Puppies Puppies...

11/8/2018

0 Comments

 
There have been so many requests made for puppies by amazing people! Please remember that we are a NOT FOR PROFIT hobby kennel and having a litter takes a great deal of our finances, time and labor. At this time we may have a plan for a litter next year, but we will happily be forwarding your inquiries to those who may have puppies available. Please always RESEARCH and BE PATIENT! The right puppy or adult whippet will come to your home at the right time, from a RESPONSIBLE BREEDER who will support you for life. :)

The deadly disease called "Trust"

1/8/2018

1 Comment

 
There is a deadly disease stalking your dog, a hideous, stealthy thing just waiting its chance to steal your beloved friend. It is not a new disease, or one for which there are inoculations. The disease is called "Trust."
You knew before you ever took your puppy home that it could not be trusted. The breeder who provided you with this precious animal warned you, drummed it into your head. Puppies steal off counters, destroy anything expensive, chase cats, take forever to house train, and must never be allowed off lead!!
When the big day finally arrived, heeding the sage advice of the breeder, you escorted your puppy to his new home, properly collared and tagged, the lead held tightly in your hand.
At home the house was "puppy-proofed." Everything of value was stored in the spare bedroom, garbage stowed on top of the refrigerator, cats separated, and a gate placed across the living room to keep at least one part of the house puddle free. All windows and doors had been properly secured, and signs placed in all strategic points reminding all to "Close the door!"
Soon it becomes second nature to make sure the door closes nine-tenths of a second after it was opened and that it is really latched. "Don't let the dog out" is your second most verbalized expression. (The first is "No!")
You worry and fuss constantly, terrified that your darling will get out and disaster will surely follow. Your friends comment about who you love most, your family or the dog. You know that to relax your vigil for a moment might lose him to you forever.
And so the weeks and months pass, with your puppy becoming more civilized every day, and the seeds of trust are planted. It seems that each new day brings less destruction, less breakage. Almost before you know it, your gangly, slurpy puppy has turned into an elegant, dignified friend.
Now that he is a more reliable, sedate companion, you take him more places. No longer does he chew the steering wheel when left in the car. And darned if that cake wasn't still on the counter this morning. And, oh yes, wasn't that the cat he was sleeping with so cozily on your pillow last night?
At this point you are beginning to become infected, the disease is spreading its roots deep into your mind.
And then one of your friends suggest obedience classes, and, after a time you even let him run loose from the car into the house when you get home. Why not, he always runs straight to the door, dancing a frenzy of joy and waits to be let in. And, remember he comes every time he is called. You know he is the exception that disproves the rule. (And sometimes late at night, you even let him slip out the front door to go potty and then right back in.)
Years pass - it is hard to remember why you ever worried so much when he was a puppy. He would never think of running out the door left open while you bring in the packages from the car. It would be beneath his dignity to jump out the window of the car while you run into the convenience store. And when you take him for those wonderful long walks at dawn, it only takes one whistle to send him racing back to you in a burst of speed when the walk comes too close to the highway. (He still gets in the garbage, but nobody is perfect!)
This is the time the disease has waited for so patiently. Sometimes it only has to wait a year or two, but often it takes much longer. He spies the neighbor dog across the street, and suddenly forgets everything he ever knew about not slipping out doors, jumping out windows or coming when called due to traffic. Perhaps it was only a paper fluttering in the breeze, or even just the sheer joy of running.....
Stopped in an instant.
Stilled forever- Your heart is broken at the sight of his still beautiful body.
The disease is trust. The final outcome, hit by a car.
Every morning my dog bounced around off lead exploring. Every morning for seven years he came back when he was called. He was perfectly obedient, perfectly trustworthy. He died fourteen hours after being hit by a car.
Please do not risk your friend and your heart. Save the trust for things that do not matter.
Please read this every year on your puppy's birthday, lest we forget.

2017 is here!

Happy New Year! Life has been very busy and the hounds are happy. Lately, we have received many Whippet puppy or adult inquiries which shows that the love for the Whippet breed is strong. Please remember that we are a hobby "kennel" and do not do this often. However, we might have litter plans for the near future. If you would like to be on our waiting list please be sure to reach out through our contact form and/or we can connect you with fellow Responsible Whippet Breeders who may also have something special available for you. Whippets available for adoption or rescue are rare because Responsible Breeders take such good care of all of our puppies, welcoming them back home if the need arises. If you are searching for a whippet, remember that all good things often take time and are very much worth waiting for! Thank you to all of our wonderful puppy owners in the TripleStar Hounds family for the great photos and updates over the years.

Judge's Critique American Whippet Club National 2016

7/1/2016

1 Comment

 
Judges Critique for GG (BIF FC Jubilee TripleStar Apogee, SC) from the 2016 AWC National Specialty , Dr. Barbara Henderson.

Open Bitches – This class was large
and had thirty-two entries. The winner
of this class was Jubilee Triplestar Apogee
SC, a very elegant brindle parti that caught
my eye as she entered the ring. She did not
disappoint me when she was examined.
She was a substantial female, moderate
with no exaggeration with a pleasing
head and expression. Her topline flowed
nicely into her well let down hocks. Up
and back movement was flawless. Showed
at moderate speed she exhibited an open
easy side gait never letting her handler
down. Balanced front and rear angulation.
Complementary topline to underline. This
was my eventual reserve winner’s bitch and
one that I would like to take home. Her
overall quality was superior.
