Free Kisses!

This arrived in my in-box today, from Jetstream Whippet owner and Photographer Extraordinaire, Jill W.  "Joey" and "Tess" are often the subject of Jill's work, and we are the lucky recipients of the beautiful photos that Jill creates.  I'll be first in line for some Whippet Kisses from these adorable pups!! Thanks, Jill!

Winter Blahs?

 

I can't think of anything that chases away the "Winter Blahs" better than watching the antics of a whippet puppy (or several of them!) playing and entertaining themselves.  It is infinitely amusing, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face (and, let's "face it", with the weather we've been having, we can all use a smile right about now!). Pictured here are "Benji" and his sister "Princess" (from our litter born November/13) who are looking for "forever homes". Feel free to contact us if you'd like to add a little ray of sunshine (and a lot of puppy love) to your own "blah" winter.

Autumn Splendor!

What a beautiful Autumn we've had!  Here is "Elle" (from our Kimmi and Mojo litter born on August 6, 2013), enjoying the last warm days.  Elle lives with Monica P. in Dundas, Ontario.

Happy New Owners

We have the nicest puppy owners!  Here's what a recent new puppy buyer had to say:

 

"Let me start by saying that Jeff and I were very impressed by all your adult dogs and the pups.  Beautiful.   Your knowledge of your dogs is amazing.  I know you might think that all breeders have that amount of knowledge regarding their dogs, but that is just not so.   That fact that you knew the personalities of all the puppies is more than impressive.  I feel secure in knowing that your only a phone call away."

 

Jeff & Jan, Newmarket, ON

 

Thank you for your very kind compliments, Jan!  We know that Jada is one very lucky puppy to be a member of your family.

U.S. Success!

We are just back from Atlanta, Georgia, where we travelled to compete at a four-day event of shows, including local and regional Whippet specialties.  We are very proud to announce that Kimmi was awarded Best of Winners at the Metropolitan Atlanta Whippet Association Specialty (for a 5-point major!).  The following day, sister Cheekie earned the Select Bitch award, and her first points towards her American Grand Championship!  We are ecstatic with both wins, as the competition was extremely tough.  Here is "Princess Kimmi" relaxing on the hotel room bed, after a hard day at the show.

Puppies!

We have puppies currently available and ready to go to their new homes, from our beautiful Tango x Chesney litter. These babies are absolute sweethearts, having their sire & dam's wonderful demeanour and good looks!  Please contact us for  more information.

 

 

 

Tango's Litter is Born!

Yesterday, we welcomed Tango and Chesney's puppies.  Eight beautiful females, all in shades of fawn with varying amounts of white markings, and all with beautiful masks and white blazes. Tango is a devoted mother, and all are doing well.  For reservation/availability information, please contact us.

Gaia's Puppies Are Here!

We are delighted to announce that Gaia's litter was born on August 2, 2012.  We have 6 beautiful brindle babies, 4 females and 2 males.  Gaia is being a wonderful mother, and the pups are thriving.  Proud Papa is Ch. Joska Forgetmenot Idealist ("Fergus"). Contact us for more information on availability.

Email problems...

ARGHHHHHH!!!!  Unfortunately, we have been plagued with email issues recently.  Some of our emails are not being received (both incoming and outgoing), and it has been extremely frustrating!  If you have tried to contact us recently by email, and have not heard back, please follow up, or give us a phone call.  We never ignore messages, so if you don't hear from us, it's because we have not received your emails.  We apologize for this inconvenience, and assure you that we are trying to discover and remedy the source of the problems.

Great News!

Our lovely Tango (Best in Show and multiple group winner Ch. Jetstream Classique) has been confirmed pregnant via ultrasound.  Bred to Am. Ch. Fanfare's My Kind of Crazy, we expect a beautiful litter of fawns to be born on or about August 15th.  You can see Tango and Chesney on our Puppies page. Please contact us for more information.

Puppies on the Way!

We are so excited to announce that our princess, Gaia, is definitely pregnant, and is expecting her litter about August 2, 2012. An ultrasound shows a nice sized litter, and Gaia is acting the part of an expectant mother. We are indulging her, of course, with special, tempting treats and lots of extra TLC. Here is an ultrasound photo showing three of the little pups, at about 27 days' gestation.
Stay tuned for more news in early August.

Two Exciting Breedings!

Two very exciting breedings have taken place at Jetstream Whippets.  Our lovely princess, Gaia (dam of our superstars "Cheekie" and "Kimmi"), has been bred to Joska Forgetmenot Idealist. "Fergus" himself has produced some outstanding offspring, and we have great expectations for this pairing.  If all goes well, beautiful brindle babies should be born about August 3, 2012.

Fergus

Our second liaison between our stunning Best in Show winning "Tango" and handsome gentleman "Chesney" (Am. Ch. Fanfare's My Kind of Crazy) will hopefully result in a litter of exotic and curvy fawn babies, to be born about August 14.  See our "Puppies" page for photos of Tango and Chesney.

Great Weekend at Canadian National Specialty!

Jetstream Whippets had a great weekend at the Erie Shores and associated Sighthound & Whippet Specialties over the weekend of June 1-3. On Friday, June 1, our "Kimmi" made it all the way to the final cut (in an entry of over 60 Whippets) at the Great Lakes Whippet Club specialty, under judge Espen Engh, literally just missing out on an Award of Merit (as the Winner's Dog was doubled up with an AOM). 

At the National Whippet Club of Canada on Saturday, under esteemed Whippet judge Bo Bengtson, "Cheekie" was awarded an AOM in an entry of about 70 Whippets; she also earned "Best Breeder-Owner Handled Whippet in Specialty.  Their dam "Gaia" (Ch. Forgetmenot Glamore) was awarded the Best Brood Bitch in the National Specialty, and Jetstream Forgetmnot Playboy earned his first altered championship points by winning Best Altered Male, both at the GLWC and NWCC specialties.

At Gazehound Ontario, on Sunday, June 3, litter sisters Cheekie and Kimmi were both granted Award of Merits under judge David Miller!  Kimmi also earned the Best of Opposite Sex award at the all-breed show, in a very competitive entry, under judge Eugene Blake.

Despite the less than perfect weather, we had many great reasons to smile!

New Puppy at Jetstream!

On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed "Opal" to our Jetstream family.  She is "Forgetmenot Jetstream On Fire", and she is beautiful!  For an 8-1/2 week old pup, she carries herself so well, and when something catches her eye and she strikes a pose, she is breathtaking!  Thank you, Joanne (Forgetmenot Whippets), for entrusting this lovely baby girl to us.  Her future is sure to be a hot one!  Photo soon!

Izzy's First Points!

At the Purina National show this past weekend (March 11th), Isabelle, more formally known as "Jetstream Party at the Mansion", earned her first three points towards her Canadian championship, under Judge Enrique Filippini of Buenos Aires, Argentina.  We are very proud of Izzy, just 13 months old, as this was her first time shown, and in a cavernous, noisy building at that!  Next stop:  American Whippet Club National Specialty in Huron, Ohio (April 2012).

Jetstream's New Website!

We have a new website!  My wonderful friend, Joanne Boudreault, has been hard at work creating a new look for us on the web. Joanne has tremendous creative talents and artistic abilities, and these are reflected in our new website.  Thank you, Joanne -- you are an inspiration!
