With great Happy "Ness" we are pleased to brag about Nysa Hill The Art Of Happiness. He won both days at Orange Empire KC. One day winning BOB from the classes over a BIS winning bitch. Our warm congratulations to Angie Diehl, (breeder co-owner) and Kathy and Taylor Wilkinson, (owners) for this wonderful weekend for "Ness".

This was a very nice litter for Ness's littermate, Ch Nysa Hill Serendipity, "Seri", is already finished. She had many nice wins along the way to her title which included a Best Puppy In Show and a Specialty Select award to her credit. Handled all the way by her owner Leslie Jordan. Congratulations to Leslie and Angie for her future looks bright indeed. This litter is approximately 90% Chelsea breeding. They are sired by Jasper out of a Davis daughter. We are thrilled that thoughtful breeders continue to enjoy success from our efforts.

It's now Ch Chelsea My Blue Heaven (Ch Summit Sorcerer's Apprentice, ROM X Multi SBIS/BIS Ch Chelsea Dangerous Beauty, ROM) completed her championship at the Ventura KC. Our most enthusiastic congratulations to owners Doug and Jo Amann for their faith in "Skye" and their ability to see their way to the finish line in grand style!

"Truck" formally known as CH Cloud Nine What Brown Can Do For You (Jasper X Davis daughter, Smooch) finished with his fourth major!! We are thrilled with his whirlwind class career.

We are thrilled to report that two Jasper kids won top dog honors at the first California Specialty of the year. At the Greater San Diego Whippet Fanciers Specialty under breeder-judge Donna Lynch WD was Cloud Nine What Can Brown Do For You (Bred by Nancy and Kentt Billups and owned by Deana Brown and breeders) and RWD was Summit Ironwood Blaine (bred by Sue Vernon, Jennifer McEachern and Shawna McKay and owned by Sue Vernon). CONGRATULATIONS!!!

It is amazing to us to realize there is a winning Drake daughter who is 1.5 years old. This litter was conceived by 18 year old frozen semen 8 years after Drake died. Congratulations to FC Diablesse Surrey Hill Say Sorbet,FCh. She is major pointed in the conformation ring and just won her AKC field championship on New Year's Eve. Now she is balanced on both ends with coursing titles!
- It is the season for running. DC Arwen's Main Event at Summit (Merlin X Ch Chelsea Supernatural Odyssey,ROM) earned her AKC field title. With limited specialing she ended 2009 at #6 in the rankings.

Divide and Conquer! Jasper has his first field champions! The brother team of SBIS Ch Surrey Hill's Golden Boy, SC and Ch Surrey Hill's White Vienna, SC captured their ASFA field championships on the same weekend in different states. Congratulations to all concerned!

The second dog to finish this weekend is our "Joey". Formally known as Ch Chelsea Smoking Gun, Joey finished today in Tucson, AZ. Congratulations to owner/handler Maureen Mybeck for this wonderful accomplishment as a new Whippet owner in the toughest of competition. She finished with three majors (two of which were 5 pointers) and a BOB from the classes.
- "Bigelow" Formally known as Ch Cottonwood Melts Like Butter of Chelsea finished by winning his last single point. He was co bred with Sue Carbajal and Harriet Vincent. He finished with 3 majors which included WD at the AWC Western Regional Specialty (also BiSweeps on the day), a Hound Show major, and an AWC Supported entry major. We are not finished with this stunning litter. For four others are pointed from the cross and Chelsea will bring on another littermate to show as the new year dawns.

- It is now CH Chelsea Coturri at Lorricbrook (Jasper X Ember). Marcus finished his championship! He is the third to finish from the cross.
- Chelsea Smoking Gun (Smoke X Eye Candy) captured her third major by taking BOB over two specials. She lacks one single to complete her championship.

It's now Ch Chelsea Chamisal! Macy breezed through the classes. We waited for her to mature and the rest is history. Macy finished with 4 majors 2 of which were Specialty majors. The first was won under Mr. Richard Rupert at the Greater San Diego Whippet Fanciers Assoc. Her finishing major was won under Mr. Espen Engh at the Western Washington Whippet Assoc.


- "Bigelow" comes from a stunning litter co bred with Sue Carbajal and Harriet Vincent. Before the age of one year one individual from this cross is finished with BOB and Group placements from the puppy classes.
There are six others pointed, three of which are major pointed. "Bigelow" came back to us after his owner sadly died. After he settled in it was time to get to work!!
Bigelow has been shown at 4 show weekends (or portions thereof!) and has 11 points with 2 impressive majors to show for his efforts. His West coast Specialty debut was a unqualified success no matter how you look at it. At the AWC Western Regional Specialty he began the day winning BiSweeps under Mr. David Powers. He finished the day by going WD under breeder-judge Ms. Harriet Nash Lee (Winsmith). The following weekend at the Western Washington Hound Association he was WD under Borzoi breeder-judge Mrs. Patti Neale.
- New Canadian champion, Marcus (Jasper X Ember), is pictured winning his second BOB from the classes on his way to a Group 4. He is not only undefeated in Canadian competition but he has won BOB and a Group placement each time he has been shown. In the States he has a 4 and 5 point major. Needless to say we are very proud of this young man who is a littermate to Neiman and Macy. Congratulations to owner Jenny McCartney for the success enjoyed by Marcus!

Macy, formally known as Chelsea Chamisal, (Jasper X Ember) is on a hot winning streak. Within 6 days she won three majors which includes a Specialty major at the Greater San Diego Whippet Assoc under breeder-judge Richard Rupert (Oakhurst). After her second win in Bakersfield, Macy is now at a total of 13 points.

The marathon of Arizona shows is now a pleasant memory. Our Butters X Smooth babies faired well. Besides numerous class wins and RWD (4 out of the five days which includes the Specialty Reserve) and BOS in Sweepstakes one day for Bogie, (pictured far left with owner Kim Newell) formally known as Coreymore Smooth Operator of Chelsea, he snagged a 5 point major under Betty Ann Stenmark from the 6-9 puppy class!!
Jamba, formally known as Coreymore Butterscotch Smoothie of Chelsea (far right pictured with co-breeder-owner Sue Carbajal) was quite the hit by winning several classes as well. I was in puppy heaven as I showed all three one day or another throughout the long week.

It's now Champion Neiman! Ch Chelsea Chanticleer (Ch Chelsea Chalcedony X Ch Chelsea Hot Smoke and Sassafras) finished with four majors. Two of which were back to back 5 point majors at the highly competitive Del Valle KC.
