UPDATES 2008
UPDATE MAY 4
"Taksi" is definitely in whelp!
UPDATE April 1
This is not an April Fools' joke, but the
plain truth:
March 28 Taksi, Ch Collooney Winner Takes It All, was
bred to Ch Wolf Tone Viking.
Viking is the sire of many successful
Whippets spread around the world
and Taksi is already the dam of two wonderful litters.
Below you'll find the pedigree of this litter, which is expected in the
beginning of June.
If you would be interested in a puppy from this combination, please send a mail to

UPDATE April 29
Today, at six weeks, Taksi's Sunday puppies by Spike
haven't been stacked,
but below you can see a few snapshots taken as they enjoy outdoor life in our
lovely Spring sun.
In the frónt row from the left: Sunrise, Splendid, Surprise and Suntan.
Behind them Sunshine and Spring are more or less covered,
but on the next picture you can see them running on their own.

The puppies we can see are Sunrise, Suntan and Sunshine
Marching on here are from the left: Suntan, Splendid and Sunrise
UPDATE April 22
Today Taksi's puppies by Spike are 5 weeks old and we have made a first attempt
to stack them,
with more or less success. First the four males, then the two bitches.
Airescot Sunday Surprise
Airescot Sunday Suntan
Airescot Sunday Sunshine
Airescot Sunday Sunrise
Airescot Splendid Sunday
Airescot Spring Sunday
UPDATE April 15
At four weeks we don't even try to stack Taksi's Sunday
puppies,
but on the picture below, taken today when enjoying their food,
you can see that they are very even for size, and that the "blue" ones are
getting more and more fawn coloured.
A couple of the puppies are still for sale,
so if you would be interested in one of them, please get in touch.
Ett par av valparna är fortfarande till salu, så om du är intresserad, hör av
dig till
nenne.runsten@telia.com
or/eller 46-(0)708-98 94 96.
If you start with the blue/fawn brindle puppy at the top
left and go clockwise,
you'll find Sunday Suntan (male), Splendid Sunday (bitch), Sunday Sunrise (male),
Sunday Surprise (male). Sunday Sunshine (male) and Spring Sunday (bitch, putting
her foot in the food).
UPDATE April 1
Today, two weeks old, Taksi's puppies don't look very
different from when first pictured,
but they are bigger, heavier and just about to open their eyes.
Also they have been pictured separately and have been given their Sunday names.
As usual the boys have the common denominator, which this time is Sunday, in
front of their names,
while the girls have it behind their names.
As you can see the blueish puppies are turning fawn, starting on their heads.

UPDATE March 19
Yesterday, March 18, "Taksi" whelped her lovely Sunday litter by
"Spike".
For pedigree of the litter and pictures of the parents see Updates below.
Here are snapshots of the puppies, one day old,
four males and two bitches.
The light blue boy might turn out fawn, the dark blue one might stay blue,
the dark brindle ones will lighten in colour in between their brindle markings
and probably end up like their sire in colour,
at least they look just like he did at this age.

Pedigree of this litter born March 18, 2007
UPDATE February 25
There is no doubt now that "Taksi" is in whelp. The litter
is expected around March 20.
For more information and pedigree see Update below.
UPDATE January 19, 2007
To try out an even more exciting combination
we have changed our breeding plans published below for "Taksi's" next litter.
Yesterday, January 18, "Taksi",
Ch Collooney Winner Takes It All,
was successfully bred to 19 months old Airescot
Broadway (Ch Sporting Fields Kinsman ex. Allsatin Swedish Love Affair).
"Spike", as he is called, has already gained two CC's in Sweden and a whole
bunch
of CK's with placements among the five best males, well handled by his owner
Elisabeth Magnusson.
The picture below left was taken by Peter Vecht at the
Gothenburg shows a couple of weeks ago.
The picture to the right was taken from ringside in July 2006, when "Spike" was
competing in Junior Class.
Below is a picture of "Taksi"taken by Lillemor Böös in July 2006.
We have great expectations for this litter.
Taksi and Spike both have lovely temperaments and are of ideal size.
UPDATE 20 October 2006
Collooney Mamma Mia is a litter sister to our "Taksi" and
"Frida", i.e. Ch C. Winner Takes It All and C. Dancing
Queen.
Mamma Mia is owned in Ireland by the Mossbawnhill Kennels, and early in 2005 she
had a remarkably successful litter
sired by Int Ch Airescot Bob Fest.
Numerous puppies from this litter are lovely and have done a lot of winning in
the show rings
in Ireland as well as in England, some of them reported on in our Updates.
"Frida" had a small but very promising litter this Summer
by Skräddaregårdens Spicey Lion (see pictures below),
"Taksi" had a wonderful litter by "Beo", Sportingfields B&W Airescot, in January
this year.
Several pictures of her puppies can be seen on Taksis's page.
Early in 2007 we plan to breed "Taksi" to Bob Fest, hoping
that she'll produce as remarkable a litter
as her sister did in Ireland.
"Taksi" is now in her prime and should have been shown more than we have had
time to do,
but we enjoy watching her at home every day.
UPDATE 10 September 2006
Today Frida's sons are 7 weeks - and all pulling a little backwards!
Airescot George
Airescot Harris
Airescot JJ
UPDATE 24 August 2006
Today, at almost 5 weeks, Frida's three boys have been
stacked for the first time, more or less willingly.
They all have lovely pigmentation, dark eyes and lots of body and bone.
One of them might still be for sale.
Airescot George - 5 weeks
Airescot Harris - 5 weeks
Airescot JJ - 5 weeks
UPDATE 11 August 2006
Frida's puppies, named George, Harris and JJ
from "Three Men in A Boat",
are now almost three weeks old. On the newborn picture in the Update below they
are from left to right
George, Harris and JJ, and these are today's snapshots of their heads.
Airescot George
Airescot Harris
Airescot JJ
UPDATE 24 July 2006
Yesterday "Frida" gave birth to three male
puppies, as expected all solid red with white trim.
For more information on the litter see Update below.
UPDATE 6 July 2006
"Taksi's" litter sister
"Frida", Collooney Dancing Queen, has been bred to
Skräddaregårdens Spicey Lion. She declares herself in whelp
and her litter is expected at the Airescots mid July.
Both parents-to-be have been shown only a few times
but their pedigrees contain some of the very best Whippets
and they both have lovely size and temperament.

