, Cosmos and Strega.
Fifth place went to everyone's favorite, Marshall. This talented dog
never ceases to amaze with his racing skills. I think Miss Bennett was
trying to impress her future husband by finishing right behind him in
sixth place. Pete, who is the winner of "The Hardest Dog To Box In
The World" prize, gave a strong showing and took seventh place.
Rounding out the final placements in the Top Ten were, consistent
Harley, cute, cute Whoopi, the very macho Captain, and beautiful Bail-
lie.
Shown by her happy owner, Debbie Knutson, Ballie took the first place
honors in our conformation match. Second, went to the very handsome
Niko and third went to the lovely Canadian Champion, Donald. Fourth
place went to the very striking Strega. Strega went on to win the High
Score Combined Dog of the meet. Many congratulations to his proud
owner, Jack Pulley.
Our three adorable puppies all ran with great enthusiasm, desire and
focus. Their owners, Candy Gaiser and Bonnie Moore should be very,
very proud of these fine running youngsters.
Thank you to everyone who brought the delicious food for our pot luck
luncheon. It was outstanding and was thoroughly enjoyed by all of our
hungry participants. My sincere appreciation to everyone who worked
so hard to make this a successful and happy day of racing.
FAREWELL TO THE MIGHTY BOLT
I started the day feeling rather sad because this was Bolt's last CWA
race meet. At age 6, his owner Barbara Kusha and I, decided it was
time for him to retire while he was still on top of his game. In the past
five years this fine racer has competed in 25 CWA meets and has won
all 25. He has brought much joy and great pride to the Wyndsor name.
Once again Bolt did not disappoint us and came out on top again. It was
not an easy win because he was again strongly challenged by the Ros-
mor gang, Lucky, Strega and Cosmo. Top points went to Lucky and
this completed the requirement to get his ARX. Congratulations to his
owner and breeder, Leslie Rosko. Miss Bennett ran well and was High
BOS in the meet. Rounding out the final placements in the Top Ten
were Whoopi, Harley, Jane, Captain and Tally. They all ran extremely
well and deserved these high placements in the meet.
Our three puppies were most impressive and ran superb. Candy and
Bonnie are to be congratulated on these wonderful clean and hard run-
ning litter mates.
Tally, who finished in the top ten, also won first place in the confor-
mation match. This stunning bitch was our High Score Combined Dog
in the meet. Many congratulations to her happy owners, Justine and
David Kay. Other winners in the match were Donald, Niko and Zipper.
They all showed well and were worthy of their placements. Thank you
Kellee for doing such a nice job of judging.
Our luncheon was another gourmet delight. So much food and so deli-
cious. We have some very talented chefs in the NCWFA. The NCWFA
is a wonderful club and has many wonderful members. Once again their
hard work paid off and it was another very incredible weekend. Now I
would like to say thank you to these very special people who made it so
successful. Brad, my gratitude for everything you did, bringing the
trailer, setting up, taking down, running the lure and doing the boxes.
Your efforts did not go unnoticed. David Kay, many, many thanks for
coming both days to do the lure return. It really makes the meets go so
much faster and it is just easier for everyone. Mary Jean and Ed, we
couldn't do it without your support and help. You are so dependable
and never let us down. Kim, my appreciation for continuing to do an
incredible job running the paddock and practice. I would also like to
thank others who were a tremendous help in making this another spe-
cial weekend. Russell, Rick, Guin, Jenn, Charlotte, Marrianne, Val,
Debbie, Bonnie C, Bonnie M, Tina, Erin, Candy, Peter, Nancy and
Howard. I respect and thank you all for your help in officiating, running
the boxes, foul judging, boxing dogs, catching dogs, setting up, taking
down and loading the trailer. You make a great team and I am grateful
to you all. I would also like to give a personal thank you to Jennifer
Szabo for running and catching my dogs both days. You were a tremen-
dous help to me. My last thank you goes to our great race secretary,
Kellee Livingston. Once again you did a wonderful job of running the
meet. The club appreciates everything you do.
I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving and a blessed and joyful
Christmas.

Debby Knutson announced that 2015 is the fiftieth anniversary of the
Club and twentieth for the Specialty. Debby proposed that we make
2015 a Jubilee year for the Club. A committee, with Debby as chair,
Guin & Kellee as committee members, was formed and this group will
report on plans for celebrations and activities for 2015 at a later meet-
ing.
The Holiday Party will once again be held at Lenore's in Oakland.

Rescue Round Up Continued from Page 10
for the time when we actually get the dogs, which could be tomor-
row or could be several months from now (if the police have to
become involved and if this has to be settled in court). We have
had a wonderful response from our members & friends, but still
will probably need more foster homes, since there may be up to
13 whippets, and all will need time in foster care to be socialized,
altered, and vetted. On the positive side, all of the whippets are
young, and most are female, which are super desirable to adopt, so
placement should be a breeze, once they have been altered and
evaluated.
If you would like to act as a foster home for
one or more of these hounds, please contact
Kellee. [email protected]
or 831-207-7900.
