Guin brought up that the race practice was scheduled after close viewing of the event calendar for Northern California and in conjunction with a notice of the proposed time set for the event via the member's e-list. The e-list has over 60 mem-bers, so many more people saw the proposed date than would ever come to any one meeting, and no one com-plained about the scheduling. This proposal was tabled. Brad discussed the need for immediate trailer storage. Discussion ensued regarding pros and cons or different locales for storage. Brad was empowered to explore op-tions in the East Bay for storage and was empowered to rent a spot.

It was resolved to clean out the trailer and dispose of broken items at the Race Practice on April 6th. The next meeting of the NCWFA was scheduled for May 19th (Sun.) at the Coyote Hills show in Vallejo. People were asked to note a 10 AM ring time in their entries, so we

at cost to use as future prizes. Discussion ensued regard-
ing new designs, styles, etc. Discussion to continue at a

Spring has sprung with happy NCWFA whippet rescue tales!
Remember Cali? The beautiful young whippet girl who was found on Val-
entine’s Day with a coat on in a yard in rural Linden? Cali spent three very
trouble-free weeks fostering with Kim and Rick in Fairfield. Then all of a
sudden, she decided to jump their backyard fence, not once, not twice, but
three times in one day. This smart girl was scaling the gate to get out, for
reasons known only to her. She never went any where after her jail breaks,
but just wandered around the block looking for her people. After this scare,
Cali went to Kellee’s to be on “lockdown” until a home versed in keeping the
escape artist whippet safe could be found.
After a false start or two towards a forever home, Cali is happily settled in
San Francisco, with Helen Hultman, and whippet brother “Patch”. Helen
had just lost the whippet love of her life, “Pie”, and she and Patch were very
down in the dumps. Helen once had an escape artist whippet, “Sandy”,
whom she kept safe for her whole life, and she was up to the possible chal-
lenges of life with quirky Cali. It was love at first sight for this trio and Cali is
doing wonderfully! She has not even looked at Helen’s (very secure and
very tall) fence, and it is as if she and Patch have known each other forev-
er.
Everyone who meets Cali comments on how calm and beautiful she is, and
she is already a neighborhood star out in the Sunset district of SF.
Skoda is an eighteen-month-old shiny black and white male, who came into
rescue after his young family, who bought him from an internet seller, were
overwhelmed by the demands of three small children and one very active
whippet boy. Don McGuire picked up Skoda and he joined the DSM whip-
pet gang as a foster. Skoda proved to be an active young whippet, full of
energy, which he burned off with daily runs with Don and Clay’s whippets in
the forest near their home in Carmel. After a few weeks with the McGuire’s
Skoda started looking for his forever home. This boy needed an active
home, whippet savvy, and maybe one with kids, since he was great with the
little ones. When we put
Skoda up on the NCWFA
Rescue website the re-
sponse was amazing—
everyone was charmed by
Don’s fabulous photos of
Skoda and there were
more than five great home
choices from amongst our
applicants to choose from.
Skoda is now living with
Camille King, her partner
Rae Lovko, their eleven-
year-old son, and very
large whippet brother
Tony.
The whole gang is living the
life of Riley ( or is it Skoda?) In
El Cerrito. Many, many
thanks to Don and Clay for
taking Skoda into their home
and doing a fabulous job
fostering him!
Little Sierra-Seven is one of our “under the radar” rescues. Back in March,
there was what appeared to be a very young whippet puppy bitch at the
Fairfield shelter. Jean Balint went to check and reported back to say that
the puppy was obviously purebred, and probably around three-months of
age. Even more amazing, the little girl had been found running in a field in
Dixon, with no collar on, and no one had inquired about her in her four days
at the shelter. We immediately made arrangements for the poor little girl to
be released to our Rescue. Meanwhile, Guin had been in discussion with a
very nice family in Vacaville, who were looking for a whippet puppy and had
been unable to find one locally. Guin called Alicia, the Mom of the family,
and asked her if they might be interested in a rescue pup. Of course they
were and the match was made,
immediately upon the pup’s release
from the shelter. Little Seven has
charmed all the Riley’s and they are
already planning on their next whip-
pet! Thanks to Jean Balint for all her
help with this rescue and placement.
Until next issue...

The Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony!
L to R: Kellee Livingston, Rick Ragan, Rick Knutson, Debby Knutson, MJ Odron, Burt Greenspan, Ed Odron,
Marrianne Lu, Jean Balint, Guin Borstel, Robert Lattuga & Brad Briscoe.
On Saturday, April 6th, 2013, the NCWFA celebrated a very special occasion. The inaugural usage of our spectacular new race boxes
was accompanied by a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, lots of practice races, a gourmet lunch, and fun. In weather than ranged from rain
showers to blazing sun, the Club had lots of fun and trained lots of dogs and people on how to race. And—the boxes worked great!
9
By Kellee Livingston NCWFA has had our old starting boxes for 30 years and it was definitely time for a new set. We raised money for the boxes by having a garage sale in April of 2011. The goal of the garage sale was to raise money from people, other than club members. Club members donated their unwanted stuff and their time. In the end, we raised over 1700 dollars towards our new boxes while getting rid of a lot of unwanted stuff. Once we had the money for the new boxes, we needed somebody to build them. What to do? Robert Lattuga, one of our club members, said he could build the boxes. Robert, being a thoughtful person, wanted to improve on the boxes he had seen at our race meets. At past race meets, Robert had the honor of keeping his foot on the bottom of one of the box doors in order to prevent the dogs from busting out of the boxes from the back. His goal was to improve the overall strength of the boxes, the individual door structure and the rigidity of the boxes. Because our old boxes were really too small for today’s whippet, not to men-tion for any of the bigger breeds, we took the measurements from the Silken Windhound boxes that the Silken Club had been allowing us to use for our last few meets. Robert went to work on the plans and ordered the wood. Then, Robert and Marrianne began the framing and building of the side panels used to separate each individual box. During this process Guin and I received a text message asking if we know the formula for a trape-zoid. WHAT!! Thankfully Robert & Marrianne figured this type of thing out on their own. The next weekend I had the honor of helping Robert actually as-semble the boxes while Marrianne was off at a dog show. When I arrived at R&M’s, the frame of the boxes was in the garage and the panels ready to install. Robert had already attached the end panel and from there we worked our way to the other end. While helping Robert, I found out that he not only is an expert woodworker but also a wine-maker and lawyer working as general counsel for Leapfrog, the learning company. As we in-stalled each panel, I could see our new boxes coming together. By the time we were two-thirds the way through, Marrianne arrived home with food for us. We sat around and talked about what a great club the NCWFA is and how exciting it will be to have new boxes so that we can have race practice and race meets, without having to borrow other clubs boxes. After a full day’s work for me, and two weeks for Robert, the boxes were put together. It was now time for Marrainne to get painting. She chose a nice buttercup color for the boxes themselves and primary colors corresponding to the blanket colors for the doors. I had suspected that Marrianne might be a perfectionist and indeed she is. Two weekends later, the boxes had been painted to perfection. I picked up the boxes and off we went to the welder. John from John Romanoff Welding took on the front door project. Needless to say, he had never built a door for race boxes, but he was up to the chal-lenge. Brad and I dropped off our old boxes along with my personal practice boxes and John got busy replicating and improving upon what we had. Since John’s shop was just around the corner from my house, I could check on the progress every couple of days. John had fun with the project. One of the challenges we had with the door was to find the right springs so that the door would open up fast enough that the dogs wouldn’t run into it, but not so fast
that the door would pull the boxes off the ground. Luckily for me, I found a company called Lee’s Springs and got in contact with a salesman that could explain to me, in detail, how springs worked and what I needed. We had our box christening April 5th, followed by a very fun race practice and lunch. I want to thank Robert and Marrianne for taking on the race box pro-ject and building the most beautiful race boxes in the US. Within the next few months, we’ll try and get the plans for the boxes and the door up on the NCWFA website, for those people who are interested in the details.

The NCWFA gang’s presence at the
recent AWC National Specialty in
Oregon was felt mightily. We may
not have fielded all that many en-
tries, but percentage-wise, the Club
did very, very well! Among the
best of the best in the breed, the
NCWFA represented BOB, Select
Bitch, breeder of BOW, several
AOMs and class winners, and quite
a number of class placers. In per-
formance events, our members
took home several class firsts in
Obedience & Rally and a competi-
tive placement at the lure trial.
Even in the Art show, the NCWFA
made a splash, with Erin Campbell
winning Best Other Media/3D Item
in show with her mosaic “Dharma”.
