Jade remained at Smithvale as she is the last Ch Smithvale Galaxy Granddaughter to be bred, so holds a special place at Smithvale. Mom & Dad, thank you for taking such good care of her.
To date she has won: 2 x RBIS All Breeds Championship Shows, 3 x Group 1st, a Group 2, 2 x Grp 3rd, 2 x Grp 4th, with 10 BOB and 11 Challenge Certificates. As a puppy she notched up BPIS Whippet Club Ch Show as well as a Puppy Grp 1 & 2x Puppy Grp 4th at All Breed Ch Shows. To say we are THRILLED is an understatement.
Jade finished 2004 on a high note:
- Top Whippet (Animaltalk Top 100 Dog Ratings)
- No 3 Top Hound (Animaltalk Top 100 Dog Ratings)
- No 19 Top Dog All Breeds (Animaltalk Top 100 Dog Ratings)
- Top Whippet (KUSA Top Dog Ratings)
It is wonderful that Jade is keeping our kennel name in the "limelight" since we have emigrated. It is great having a lovely bitch left in South Africa to watch grow and to share in her successes. She is a lovely bitch with stunning movement, and so much like her mother Nikki in expression and temperament, so loving and gentle.
25 November 2003 Jade Whelped a beautiful litter of 3 bitches and 5 dogs to my favourite South African dog - BIS & Multi BVIS Ch Sergeant Pepper of Smithvale (Thug). Smithvale kept a lovely bitch, Smithvale Double Delight (Brigit) and after one Open show Brigit won BOB, Grp 4 and Puppy Group - an excellent start to her show career. |
