Longdog and longer dog…

Another very big rosette for the collection— stake winner at the first Sporting Whippet Club meet of the year (in spite of the distractions of hormonal sisters taking the edge off one’s appetite and concentration).

Remembering Rufous & Rusty in their prime. Seeing them again as youngsters, the resemblance with Rosa is uncanny. She was obviously predestined to join them!

Lovely to see litter sister Rosa (Corfilgi Cadnawes) who came to watch her brother in action yesterday. ❤️❤️❤️

Sadly Ken and Karen recently lost her great uncle Rufous just short of his 16th birthday. With his brother Rusty, the Laguna brothers were a familiar sight at lurecousing events for many years, running as veterans well into old age. Condolences to you both.

The Corfilgi twins were one down yesterday as Midge could hold out no longer and just started her season. Red can confirm he enjoys challenging 750 yard courses. It was exciting to run with uncle Stan for the first time, but a shame he came a cropper half way round.

It was an ambitious event yesterday with so many dogs - the lure and quad bike must have covered over 30 miles in total. UKSS as a club continues to go from strength to strength.

Laguna breeding dominated the dog classes, Corfilgi Carw Coch winner of whippet sprinters and cousin, Laguna Luna’s Link, winner of the standard class.

As snug as a bug on a rug on a sofa, several layers of duvet plus an Emirates airlines business-class quilt!

Still as handsome as ever, can’t believe Leveret will be 13 in a few weeks. He likes his own space these days, so doesn’t always get included in family shots.

Hoping 2024 will be a safe and successful sporting year for all his amazing grandchildren.

The pitiful sound of a whippet experiencing existential angst…whining alone won’t make the garden reappear I’m afraid.

Soggy New Year greetings from the gang!

The lineup photo with the new pack member still needs a bit of work

Good day for kennel Corfilgi at UKSS championships, Red (Carw coch) and Midge (Cariad) came respectively 2nd and 3rd in their classes, Red against a strong field of 17, Midge out of 10.

(We haven’t told them their prize were a pair of new whippet pyjamas, they dislike wearing coats so much it might actually disincentivise them next time!)

Well done Midge aka Corfilgi Cariad for taking us completely by surprise and just making it into the SWC finals. Thanks too Carol Edgington for the lovely handmade invitation.

Pups came back from SWC in Somerset with a pair of big red rosettes, not quite a matching pair but then they both had very testing competition. Thanks to Liz for filming it and everyone involved in organising it.

Red seems to have temporarily mislaid his head.

21/08/2023

Very testing field yesterday, a sea of long unmown ryegrass which made it difficult for even tge best dogs to keep sight of the lure nevertheless the pint sized 8 year old Lupin kept going until she found it again

A mere click of their master’s fingers and they obey the command to move instantly 🤣 What you might call a master-class in sofa occupancy…

Auntie Lupin with fans James & Richard).

No rosettes but run of the day, Corfilgi Cariad trialling with her first cousin Jack (like two very stripy peas in a pod).

Our pups Uncle Lovell (Laguna Lockets Loved One, in white) winning the Donnington stakes on Sunday in style.

13/06/2023

Our pups both qualified for lure coursing on Sunday. Red —Corfilgi Carw Coch (in red)—really didn’t do too badly for his first competitive run against another fully experienced and competitive dog (a bit caught out by being on the wrong side after the first change of direction, but gaining the lead at the end after a superb sixpenny turn). Not rushing them into competition this year.

For those who don’t know, Frankie finally gave up his struggle with grass sickness a week ago, we’re both utterly shocked and completely devastated by his loss.
