"Memories"
Sadly these dogs are no longer with us, however this does not change how important they were or still are to us. To learn about them and our past, I hope you enjoy reading a little about them. LIM
"Leggs"
Ch Southwinds Legg O' Lamb
May 30 1977 - April 17 1990
This webpage would not be complete without my mentioning "Leggs" and the important spot he held in our lives. He was the first whippet here at Kentruth, up until that time we shared our home with Afghan Hounds, Scottish Deerhounds, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Leggs came to spend a week with us while his owner was off at the Belgian Sheepdog National Specialty, and he never left. He had already finished his championship, so was retired from the show ring. He spent his days, laying in sunbeams, or snuggled in his chair in the bedroom or going for rides in the car. At night he took his place in the bed, and I must say I slept soundly knowing Leggs was watching over our household. Like all good things in life our time with Leggs was too short, however his lasting gift to us was an appreciation of all things 'whippet'. Until we meet again, "Leggings". LIM

"China"
(nr.ch) Surrey Hill's China Beach
08-22-1994/02-07-2008
China never cared a whit for the show ring, she felt her purpose in life was to keep our property cleared of vermin and sadly low-flying birds. Despite or in spite of our differing opinions on her vocation, China managed to retire from the show-ring with 13pts with both of her majors, one of which was won by winning a Best of Breed from the classes over Top 10 competition.
China was never bred. However she was invaluable when it came to teaching manners to puppies and young dogs. Good-bye China. LIM

Though he never lived with us here at Kentruth, Pungo has had a profound effect on our lives, tragically he was taken away from us much too soon.
