Some new pics of "Squiffy" in England.
Corinne Harris who is owned by "Squiffy" Mossbawnhill Better By Far has updated us with some fantastic new pics of Squiffy,as you can see he really enjoys his very full life with Corinne & the rest of her lovely pack!
The babies are still getting consistently placed at Ch shows.
Last weekend (18th Oct 09) we again travelled by ferry over to England fof a Ch show...this time it was Midland Whippet Club & the bitch judge was Morag Bolton-Lockhart of the "Pencloe" kennel in the UK. We managed to still get placed in the MPB class,even though it was very big.....17!!! Our little "Folly" Mossbawnhill U Bet I Am got a VHC whilst her big sis "Maple" Mossbawnhill Timeless Epic who is owned & handled by Jean Dickenson (Ribblesmere) in England was Res. "Rain" Mossbawnhill I Am All That debuted at this show & was also VHC in the PB class & "Pebble" Ir Ch Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me (EW-09) was a respectable 3rd in a very strong OB class...both Rain & Pebble were handled by Ryan & Folly by me (Pamela).
Exciting new mating planned in Finland.
After much consideration & thought Aino Makela who owns "Fallow" Fin & Nor Ch Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) has decided that she will mate Fallow in winter 2010. She has eventually opted to use a dog who we think totally compliments Fallow beautifully! He is from the "Farytail" kennel in Norway & is formally known as WW-08,N & S Ch Farytail's thFragrance o' Gold or quite simply "Mike" to his friends!! There are some pics of Mike & Fallow below and also a copy of the future litters pedigree...which reads beautifully! We are very excited about this litter & wish Aino,Fallow & Mike all the very best. We will keep everyone posted as & when we receive any more news or go to http://www.ainomakela.net/puppies.htm.

We are now on the hunt for that all too elusive 3rd!!!!!
Her litter brother "Timber" Ir Ch M.Exclusive (CJW08) was 3rd in a very respectable OD class being beaten only by the eventual DCC & Res DCC winners.