UPDATE 14 January 2006
January 12
"Taksi" gave birth to her first litter, announced below
when on its way.

UPDATE 21 December 2005
Pedigree of litter expected mid January 2006
by Sportingfield B & W Airescot, "Beo"
ex. Ch Collooney Winner Takes It All, "Taksi"
Both pictures below were taken by Lisa Johansson
We are very excited about this litter as "Beo"
brings in some new blood and new colours
at the same time as "Taksi" adds new blood through her lovely dam.
"Taksi" is one of our favourites both for looks and character.
"Beo" is an extremely sweet and friendly male with so many good points, which we
hope
will add something extra to what we already are lucky enough to have in our
breeding.
******************************
UPDATE 29 September 2005
We have now finally decided to keep, in co-ownership with Allette
Boos, Allette Whippets,

Yesterday, 15 June, Wanda gave birth to her much awaited
litter by Kinsman.
A little disappointing that there were no girls, but there are five lovely boys,
four of them with colour and markings similar to their sire, one dark brindle
with white.
Below is a snapshot of the new born with their affectionate mother.

UPDATE 24 May 2005
Wanda has now declared herself in whelp to Ch Sporting
Fields Kinsman.
In the Updates below you can read all about this exciting hoped-for litter,
which is expected medio June.
UPDATE 23 April 2005
More pictures of Kinsman have arrived - look at them under the Update below.
UPDATE 19 April 2005
Five years ago George Kostopoulus, brought his
bitch Ch Allsatin Greta Garbo
(Ch Airescot Cembalo ex. Silkstone Olivia) all the way from Greece to Sweden
to have her bred to Multi
Ch Statuesque Extortion.
From this litter we imported the bitch Allsatin Swedish Love Affair, "Wanda".
After her six months in private quarantine in Finland she has been living with
and loved by Marie Jarl in Sweden.
Wanda is a very lovely bitch but has been shown only a few times.
17 April "Wanda" was bred to US Can Ch Sporting Fields Kinsman by means of A.I.
from frozen semen,
which we have kept in the Norwegian KC Semen Bank since the early 90's.
"Luke", as he was called, was born in February 1989 and was one of the great
Sporting Field Whippets.
I saw him win BIS at the Whippet National Specialty in America in 1991, only two
years old.
He later won more than 50 All Breeds BIS in America and Canada and has sired
many champions.
He was Debbie's
favourite house dog
and has been greatly missed since he died only a couple of years ago.
Below is a picture showing a young Debbie Butt, a young Magnus Hagstedt
and a very young Kinsman. The picture was taken by Alex Smith in Canada in 1990,
when Magnus was probably one of the first to give Kinsman a BOB-win. Kinsman was
then only just over a year old,
but, as you can see, he had already aquired his superior attitude in the ring.
If anyone of you out there has a more mature picture of Kinsman, which I would
be allowed to use on this website,
please mail it to me: nenne.runsten@telia.com.
From Michael Dennison, Poseidon Whippets, Canada, through Beth Blough in the
US
we just received these four pictures of Kinsman. Thank you!
Luke in front of a painting of his famous grandsire
Ch Sporting Fields Clansma
From Debbie Butt we have received this especially charming picture from
Ontario Sighthound Association, Canada,
with Debbie winning BIS with Luke, and Debbie's daughter Amanda winning BIS
Puppy
with "Rory", Ch Sportingfields Jazz Fest. This must have happened in 1995, as
Jazz Fest was born in August -94.
Now, ten years later, Amanda is a beautiful young lady and still an excellent
handler, just like her mother.
Thank you, Debbie!

it was impossible for us to take her to Finland. We look forward to better
timing fór her next litter.
