Tyler Courses in Reidsville

Another fun weekend for Tyler. He was able to lure course, which he loves and spend the weekend outdoors.
An added bonus, 2 of his his offsping from his first litter (Jazzee and Jitterbug) both earned points towards their field championship this weekend. A third girl (Jada) previously earned her SC title.
Also, from his second litter, he now has 4 girls that have earned their JC titles and 2 that have participated in the open stake for the first time. One of those girls, Morgan, placed fifth on Sunday.
Way to go Tyler and his offspring!

Thanks to Mike for the great photos. I love the first one here where he is going for the bunny!

Tyler Lure Courses in Rocky Mount, NC

The weather was hot and the field was dry, so Tyler ended up with a pretty good tear to one of his front paw pads. Despite the mild injury, Tyler had a good time, as always. This boy does love to run!

ASFA trial in Rocky Mount, NC

Saturday (April 19th, 2008) was a great day in Rocky Mount, sunny and warm (almost too warm for this time of year). We had a great turnout - 52 dogs each day - and with great judges and lots of help, the trial ran very smoothly. Whippet open had 11 entries and Tyler took 4th place (10 more points towards his ASFA championship!). Way to go Tyler. Our friends Keely and Kenny placed as well with a 2nd and 3rd place finish. Good job!
Sunday (April 20th) was not as sunny, some rain in the morning and down-pours during the runoffs and BIF. Keely, Kitty and Kenny placed today (2, 3 and 4).

AKC - Hickory trial in on March 30th, 2008

Yet another rainy day (see post on Cali's page from yesterday), still cold, but lots of fun and another 5 point major at stake. Today was Tyler's turn to shine. He started out in 1st place after the preliminary runs, but took 4th place overall. Go Tyler!

About Tyler

Tyler is my special boy. He was born on May, 23rd of 2004 and is sired by Smoke (Ch Chelsea Where There's Smoke) and Emily (Ch Ableaim Dixie Chick SC). He joined our family at just over a year of age after our greyhound Tim passed on. It took him a bit of time to adjust to a new home (including a scary few days when he ran away, luckily he was found with no injuries!). However, one would never guess now that he resisted the move. I can't imagine him living anywhere else. He has become my new running partner, just show him my running shoes and he gets all excited. If he can't be running/lure coursing, his choice would be to lounge outside in the yard and sun ALL day long. His only interruption would be the occasional squirrel or deer that must be chased out of the yard. If I finally get him in the house, he quickly runs to the closest sofa or bed that he can lay on (one must have comfort). He and Cali have become best buddies and are rarely separated. They are actually half brother and sister (their mother is Emily - Ch Ableaim Dixie Chick). Tyler has sired 2 litters thus far and they can be seen at the Ableaim website - link below. Morgan, our third whippet, is one of his daughters out of his second litter.
