The new year has begun and things have been busy here at TripleStar Hounds! We have been focusing on Lure Coursing and Whippets Remington (Ch Lishima's All Fired up at TripleStar, SC, CGC ) and GG (BIF Jubilee TripleStar Apogee, SC) are getting close to finishing their Master Courser (MC) titles. GG is also almost done with her hard-earned Field Championship (FC) and we could not be more proud of her! Billy the Ibizan Hound (Ch Ahram's Rebel Yell at TripleStar, JC) Qualified to course (QC) and earned his Junior Courser (JC) title. He has also been picking up Grand Champion (GCH) points when available at conformation shows.

The American Whippet Club National Specialty will be upon us April 23 through May 1st, 2016, held in San Diego, California. We are gearing up for this big event and very excited to attend. I am the catalog advertising show chair and happy to help. I am also on the committee for the American Whippet Club Western Specialty to be held on July 7th at the new location of Cal State Channel Islands in Camarillo. The entire Summerfest shows will be held at this location instead of the Ventura County fairgrounds for 2016. If it goes well, we will see what will happen location wise for the following years.

Our new show prospects are looking wonderful and have just turned 6 months today. Expect to see them hitting the show ring fairly soon! I will be holding some back to be selectively shown and will proudly be presenting them in the Futurity puppy classes at the 2016 AWC National Specialty.

This year holds much promise! We wish all of our wonderful partners and hound owners the best of luck in everything.

What more can be said? We had a great Hound Classic 2015! Ahram's Rebel Yell at TripleStar finished his AKC Championship with his 4th major at the AM show under breeder- judge Ms. Luane V. Williams of Five Alarm kennels. TripleStar Blazin' Benelli won the competitive Bred-By Exhibitor class in the friday afternoon specialty and was Reserve Winner bitch to the major. On Sunday, Winway Francie Fairchild at TripleStar won the Open class and was Reserve Winners Bitch to the major under judge Mrs. Stacy Davis.

What a great weekend at the Orange Empire Kennel club dog shows! On January 24th and 25th, our only dog entered - Ahram's Rebel Yell at TripleStar, won back to back Best Opposite Sex to Best of Breed for both of his majors from the 9-12 month puppy class. Thank you to judges Ms. Beverly Capstick and Mrs. Patricia Nemirovsky de Alsina.
Special thanks always to breeder Michelle Paulin for entrusting us with such a fine animal.
