Javelin aka Jav aka JavvyJust a quick note... Javelin's registered name above isn't quite right. It needed to be shortened in the banner due to size. Her full registered name is Dual Ch DM Summer Squall of Scatpak SC, FCh. We hope to add even more letters, the letters LCM, behind her Javelin is a hoot! She is always into something and it is usually trouble! In keeping with a 'sailing' theme, Javelin was supposed to be named "DM Wake of the Red Witch" from an old novel & John Wayne movie. However, Javelin earned her name, Summer Squall, the day she was born. She was the first pup to be born and she came out squallin'! I remember holding up this small, 10 ounce puppy who was a hollerin' and I declared, "This one is Summer Squall." She's been like a whirlwind or squall line, quickly moving through ever since. And, in living up to her name, here she is in blue sprinting off of the line in the Field Champions' stake with one of Cashel Farms greyhounds, Leica in pink, and her half-sibling (sire side), Daytona, in Yellow. Lure coursing out here in the Western US is highly competitive and Javelin is one that can run with the best of them! Javelin was bred by Dyno-Mutt and this little red dynamo is proudly co-owned with us by Windrock. Jav came home to New Mexico for a bit after the 2007 Grand National. Kim and Colin sadly bid her g This past June, I took Jav to the Colorado Springs Kennel Club shows to try for that elusive second major and also for the Fritzlers to see. Javelin, after seeing Kim and Colin kept looking for them. She really wanted to go back home to Grand Junction with them, so, after the shows, I hugged her and handed Colin the leash, saying, "Take her, she knows where she wants to live" . . . It was a very emotional moment. I miss her dearly but I couldn't keep her here, knowing how much Kim called me when they got home and told me that Javelin moved right back in and it was like she was never gone. Jav's a little busybody, like her sister. I've been told that she tells the calves to eat all their food and keeps the pups in line and out of the irrigation ditch. Javelin keeps an eye on things for the Fritzlers and they are glad she's back home! In 2009, Javelin became a mom. She had a single puppy, a daughter, which is named Windrock DM The One and Only aka Nikki. Nikki just participated in her first lure course the weekend of Sept 18, 2010, and it's my understanding that she is following in her dam's paw prints. To know more of Nikki, please visit the Windrock website. |
