...Rascal's progeny...
Ch Airescot Ruby Rascal's progeny
UPDATE 26 November 2006
More than a year since this page was updated! Shame on me!
Tonmawr La Petite Ballerina, "Holly"(see details of her
breeding in earlier Updates below) is now since long a British champion,
Rascal's first GB champion progeny, but not the last one and several more are on
their way.
From Holly's latest achievement, winning BOB of some 170 Whippets at the World
Show in Poznan,
we just received this picture taken by Gilbert, Belgium,
showing Holly with her breeder/handler Paul Jones and the breed judge Ferelith
Somerfield.
Holly was also among the last six to be pulled out in the Sighthound Group, by
Kenneth Edh, Sweden.
UPDATE 20 October 2005
At Driffield Championship Show last weekend Tonmawr La
Petite Ballerina JW
won her second British CC, judged by Keith Thornton,
and many more of Rascal's young progeny in England and Ireland continue to win
or get highly placed in their classes.
UPDATE 29 September 2005
More than a year since last update on this page, but during
this year I have reported many times
under Updates about Rascal progeny wins. Now it seems high time to say a few
words on this special page for his progeny.
From one of his first litters after his arrival in England ex. GB and
Irish Ch Colooney Silver Silas, Viv Coulter's own
C. Chiquitita is already an Irish champion, her litter sister C. Winner Takes It
All, owned in Sweden by Airescot,
is now a Swedish and Danish champion, and a third litter sister, C. Mama Mia,
owned in Ireland by Pamela Hunter,
won the Res. CC at the Belfast Championship show last weekend, judged by Mrs. C
Osborne.
This was only her 4th show ever and she has just finished rearing her first
litter (by Ch Airescot Bob Fest).
But that was only reporting on one of the many litters Rascal has sired since
his arrival in England.
His early progeny there is now out of puppy class and has started serious
competing,
and many of them have already been winning or highly placed in their classes.
But now, at the Northern Ireland Whippet Club Show, Tonmawr La Petite Ballerina
JW (ex. Nevedith Foxtrot Flair at Tonmawr)
just won her first CC, judged by Frank Kane, and at Darlington
Championship Show Zola Rawson
gave the Res. CC to Oakbark Mystery Romance at Brownsover (ex. Ch Oakbark
Mystical Pride).
UPDATE 17 August 2004
Again at the Hound Association Championship and Bournemouth
Championship Shows in England
a bunch of Rascal's puppies ex. various bitches have been winning extremely well.
One of them is the male Lotsmoor Wizard. He also won the Puppy Stakes at the
Hound Association,
competing with 105 Hound puppies,
and thus qualified for the finals in London in January.
Wizard was bred by Peter
Young ex. Modish Run From Love To Lotsmoor.
Interestingly enough she is a daughter of a Swedish Tintavon bitch exported to
England,
by Ch Airescot Fandango ex. Ch Signum Something's Got To Give.
Hopefully we'll soon have a picture of Wizard to publish on this website.
UPDATE 18 July 2004
Several of Rascal's English bred puppies are now being
successfully shown in the rings.
At Windsor Championship Show the first weekend in July puppies from six
different litters by Rascal
won their classes or were highly placed. Pictured below is Tonmawr La Petite
Ballerina, "Holly",
owned and bred by Paul and Joan Jones ex. Nevedith Foxtrot Flair at Tonmawr.
"Holly" won the Minor Puppy bitch class at Windsor, judged by Mrs. McKenzie, Australia.
UPDATE 20 April 2004
At the Northern Counties Whippet Club
Specialty in England April 18th
one of Rascal's daughters, Collooney Chiquita ex. Collooney Silver Silas,
won Best Puppy in Show.
She is seen here with the other BIS-winners:
BIS Ch Spyanfly It's Bardot, dog CC and res. BIS Elvencharm Zola at Turnstone.
UPDATE 4 April 2004

yesterday
Kristin Hoff, Courtbourne Whippets, Norway, found her BIS-winner in
Rascal's daughter Ch Albicans Hera Karsk ex. Ch Albicans Elanora,
bred, owned and handled by Åke Cronander.
BOS to Hera was Annika Janson's Ch Hot Isle Depend On Me
(Ch Statuesque Extortion ex. Hot Isle Cookie), bred and handled by Annika.
A. Brilliant Broomstick is also by Rascal,
otherwise these pictures don't really belong to his page...
The line-up of the five best males:
Ch Hot Isle Depend On Me, Ch Airescot Bob Fest, Ch Balzac Strålande Tider,
Ch Airescot Sapphire Stallion and Adagio My Culture
The line-up of the five best bitches:
Ch Albicans Hera Karsk, Samantha's Sidekick, Airescot Brilliant Broomstick,

UPDATE 16 February 2004
Great success for Ruby Rascal's
progeny in Sweden, Norway and England.
Last weekend our bitch COLLOONEY WINNER TAKES IT ALL won Best Puppy In
Show
of some 300 puppies of all breeds, first time out in the show ring.
