"Lucia" - Has given us all a wonderful few years of excitement. We would like to thank all the breeders, Judges, and whippet folks who supported Lucia. Lucia will now rest on her laurels and move onto new challenges - motherhood, coursing and obedience!! She has started coursing and racing where she is pointed in both and has a Best in Field at an AKC Whippet specialty trial - her very first AKC trial competition!! Lucia retired from her show career as the all time top winning female whippet in our breed. Her record has now been surpassed, but we are very proud of her accomplishments at that time.

Lucia was ranked as the Number #1 All-Breed whippet in 2003 & 2004.

Some of Lucia's accolades in 2003/2004:

-Best Of Breed - Westminster Kennel Club 03'- Judge Mr. George Bell

-2003 AWC Top 20 Winner

-Award of Merit 2004 & 2005 AWC Whippet National (not shown in 2003)

-Multiple Specialty Best In Shows

-Ranked in the Top 5 Hounds All-Systems both years
