Here are photos of Rigby taken last week. He is in pretty grand condition for an 11.5 year old. In fact, he can still lure course. He is the joy of my heart... (along with my husband and my new baby (human) boy, born March 25!).

He is very good with my baby:

And, he has a wonderful life here in Florida. In addition, he has enjoyed seeing the world with me throughout the years. I will soon post more of him, and share our magical years together. He easily earned championship points, and he had no trouble succeeding on the coursing field. He has also helped me foster and rehabilitate many, many rescue dogs. He has shared me graciously with senior dogs I adopted and kept, puppies I raised and trained and then found forever homes for, and many others. What a star- he knows my heart and mind better than I do.

Both of your boys are just beautiful! I think I would frame and hang that last picture... It's precious!

Thank you!

My son was just a few days old there. So sweet...

They are pals!

He is a beauty. Looks great for an 11 year old too. Welcome to the forum BTW

What a treasure he must be. Beautiful! Post some coursing pics!

I am terribly sad to say I don't have any shots of him coursing! I hope to god I get some before it is too late.

I do have some (not scanned, this was before digital cameras!) shots of him being slipped by me, and of him as a dot in the distance. But, I really want some professional ones.

There nothing like watching a Whippet run. There are TONS of Whippets out here, they seem to be a popular breed here. I'm surprised they don't have a Whippet Specialty. Well post some as soon as you get some please! They are poetry in motion.

Considering their absolute hatred of the cold, I am surprised! hehe but I bet they run to keep warm!

Oh, I just love Whippets -- Rigby is awesome!!

The new baby is pretty precious, too -- Congrats!
