We went to a dog show with every intention of doing some shopping,
but came home with a puppy instead.  That's how Sioux came into
our lives the weekend after Thanksgiving in 2003.  This boy had
about the best temperament of any dog I've ever encountered.  He
was the definition of 'easy to live with' and loved to play ball!  He was
one of the few Whippets who was a natural retriever and would have
done well in the obedience ring.

Sioux and I won Best Puppy at the Jersey Rag Racer's versatility
match in 2004.  After that, with Charlene at the end of the lead, Sioux
won Best of Breed under judge Vicki Steedle at the Chesapeake
Kennel Club of Maryland show in November of 2006 from the
Bred-By class, and helped win the team conformation class at the
Whippet National in Kansas City in April 2007.  He finished his Senior
Courser title at the THLC trial on June 14, 2008, and had also
earned his Rally Advanced and Rally Excellent titles.  He was close
to being ready to compete for his Novice obedience title (CD).

Sioux's picture was also chosen by the Pet Prints publisher for their
2007 Whippet Calendar.

In 2005 Sioux went back to live with his breeders, Charlene Stone
and Bart Lowans, and his litter sister, brother and mother in
Pennsylvania where he lived happily until he lost his battle with
hemolytic anemia.  We are all heart broken to loose this sweet sweet
boy at such a young age.
