| Whizzy
was my first sled dog, and I was lucky that she had the best
features of both breeds she came from. To begin with, I did
not think she would work, but her strong working pedigree
(her uncle was Ch. Valchonok Prince of Forstal) shone
through and she ran wheel (and occasional lead) for me for
12 years. Whizzy was a huge
personality, and was a great favourite with visitors. One
friend said he liked Whiz best because "she's half DOG"!
Despite being crossbred, Whizzy
managed a sort of show career, in that she once won "Dog
with the Wisest Face" at the Broughty Ferry Gala from a
class of around 40. Mostly, Whizzy just pleased herself -
her aim in life was to get everyone around her to do exactly
as she wanted, and generally she succeeded.
She was a fine lady, and is very
much missed. |
