| The word "first" applies to Whimsey. When I met her at the
age of 12 weeks it was love at first sight. Our connection was instantaneous
and complete. She went on to become my first champion, gain my first
group placement as a handler, produce my first champions as a breeder,
and recently, enjoy herself mightily as the first Veteran I have ever shown.
Whimsey never met a soul that she didn't like. Her sweet, friendly
personality made her an ambassador for the breed as well as a joy to live
with. Always a happy girl, she loved to show, covering the ground
with a fluid, effortless trot that could go all day. She relished
the adventure of each show, being a curious and outgoing bloodhound, and
took joy in the opportunity to make new friends and show the world how
much fun life could be.
Whimsey's type, movement and confidence carry on in her offspring.
Now she enjoys retirement on the couch or out in the yard supervising the
pack. If I am very lucky, I will share a lot more Veteran's classes
with her...
Whatever the future holds, Whimsey will forever be first in my heart.
