Whippets Of Stormida

01/01/2025

A great start to the year for our little homebred Stormida show team at the Coventry Ladies' Kennel Society Open Show under Judge Stephen Goodwin (Lanola).

Cyril, Sampson and Margot all won their classes, giving us the nice headache of having to find additional handlers for the Best of Breed Challenge! (Big thanks to Cy and Kathy for stepping in to help out so brilliantly!)

Margot won Reserve Best of Breed and then went on to win the RBOB Hound competition (thanks again Ellen for telling me about it as I was packing up to go home 😆).

Lovely to see Ellen and our BOB winner Gem go on and win Hound Group 1 as well! A great day for the whippets and a great time had by all. Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🥂

The Stormidans had a great morning out in the snow. I will never tire of watching dogs playing in the snow as long as I live 🤗😍

Happy 2nd Birthday to this little lot! 🎁🎂🎉 Officially no longer puppies.
It seems like yesterday they were born but at the same time I can't really remember life before them. Love my baby Rudi's 🥰

We had a lovely day at South West Whippet Club Champ Show yesterday with Cyril and Sampson both placing well with 3rds in Post Graduate Dog and Novice Dog respectively, qualifying again for Crufts 2025 🤩.

I always try to ensure the days are fun for the dogs too and here are the boys enjoying a well earned post-show walk at nearby Bannerdown Common 🤗.

Nothing in the breed classes at WELKS Champ Show today for Stormida, but then Sampson
(Stormida Neon Tiger) went and won a large AV Hound/Terrier Special Beginners class under Judge Steve Atkinson!

A fab day in great company as always and some really heart warming winners. Well done to all and thanks to Catherine Tristram for the laughs and the vids! 🤗

💙💚 Stormida The Brave 💚💙

Not to be outdone by his little brother's Crufts exploits, it was Cyril's turn to be star of the show today with a well earned win in Post Graduate Dog at the Houndshow Open and then going on to finish Reserve Best Dog in Breed in the challenge. Get in Big C! 😃🤩🤗

Just love this little nutcase! Here he is enjoying his post-victory walk 😎🎊🎉

I've been sent this wonderful video by Dave Ford of his lovely dog Logan's final show at Crufts. It gives a great insight into the what goes on in the background of the show, before you get to what you see on TV in the main arena. It's a great watch.

Excitingly for us, he picked our class 'Junior Dog' to use to explain the process, so Sampson and I feature quite heavily from around 8 mins 30. We're on first, so we're far left of shot. You can just about see how shocked I was when we won - I couldn't work out what was happening 😂.
