I was so chuffed to be able to show under Mary Lowe - my hero! the author of my favourite whippet book - The English Whippet AND the lady behind the legendary Nimrodel affix.
There were only 3 in the class, but Louis was on form - very relaxed again, and listening and working well with me. I thought Mary might penalise Louis for his size, as being the breeder of coursing dogs of old, all of who had to come under the measure, I'm not sure he would.
I was really delighted with this win and really loved the critique Mary gave him which I thought was very fair.
