I was about 8 years old when mom ran into Carol Juelfs at the vet when my aunt was taking her dog Ginger in. Mom asked the usual questions like &#8220;What breed is that?&#8221;, etc and the next thing I know, we are picking him up the next day! He was about 6 months old when we got him, he&#8217;d had a broken leg and the bone grew around the pin. Carol thought he&#8217;d be lame and wouldn&#8217;t be able to run. We just wanted a pet anyway, but decided to check out the different things to do. Low and behold, we were hooked; got and LCM2 (which was HUGE back in the 80&#8217;s!!) and a show championship on Willie&#8230;and also a CD. He was a very versatile Whippet, my only regret is that we never bred him. Willie lived to the ripe old age of 12 before a heart problem made us let him go. I can still hear him walking down the hallway shuffling his toenails.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a title=\"Whippets of the Past\" href=\"https:\/\/swiftcreek.net\/?page_id=26\">Those we miss<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ch.