"Timber" took his last Green Star and title on Saturday 25th July 09 at Dundalk Ch Show under Mrs Zola Rawson (UK/Russ),he will continue to be shown in Ireland in the last few shows that he has been already entered into and he will also be selectively shown in England as he has 1CC but he will mostly enjoy a well earned rest until next March when the first of the Int shows start where he will be campaigned for his last 2 CACIB's to achieve his Int title.
This is the third Ch from this very successful litter of only five!
Whippet Club of Scotland's critiques from Espen Engh
The critiques for our dogs from the WCOS back in June judged by Espen Engh (Nor) from the famous "Jet's" greyhound kennel have appeared in the local dog press,we have four of them as all four of our dogs managed to get placings: BIS & BCC,BOS & DCC, 2nd in OD & finally 2nd in JD. Also a Mossbawnhill grand-daughter received a critique too as "Ash's" M.Ltd Edition To Yialousa young daughter
"Scarlett" Yialousa Scarlet Ribbon was 2nd in MPB.
Critiques below:
JD: 2nd Mossbawnhill Better Son. Eyecatching white & brindle dog with generally high quality. More width of skull than I prefer.Long neck.Still needs to develop forechest.Excellent underline.Tends to fall off a bit over the croup.Moved a little narrow in front,but well from behind,acceptable from the side.
LD: 1st Mossbawnhill Exclusive (CJW08).Very attractive white and brindle male who combines substance & elegance to perfection.Masculine head.Long & crested neck.Moderately angulated in front,his markings on the show side make him look straighter in upper arm than he actually is.Excellent underline.When overstretched on the stack,he looks somewhat sloping in topline,but balances out on the move.Covers plenty of ground. Excellent legs & feet. Long,well angulated hindquarters. Moved very effortlessly,sound & supple from all angles. CC.
OD: 2nd Ir Ch Mossbawnhill Better Man. White & brindle male,very powerful and strong but still elegant enough.Masculine head,strong neck.Balanced angulation both ends.Deep chest.Moved better than most from all angles. Could do with some more chiselling all over.
MPB: 2nd Yialousa Scarlet Ribbon. Very attractive feminine bitch of generally very high quality. Beautiful head & expression. Long and elegant neck. Not much between her and the winner and could change places on another day,she scored in curves of body,but lost on reach and drive in movement.
OB: 1st Ir Ch Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me. Excellent brindle bitch with some white trim,strong yet elegant,excellent size,type & quality,very sound & stands so firmly on her legs & feet.Very typical whippet head with good width of skull,excellent ears. Her neck is elegant yet strong. Excellent front,forechest & depth. In superb rock hard condition which was not the norm on the day. Shapely, well proportioned and balanced body. Moved cleanly & soundly coming and going,well balanced from the side,but could open up a little more for perfection. CC & BOB (BIS)
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Espen Engh for his lovely worded critiques & also for thinking as highly of our dogs as we do.
We are keeping up the "goodbyes" as today Tuesday 21st July saw "Maple" formally known as M.Timeless Epic & "Flax"formally known as M.Hope 'n' Glory leave us and go across the water to their new homes. We wish them both the very best & hope that they bring a lot of happiness & love to their new owner/owners. They will both be campaigned in the showring.
Litter mates do the double at Sligo Ch Show 19th July 09!
We had a great result today at Sligo Ch Show under Hound Judge Mrs Juutilainen from Finland who judged the whippets & also under the Group 10 judge Mr Antonopoulos (Greece).
Firstly in the breed "Badger" Ch M.Better Man took the Green Star in dogs and then his litter sister "Teazel" M.Turn Up The Sun made it a "double" for us as she took the GS in bitches,closely followed by BOB & then finally Grp 3rd!!!! Teazel has done extremely well since returning to the ring after her maternal duties & we are looking forward to having a lot of fun with her in the next couple of years!
This is proving to be quite a week for "goodbyes" as today (Saturday 18th July) another of our youngsters left for his new home,"Tide" officially known as M.Refuse To Bend went to live with his distant relatives "Squirrel" M.Made You Look & "Dale" M's Better Bet (European Jun Winner 09) who are owned by Tony Ennis,we know that Tide will have a wonderful life with Tony and his gang and will join him at work & get to meet lots of people as Tony works at a race yard.Tide will be shown in Ireland along with Dale & we wish him & Tony all the very best both in and out of the ring!
Piper & Paige leave for their new home.
Two more of our babies have left us for their new home (although we are very lucky as they will be remaining here in Northern Ireland & we will see them regularly at the same shows!).
On Sunday 12th July "Piper" officially known as M.Blaze of Glory & "Paige" officially known as M.Foreign Affair headed off to their lovely new home with Albert & Marlene Ritchie of the "Gwendariff" (whippets) affix,they have settled in very nicely along with their existing family of whippets,and will be campaigned by Albert both here in Ireland (North & South) and also in England and we wish them all the very best and would like to thank them for giving the girls such a wonderful home.
The Whippet Club Of Ireland Ch Show 09
On Saturday 4th July 09 (Independence day WHOO HOO!!) The Whippet Club Of Ireland held their Ch Show,the judge was the well known and respected breed specialist Barbara Anderson - Illingsworth from the "Birkonbrae" kennel in England,we faired reasonably well under her and took both open classes (dog & bitch) and then both Res Green Stars too with the parents of our double "T" litter "Timber" Mossbawnhill Exclusive (CJW 08) & "Teazel" Mossbawnhill Turn Up The Sun,Teazel also took Best Open as this was a club show and there were "specials" on offer. This was only Teazel's second time out since the litter,the first time being the previous week at Kilkenny Ch Show where she & Timber also won both open classes and in fact that was Teazel's first time out in almost two and half years as she was left to mature and develop after gaining her 1st UK CC from the Junior class at Belfast Ch show under Jeff Horswell in 06.
She will be campaigned now for the rest of this year and next alongside Timber who is patiently waiting for his last GS & his crown.
More Mossbawnhill G.Kids....this time in Russia.
CONGRATS!!
to Tony & Lada & their owners Natalia & Julia on the birth of their new litter of four (3 dogs & 1 bitch) at the http://www.wippet-intriga.narod.ru/ kennel in Russia on the 10th June 09. "Tony" Rus Ch & Rus Jun Ch Mossbawnhill Celtic Legacy is the sire & Multi Ch Perfetto Top Modella Iz Volzhskoy Serenady is the dam,all these puppies are already booked for wonderful homes and we wish their new owners all the very best with them.
Some pics below:
The first of the babies leaves for her new home.
Tues 23rd June 09 saw "Crumpet" who is formally known as Mossbawnhill Glamorous leave us and head off for her new home with her new Mommy Lynne Stratton who is an artist & does the most wonderful models of the Hare.
Crumpet is the first one of our babies to leave & she is lucky enough to be going to live in a very scenic part of Ireland near Dingle and she has a couple of friends there in the shape of two labs,one of whom is called Mole & she has already managed to make her her partner in crime!! She has settled in remarkably well & is enjoying being the center of attention,everyone loves her who meets her & we wish Lynne all the very best with her.
We were very kindly sent these pics of Crumpet by Lynne yesterday (1st July 09) as you can see she has made herself quite at home already!
Pebble gains her 4th CACIB at Swords Int Ch Show.
"Pebble" Ch.Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me (EW09) gained her 4th CACIB at Swords Int Ch Show on the 20th June 09 under Per Lundstrom (Sweden),this should have given her, her Int Ch crown HOWEVER under FCI rules there must be a lapse of at least 1year & 1 day between the 1st Cacib & the last and unfortunately Pebble gained all her four inside 10mths,so will now have to wait until next year to get her title as our next Int Ch Show will not be outside the time limit either & Clonmel which would've been the next Int Show that she could've taken her Int title at (had she won the CACIB) have decided to drop the Int status this year to just Ch status,so it will be March 2010 before she can compete for another CACIB. Her litter brother "Timber" M.Exclusive (CJW08) was Res GS Dog & Res CACIB dog & "Badger" Ch.M.Better Man was 2nd in ChD class.
Another CAC with BOB & BIG-1 for Toni in Russia
Congratulations!! again to "Toni" M.Celtic Legacy & his co-owners Natalia & Julia for another CAC coupled with BOB & BIG-1 at Togliatti Ch Show in Russia under judge Terenteva (Rus) on the 14th June 09.
Natalia has very kindly sent me this pic of Toni taken winning group 10.
2 CC's in the one day for litter brother & sister!
WOW!
we had a bit of a "surreal" day at the Whippet Club Of Scotland Ch Show on Saturday 13th June 09 under Espen Engh (Jet's) from Norway. Litter siblings "Timber" M.Exclusive (CJW08) & "Pebble" Ch & Euro Winner 09 M. It's All Bout Me who are still only 2yrs old did "the double" and took both CC's on offer!!!!! To say we were thrilled would be a total understatement....but we were!! (and I can't think of any other way to describe it!!) the entry was a very respectable quality one of 190,so they did it in good company. Pebble ended up BIS! & Timber was BOS we also got two second placings with our other entries "Badger" Ch M.Better Man & his son "Cedar" M.Better Son.
I think we can safely say that it was a day that we wont forget ...EVER!!
Our thanks goes to the judge Espen Engh for appreciating both of our dogs.

