@ display from "The Whippet ", December 2008 eigenlich

wanted buy Mrs McKay a horse, landed by chance with husband Captain for Stanley Wikin because its famous Tiptree Whippetzuchstätte was near.

Thus ended the trip with the purchase of Tiptree Joan rather than a horse. The Laguna first Whippet litter fell 1945 and brought the first champion for Dorrit McKay , the beige female Jay Tiptree. This was successfully from Seagift Kennel issued.
A litter sister, Jovial Judy stayed at home and may as are called stem mother (In some pedigrees, we find them under the name Tiptree Jovial Judy and sometimes under the name Jovial Judy of Laguna. In reality it is registered in the Kennel Club under the name Jovial Judy). Jovial Judy was married to Ch Sapperly Heralder (also a Tiptree-line breeding product) and the champion dogs Laguna brought lawn (7 CC's and the BIS Whippet Club 50 year anniversary issue).
The big breakthrough came however, with the champion Brekin Ballet Shoes (a Spode daughter) which was acquired in the early 50 Glorious Years of Lady Danckwerts. mated with the lawn did throw the ultra-fine American Ch Laguna Lucky Lad (Westminster Group Winner in 1958. Winner of 9 TO 1957-1958), a pure delight. He was owned by the kennel Mardormere and was used only in their own kennel for breeding.
The result of another litter with Ballet Shoes was the beige male Ch Laguna Limelight and gestrommte bitch Lily of Laguna .

And here begins the "Kim" - Key:

Kim and Mrs McKay. @ Bo Bengtson, The Whippet 1980

The English Champion Laguna Ligonier many Whippetliebhabern is a term. For connoisseurs, he is the epitome of harmony , Curves, flowing lines, very good conformation, good bone, correct angulation, long neck and head aktraktiven with small, delicate rose ears. But who knows that this blaugestrommte male with white markings "only" 47 cm withers in mass? His nickname was " Kim " and he was born on June 30, 1960 in the UK near Newbury in Berkshire. For his breeder, Mrs Dorrit McKay, he was the ultimate "pick".
She had decided on this puppy, as Kim was just three days old (some breeders are convinced, so how's baby a week ago looks like will be the adult Whippet). Kim was not only beautiful, but he wrote Whippetgeschichte. His father, the English. Ch Bella Vista Barry is the producer of 9 Champion.
The most famous half-brother of Kim is well, no doubt, "the Golden One", the Am Ch Courtenay Fleet Foot of Pennyworth . Kim's mother, English. Champion Lily of Laguna was very small (like her son) successfully in the show ring and won 11 CC's. Throw your brother (and thus Kim's uncle) Ch Laguna Limelight was the father of one of the most famous Whippets in general: Ch Samarkand's Greenbrae Tarragon . then this is standard fair "being beautiful" well in the family, or rather at the close line breeding . Kim's parents throw Stamnes both of two sisters (Bright Spark / Ballet Shoes) from Lady's Danckwerts very influential Brekin from kennel. Lily's father (Ch Spring Field of Bartsia Allways) goes back to a half-sister of Brekin-bitches. In Kim's Pedigree is three times the classic show winner Ch Brekin inside Spode .
And last but not least, Kim is a repeat litter who first brought the enchanting Champion Laguna Leading Lady . Actually, his breeder was convinced that a repetition of what he does not throw the first time brought, but something "worse". Thank God, Mrs McKay has its own foreign exchange non-compliance and so Lily was again mated with her cousin: One of the most important Whippet ever saw the light of day! issued
The first time in spring 1961 , Kim was several times Best Puppy, including at the Crufts. The Junior Warrant title he also won more than Puppy, and in Blackpool, he won his first ResCC still a puppy! After several ResCC's his first CC with BOB followed by Charles Douglas-Todd (Wingefoot ") in Hove and the coronation Kim finished second in the group. In 1962 he finished his English. Beauty title with Best in Show at the NWA under Alec MacKenzie. On the whole, Kim could decide for themselves 7 CC's and around 1966 he was the father of five British Champions - including Ch Deep Ridge Mintmaster by many to be the standard itself known, and Ch Crest Tower Flarepath Taurus . Consequently, we can say that his biggest career he had as a stud dog. From 1961 to 1972 he was in use. On the whole, he had 80 litters, they brought 340 puppies (Stud Book inquiries by Simon Parsons for the magazine "Dog World" Thank you for the effort!)

Kim at the ripe age @ Bo Bengtson & Sighthound Review

Kim's influence goes far beyond the British borders, across Scandinavia and even in nearby Switzerland his children were highly rated. On the American show scene Kim's offspring milestones. Is Am Ch Laguna Leisure the grandfather of Ch Plumcreek Walk On Water (one of my favorites). However, the most successful son of Kim without a doubt who was at the BIS Ch Greenbrae Barn Dance , whose mother was a bitch-Laguna and a daughter of Kim's sister Leading Lady. Barn Dance was owned by Mrs. Clare Hodge's Highlight kennel and had great influence on breeding sites such as Stoney Meadows , MorShor, Appraxin, Rolling, Lorral, Whippoorwill Wood Smoke and in Canada. No one
would argue that sees on SBIS Ch Dela Creme de la Renta "English" out, however, ridiculed eugen no one, Kim is out of his pedigree zudenken not gone, not just as it would use the BIS Crufts '92 winner Pencloe Dutch Gold without Kim -give it all eight times in his pedigree is very impressive
represented ... the fact that very close line breeding on Ch Laguna Ligonier out was operated mainly in the States and not in the British homeland.

Laguna eye-glass at the age of 7 months. Both parents are due to Kim.
