Kemar
Welcome to our web home.
We've been owned by Whippets for nearly twenty years. About five years ago we added a Chinese Crested to our family. Then along came another and then a third. The two breeds, despite their differences in looks, actually get along great and are so much fun!
Along with the Whippets we show, we also rescue and are volunteers for WRAP(Whippet Rescue and Placement). Several of our most beloved dogs have been rescues that came and just never left. The most "famous" of these was Skinny Marie. Unfortunately we lost this great lady in January of 2008. We miss her so.
Butterfly's brothers and sisters are doing us proud! Ashley and Tara both earned their Therapy Dog title from AKC (THD) meaning they have logged over 200 hours doing therapy work. Ashley has also earned his RN (Rally Novice) title and has also entered the obedience ring! Jovi (formerly Oscar) has learned the joys of lure coursing and is bringing home the ribbons for his owner, Charlotte! Jovi recently earned his CGC title and earned the first of three required legs of his Companion Dog title with an awesome score of 194-1/2!
Kemar's Greater Fritillary (Fritz) completed the requirements for an AKC Grand Championship in February by winning Best of Opposite Sex all 3 days at the Foothills cluster dog shows. He just turned 2 years old last August! We are considering placing Fritz in a pet home, so if you're looking for a well-traveled companion, get in touch with us. Fritz is very smart, loves to run and would do very well in a performance environment.
River (CH Wesann's River of Dreams - a Fritz son) began his quest for AKC Championship in January 2012 and finished it March 2012 at the Raleigh, NC shows at the tender age of 9 months! He's now on the road to his Grand Championship! He is following closely in his father's pawprints! Brother Indie (Kemar's Independent Thought) was Best Puppy in Show at the Piedmont Kennel Club show in Charlotte, NC in April and earned his first points towards his AKC Championship. Sister Lady (Wesann's Edge of Glory) has had several Reserve wins to major pointed shows -- she will take off soon!
Ableaim Route-Sixty Four earned his first major at the Oconee River Kennel Club shows 5/6/2012. He's well on the way to completing his championship! Thank you to Gail and Jenny Boyd for allowing this handsome fellow to live and play here!
New addition to Kemar is Snowhill Wilhaus Obviously Something Special. This black and white girl is the epitome of femininity in Whippet form. I just can't keep my hands off her! She is so smooth to the touch! She debuts 5/19 at the Greater Kingsport Kennel Club shows in Gray, TN. Keep your eye out for this stunning girl!
Zydeco Sheng Feng (Payne) completed the requirements for an AKC Championship under Westminster Best in Show judge, Edd Biven! We are so excited and proud to have earned that final point under such a distinguished judge! Payne whelped 4 lovely puppies by Nitro (Ch Wesann High Octane)! They will make their debuts into the show ring in July 2012.
Thank you for indulging us in our pride over the dog's accomplishments! Welcome again and we hope you enjoy your visit to our home on the web.