And Dale is owned and handled by Tony Ennis from Ireland we are thrilled with all the achievements but especially so with Dale as he is very sparsely shown due to Tony's work commitments (he works for ex jump jockey turned trainer Charlie Swan bringing on his young racehorses)

Badger & Pebble do the "double" for the third time!!!
What a great day we had on Sunday 3rd May,it was our "Mini-Circuit" this bank holiday weekend but seeing as we have puppies at home & our "puppy sitter" could only look after them for the one day we could only do the one show,so we setled on the Int Show which was hosted by Fermoy Canine Club,the judge was breed specialist Elizabet Janzon from the "Wolftone Kennel" in Sweden and she was a very strict judge indeed awarding very few Excellents (only four overall in fact!) we managed to win all our classes including "Cedar" M.Better Son in JD,"Timber" M.Exclusive (CJW 08) in OD,"Badger" Ch M.Better Man in ChD and "Pebble" Ch M.It's All Bout Me in ChB,Pebble & Badger then went on to do the "double" this is the third time that this duo have done this and all under Continental judges,they took both GS's (green stars) & both CACIB's,Badger went BOB & also managed a Grp 2nd under Saija Juutilainen from the "Wallaby's" Saluki Kennel in Finland.We were beaten for Grp 1st by our friend Jo Amsel with her lovely Italian Greyhound "Mimi" Artmeis Call Me Madam who is both a Uk & Ir Ch.

