whippet puppyChoice was my "pick" puppy from PhaseYa's second litter (bred by myself and Kim Riddle-Carandang). He was exactly what I wanted out of that breeding, outline, substance, movement, strength and drive. His first show weekend out garnered his first win from the puppy classes all the way to Best of Breed (under judge Jon Cole). He raced with extreme drive and desire.

At 6 years of age Choice started his UKC show career and in 4 shows he completed his title with 4 Best of Breeds, 3 Group 1s and 1 Group 2.

whippetIn addition to his show and racing careers, he was a working service dog for me, and has continued that work with his current owner. He is a very intuitive dog and can sense what his owner needs, be it help getting up off the floor to comforting a panic attack victim through the tough bouts. His bullet proof temperament is what gives the glow to this wonderful dog and I couldn't be more proud of him.

We will very selectively show him and try to get that last major to finish his AKC show Championship, but whether he achieves it or not we know just how special of a dog he is. Choice was bred and produced the first SaeSi Int'l/Nat'l Champion (co bred with Linda and Mike Stone of MeLan Whippets). Choice also sired our litter born March 13, 2010 (7 males and 2 females). He is proving himself a very strong stud by putting the sidegait, outline and temperament we feel is so correct into his offspring.