And this weekend she repeated her success at the Swedish KC International
show
in Gotenburg, winning BIS-2 puppy in huge competition.
For pictures go to the Collooney sisters' page.
In Norway last weekend BOB and BOS went to Ch COURTBOURNE RAWHINS
and AIRESCOT BRILLIANT BARGAIN, both sired by Rascal.
This CC gave Bargain her Norwegian title.
And, last but not least, yesterday, at the Hound Show Open Show in
England
Ann Beckett-Bradshaw's 7½ months old bitch puppy Chrispan Dancing Queen at
Hutaka
was not only Best Puppy in Show of the 450 entered hounds but also overall Best
in Show.
The breed was judged by Annette Oliver, BIS-judge was Geoff Corish.
UPDATE 10 December 2003
At the Whippet Club of Wales Breed Specialty
puppies from Rascal's two first British bred litters had reached the necessary
age
of 6 months to make their show debut. Seven puppies from these two litters were
present,
and it was great to see two of them win BIS and BOS Puppy of the 59 puppies
entered.
BIS Puppy was HUBBESTAD ROCK 'N' ROLL
at MARCHPAST
ex. Hubbestad Femme Fatale, bred by Gerd and Geir Flyckt,
owned and handled by Stephen McMorrow.
Best Bitch Puppy was SAZKIA JADE OF
SIOUXLINE
ex. Craigavad Mona Lisa With Siouxline, bred and owned by S Ergis and J Manley.
Below is a picture of the two puppies plus a separate one of Rock 'N' Roll.
UPDATE 18 November 2003
*At the Swedish
Sighthound Club Specialty November 16th
Eli -Marie Klepp, Norway gave the dog CC, his second, to Rascal's son
Airescot Brilliant Bistro (ex. Ch
Paris Beatrix of Tiber),
owned and handled by Gunnel Eksvärd, Sweden.
Bistro is also the proud sire of the BIS-winning puppy at this show:
Bokellas Charmeleon ex. Ch Bokellas En Kvinna Av Stål.
Furthermore Bistro's litter sister Brilliant Broomstick was 4th Best Bitch.
The Bitch CC and BOS went to Albicans
Hera Karsk ex. Ch Albicans Elanora.
Only a couple of days ago she celebrated her second birthday, so she took her
first chance
to qualify for her title by adding this CC to her several previous ones.
Hera is handled by her breeder Åke Cronander, who co-owns her with Gunnel
Lönn.
*Rascal's Irish
daughters have now been given their own page,
"Frida's and Agnetha's
page", with all details plus pictures of them and their
dam.
On this page we'll just keep Annika Janson's picture below of Frida on the sofa
with her granddam Ch Airescot Red Redee.
UPDATE 25 September 2003
From one of the, until now, seven litters
sired by Rascal in England
two litter sisters from the Collooney kennels in Northern Ireland
have just joined the Airescots in Sweden.
They were born June 16th and their breeder is Viv Coulter.
The litter consisted of one male and seven bitches and all the puppies
were given names from ABBA songs.
Our two are Collooney Dancing Queen and Collooney Winner Takes It All.
We thought it appropriate to call them Frida, left, and Agnetha.
To see their pedigree click here.
Below is a first picture of their sweet faces.
UPDATE 10 July 2003
Long time since last update here, but
Rascal's progeny have been doing
well, in Scandinavia as well as in Canada and the US.
Between them they have won many CC's/Points towards their titles,
a couple of the oldest ones have already gained their titles.
Here is a picture of Albicans Hera Karsk
(ex. Ch Albicans Elanora), still only a youngster,
after winning BOB, the Group and BIS-2 at the SKK All Breeds show in Visby
July 7th,
all the way through judged by Sighthound specialist Göran Bodegård, Sweden.
Hera is handled by her breeder/owner Åke Cronander. She is co-owned by Gunnel
Lönn.
UPDATE 15 September 2002
Before leaving for Canada in December 2001
Rascal, in spite of his young age, sired seven litters in Scandinavia. It might
be some kind of a record
that six puppies from five of these litters have won BIS Puppy
at All Breeds Shows, some of them even more than once:
Courtbourne Rawhins ex. Ch Paper Moon's
Parisian Mam'sell
Skarnbro's Dream Devine ex. Paper Moon's Panache
Airescot Bistro ex. Ch Paris Beatrix of Tiber
Airescot Brilliant Broomstick ex. Ch Paris Beatrix of Tiber
Albicans Hera Karsk ex. Ch Albicans Elanora
Hot Isle Extreme Empress ex. Hot Isle Bisquit
and
Hound's Dance the Blues ex. Gazolin Krokett has won BIS-2 Baby Puppy
at a Swedish Sighthound Club Specialty
By August 2002 most of these puppies have now passed their puppy
stage,
and it remains to be seen if they'll live up to their early promise.
A couple of them have already started
their official show careers
with considerable success:
In Norway Courtbourne Rawhins, pictured
below, has won
several CC:s,
also with BOB and group placing, bred and owned by K, R & S Hoff.
UPDATE 20 August
August 18th Albicans Hera Karsk (ex. Ch
