Ch./Alt. Ch. Loughren's A Finestkind FCHX Am. FCH CGC OTR
Ashley has the grace of a deer, the manners of a lady and the spirit
of a hunting falcon. She has earned over 750 lure-coursing points in very tough competition, and was the #4 lure-coursing
whippet in Canada in 1996. She is also, as far as we know, the first whippet ever to earn an Altered Champion title
in Canada.
Ash was our very first whippet, and also our first purebred dog of
any breed. Her calm and gentle nature makes her a favorite of young children in particular. Ashley is retired from competition and
in her senior years is now concentrating on her passions - stuffed fuzzy toys and vanilla ice cream.

Welsh legend tells of the pack of white hounds with red ears that run through
the clouds in the Wild Hunt. To date, Cosby has shown no sign of supernatural powers. However, he is a very talented
lure-courser who earned his Field Champion title with a first and two seconds in his first three trials, against top competition.
He promptly repeated this feat in Obedience, earning his CD in his first 3 trials.
Cosby comes from from multipurpose lines and also competed successfully
in conformation showing and NAWRA straight racing, and has earned Oval Race Champion points on the oval track (NOTRA).
High points of his career include winning Best Puppy at the NAWRA/NOTRA Nationals Fun Match in 2001, and winning BOB at the
Canadian National Whippet Specialty Lure Course, also in 2001.
Cosby suffered a career-ending fall in a lure-coursing accident shortly
after his 3rd birthday, and is now unable to run due to a permanent injury to his carpal joint. At the time he
was injured, he was running as an 'A' grade racer on the oval track. His injury also ended his career in CKC Obedience, as
his vet has prohibited him from jumping. Cosby has now turned his attention to CARO Rally Obedience, where he will not
be required to jump in order to participate.
Cos has some distinguished relatives, including his sister Vanna (Capetown
Vanity Fair Am. FCH ORC), his mom Molly (FC Loughren White Rain Am. FCH, #1 AKC lure-coursing whippet in 1997) and
his paternal aunts Becca (Queenie's Wave Runner ARM, SORCII, ARX, AmFCh, FD ) and Flame (Ch. Queenie's Hearts A Fire, ORC,
ARX, CRX-V, DPC, Am FCh). Cosby is a happy and sensitive boy who always greets his friends with a grin and a waving
tail.
Cosby earned his CARO Rally Novice (Cum Laude) title, making him the very
first whippet to earn a Canadian Rally Obedience title. True to form, he earned his title in his first 3 trials.
He has now earned two Advanced-level legs and is awaiting his third. Cosby has been completely clicker-trained
and has never worn a choke-chain.