Berri finally comes home!
On the same day as Squiffy left us our own "Berri" Doce Gabana di Mahana Avec M. finally came home from Germany. Our heartfelt thanks goes to Werner Demmerling & Joachim Bartusch of "Gentle Mind" kennel for taking such great care of her for us.
Berri is such a beautifully,even tempered bitch with a lot to love about her and after having a rather rough start in life we know that she will live out the rest of it with us & our "pack". And in a way she is coming home as her dam "Betsi" Gwendariff Blonde Serenade was born in Northern Ireland as she was bred by Albert & Marlene Ritchie of the Gwendariff kennels.
A couple of candid pics of Berri are below.
Berri is the 2nd dog in from the rhs of the pic.
Berri the blue brindle at the top of the pic.
Sunny gets a new home & a new name.
We said a sad goodbye to "Sunny" M.Better By Far who has now become "Squiffy" on the 5th March 09 he has now gone to his new home in England. Squiffy was the young dog who came back to us before Christmas,he was from our last litter and due to an unforseen change in his previous owners circumstances they found that they had to rehome him & got in touch with us.
He is now owned & loved by Corinne Harris and lives with her "pack" who have now become Squiffy's new family,we are really pleased that he has settled so well with them and a HUGE THANKYOU goes to Corinne for offering Squiffy such a wonderful,loving forever home. We hope he will be a super addition to your "pack" & brings you lots of future happiness and we wish you all lots of fun & luck.
Some pics of Squiffy and "friends" below,as you can see he has slotted straight in!
Squiffy is the parti on the LHS of the pic.

We decided to do this mating as we felt that Timber complimented Teazel exceptionally well & therefore we are hoping for a very "typy" litter of moderate sized,good quality puppies.And as both parents also have excellent sound movement in all directions we are anticipating these puppies will do too.
If you are interested in a puppy from this forthcoming litter please contact us through the "contact page" on this website.
Thankyou.

NEW Ch..Fin & Nor Ch Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07)
We are absoloutley thrilled to announce that we have another NEW CH.....Fin & Nor Ch Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07)!!
"Fallow" is owner handled by Aino Makela in Finland who is also delighted with "Fallow's" achievments,especially considering that this was her first show after her 2nd birthday that she could actually gain her title! (In Finland a dog has to be 2yrs old or over BEFORE he/she can get Ch status..."Fallow turned 2yrs on the 27th Oct) She had 8 CAC's but was unable to get her title until this show,so you can imagine it was a very tense time for all concerned.The Show was on the 23rd November 08 at Jyvaskyla it was an international show and the judge was an Ursula Langer (Ger).
This is actually the 2nd Ch from this small litter of five & a brother is hopefully not too far away from making that THREE!!!
WELL DONE & MANY CONGRATS AINO & FALLOW!!

Two days later on the 19th "Pebble" M.It's All Bout Me handled as always by Ryan took her title at Killarney Ch Show under another breed specialist Mr George Kostopolous (Greece) his affix is "Allsatin",at this show Pebble went on to win Hound Grp 10 under Mr D Allen (UK/Spain) & finished in style by going BIS 4th under Mrs M Supranovich (Pol),we also took the Res GS in dogs that day with "Badger" M.Better Man who is handled by me (Pamela) and 3rd in the Puppy Dog Stakes with "Cedar" M.Better Son handled by Ryan again under Mrs M Supranovich. On the 23rd at Limerick Ch Show we managed to "finish" "Badger" again under another breed specialist Mr Unto Timonen this time from Finland and the famous "Woodbrook's" kennel, we did "the double" at this show where "Pebble" took GS bitch & "Badger" GS dog & BOB,our young puppy bitch "Damson" who is owned by Janet & Tracy (mentioned previously above) took the Res GS,so this was a super day for Mossbawnhill!

Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) continues her winning ways
Aino & "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) are still managing to continue to appeal to the Judges eye as yesterday at Ylivieska Int Ch Show in Finland under Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen (Fin) she was 3rd Best Bitch with an Exc and Res-CAC.
WELL DONE Again!!
Mossbawnhill's Better Boy first show
Mossbawnhill's Better Boy "Ridge" owner handled by Jean Dickenson (Ribblesmere) made his debut at the East Of England Ch Show (15th July 08) he did very well and managed to get a VHC placing in the MPD class under Pat Dufty of the Triken Kennel (UK). WELL DONE to you both Jean & Ridge!!
This litter have surprised us as although they have an almost totally 100% American pedigree they are definitely going to be well within the height guidelines set down by the English KC (in fact they look set to be the smallest whippets that we have bred to date!) they are also quite immature and that is something that both Ryan & myself like to see in the Minor Puppy classes as very often a lot of breeders are turning out babies that look like Juniors or older & are finished well before they are a year old.
Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) makes it a double this weekend
WOW!! What a weekend this pair are having! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS must go to Aino & "Fallow" M.Dream On (Fin JW 07) who have managed to take another CAC today (13th July 08) this follows fast on the heels of their CAC yesterday.
Today's show was Oulu All Breeds and Fallow was owner handled as always by Aino Makela the Judge was Monique Van Brempt (Belg) & along with the CAC Fallow also went BOB and then under Grp 10 Judge Lars Adeheimer (Swed) she took BIG 4, this has been quite a weekend for the pair and we are thrilled for them...keep up the good work girls & THANKYOU for flying the "Mossbawnhill Flag" in Finland so well for us!!

Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) does it again
We are thrilled to learn today (12th July 08) that "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) was 2nd Best Bitch,took another CAC & Res CACIB at Oulu International Show (Finland) under judge Lars Adeheimer (Sweden) this actually gives her enough to be a Finnish & Norwegian Ch but unfortuantely the rules over there state that one CAC must be gained after the dogs 2nd birthday so she will have to wait until after the 27th October to claim her final CAC & crown!
This super team also won the Pohjois-Pohjanmaa District Junior Handling Championships judged by Rob Douma (Neth)
Many CONGRATS to you both girls,it is well deserved!!

Moss wins the whippet racing at the NIWWC Show
We were made extremely proud by our lovely senior boy "Moss" who yesterday (27th April 08) at the Northern Ireland Working Whippet Club Show won his heat and then went on to win overall in the whippet racing...we had'nt raced him since he was in his prime at 3 yrs old but decided to bring him out of retirement one last time as he enjoys it so much,he has now returned to his comfy sofa!! He also managed to get a 2nd place in the "working type" show class too! Incidently Moss is almost 9 YRS OLD!! and had to beat dogs less than half his age,so not bad going for an old timer.
And "Teazel" Mossbawnhill Turn Up The Sun also won her heat (kinda by default,as she was the only one to finish!! LOL) and was 3rd in the final. But we were still pleased with this as she has never chased a lure before.

News from England...Mossbawnhill Ltd Edition To Yialousa is BPIB!
...Just got these results through from Darlington Ch show where we are thrilled to learn that under breed specialist Mrs Di Morgan (Meandi) Mossbawnhill Ltd Edition To Yialousa (Ash) has continued her winning ways and was owner handled to BEST PUPPY IN BREED by Anita Mixides and then was shortlisted in the Puppy Group!

Mossbawnhill Ltd Edition To Yialousa (Ash)
We got these beautiful pictures sent to us today of Ash,taken at Richmond Ch Show by www.dewerstonephotography.co.uk where she won a big PGB class of 18 and then went on to win BP Bitch also under breed specialist Mr Dennis Mayger from the UK,his kennel name is "Woolsocks" - Ash is only 10 months old and therefore most of the other bitches in her class were much older than her...so a huge WELL DONE Anita & Ash!!!
We have a new Ch!!...Drift (the Basenji) took his last and crowning GS at Clonmel Int Ch Show under the breed specialist Mr Christian Jounanchicot from the famous "Out Of Africa" kennel in France,he will now be given a very well earned rest for a while.
We also did extremely well with the Whippets...doing "the double" TWICE and also taking a few reserve's along the way too.Badger now only needs another one GS to gain his title and both pups have three each already and Pebble also has two Grp wins under belt too..all this and she is only 10mths old!!! We are very proud of our little teams achievements in such a short time.
We have some great news...but with a slight twist to it!
On Sunday at Monkstown Int Ch Show Drift our Basenji got his seventh Green Star which under normal circumstances would make him a Champion!! BUT in the South of Ireland we are under FCI and one of their rules is...to become a Champion the dog must have seven Green Stars under seven different judges and the last Green Star must be attained when the dog is 15mths or older...unfortunately Drift is not 15mths until the 18th of this month,so still needs to gain another Green Star,we hope to "finish" him on the Munster Circuit in 2wks time.
