Spankee will soon be a Desert Dust Bunny! The Ashcraft family will be adding him to their family in late February and we are thrilled to welcome them into our SaeSi family!

whippet raceSpankee is sired by Mouff out of the Wasso's bitch K.I.A. whom they allowed me to lease for this breeding. The pedigree combines some of my favorite whippets from the ring as well as the track. Spankee is a very loving dog, bullet proof temperament and very willing to do anything asked of him. His race career started late 2009 (both flat track and oval), he averaged B/C on the flat and B on the oval. 

whippetHe started UKC coursing (July 2010) and his first time out resulted in winning multiple Breed Stakes. October 31, 2010 we thought he completed his Coursing Championship at the Gateway Nationals in Gray Summit, Missouri and was the first Whippet to achieve this title, unfortunately he had ran in Mixed Stakes and no one informed me that those runs/points and wins would go toward a DIFFERENT title. Alas, he has retired from coursing with 70 points and 2 wins against competion toward his CCB (Coursing Champion-Breed) and 85 pts and 2 wins against competition toward his CCM (Coursing Champion-Mixed). This was truly disappointing as his feet incurred career ending injuries that last day so he will not complete either title, short 30 points for the CCB and 15 points for his CCM. Regardless, we know without a doubt that he is a whippet in true form with drive, desire and dedication.
