| Marseille is about the cutest little Whippet I've ever had, she's just a hair under 18 inches tall and all of 22 pounds soaking wet. But she's got plenty of spunk packed into her small frame. She earned her first point in the show ring in November of 2006 under judge James White. She was very slow to grow up and it took forever for her attention span to get longer than a nanosecond, but finally the light bulb seemed to switch on. She earned her JC in March of 2007 and got her ASFA certification as well. Marseille ran in her very first trial - SHOT's ASFA trial on April 21st and finished 4th out of 9, after running off a tie, so collected her first running points. She ran in her first AKC trial in May and finished tied for 5th in a 16 dog stake. She finished her Senior Courser title at CHAMP's August 2007 trial finishing in a tie for 4th place in a full stake of 15 Open Whippets which, in some of the hottest weather we'd had all summer. (Please don't tell Marseille that I elected for forfeit the tie!) Not bad for a little girl that's still learning the ropes. She has shown the same love of racing that her brother Brooks has, you wouldn't believe that much noise could come out of a dog that small, but she really gets herself worked up. So far, in both WRA and NOTRA racing, she's managed to finish dead last in every one of her races. A genuine turtle in the making! |
