The elegant whippet

I was digging through old photos looking for a particular image and I came across this one, shot almost exactly a year ago.  This is Tawny (GCh Sporting Fields Bahama Sands) bred by Debbie Butt, and who was on the west coast for a show with her handler (and Debbie’s daughter) Amanda Giles.  I love…
