First let me say good luck to all exhibitors. Enjoy yourselves and have good time. It’s always fun to be out with our dogs.

Now a little bit about me, I have been involved with whippets for over 35 years (Wow, I can’t believe it’s been that long). I have bred whippets on a very limited basis over those years. I have strived for Dual Titled whippets in both the ring and on the coursing field. I also have bred several Dual Champion whippets and in multiple countries. I am an AKC Coursing Judge (15 Years) as well as an ASFA Coursing Judge (30 Years). I am also an AKC Confirmation Judge (15 Years). I have held multiple positions with many of the local whippet clubs including the Cascade Whippet Club, the Western Washington Whippet Association, and the Lower Columbia Lure Coursing Association. I was active with the American Whippet Club and served as the Top 20 Show Chairman. I also served as the Local Show Chair for the American Whippet Club National Show in Olympia, WA in 1994.

I am honored to be here and want to wish all the exhibitors’ happy coursing and good luck at the National.

Hi – I’m Sue Smith and I hail from the rotten little town of Perris, California.

I’ve been involved with lure coursing since 1981, when I got my first Sighthound, a Saluki. Baashiq was a wonderful dog, incredibly keen, and never learned to “share the lure” – his

most shining moment in lure coursing being when I had to chase him around for 20 minutes after he decided that the other dog he was running with “MUST DIE” …

At the very next event, I brought him out to run him alone for practice, and low and behold there was an ex-pen full of the most charming puppies – Whippets. Ann Billups handed

me one of the pups and said “walk him around to help socialize him” – so I did. A wonderful little brindle and white boy, not afraid of anything, and willing to love and kiss

anyone. At the end of the day, I gave him back to Ann, with sadness in my heart. That pup crooked his paw and wrapped himself around my little finger. Next weekend, at the

next event, I asked her if he was available. He was, and came home with me that day.

He became formally known as BOB’N JUST A GIGOLO – Jiggs. Named after the David Lee Roth song popular at the time – “Just A Gigolo” – he was my greatest pride

and joy and my greatest frustration. He was incredibly keen, as long as it was after a rabbit or coming out of a starting box. Lure coursing was something he “dabbled in” – I

never knew from time to time if he would go past the first pulley J He loved obedience, just as long as it was “his way” – Jiggs eventually got his CD.

And most importantly, he was the foundation for my love of Whippets.

Over the years, I have run a number of my own dogs, and have run dogs for others. I’ve owned two “Turkey Run Best of The Best” winners, an AKC NLCC BOB winner

(okay, it was my Saluki), and have a number of specialty trial winners as well.

I firmly believe that “form follows function” and that the pretty dogs should run too.

I’ve worked in the “renewable energy arena” for the last seven years. My company facilitates “organic waste to energy” projects, and sell scientific equipment and instruments for the

biogas industry.

I currently share my home with one Italian Greyhound – Sasha. There will be a Whippet again in the future.
