ABOUT US
Lord Henry was born on 12.29.99 in Spokane, WA at the
Hite's Tivio Kennel, the only red/white dog out of a litter
of eight. His pedigree was distinguished: Allerei's Tax
Refund out of Tivio's Impromptu. He was very independent
from the start and you could see he was not destined to
be an ordinary whippet. That has certainly proved to be
the case.
After an inauspicious start in Redmond where he finished
fifth out of five puppies in the ring, He went on to
an AKC sanction match, where he competed for best in
show twice, once with the adult dogs and once with the
puppies(the Irish Setter beat him both times!). Since
then, he has been an active show dog. He finished his
Canadian Championship just a day before he turned thirteen
months. He shows often in Canada, where he is currently
the #1 Whippet in the country, and the #8 Hound. He
has won a Hound Specialty Best in Specialty and two
Best in Shows there. He also has an International Championship
and a Senior Courser title to go along with his American
and Canadian Conformation Championships. Lord Henry
recently competed at the AKC/Eukanuba National Invitational
Championship, in Long Beach, where he won a First Award
of Merit, finishing third to the #1 and #2 Whippets
in the US.
Lord Henry lives with his parents, two cats, and Sanani,
a five year old former Top Twenty Whippet female, with
whom he had a litter of eight red/white puppies on 10/26/03.
He has two human brothers and three human sisters. He
loves to look out his bay window at a downtown park
where dogs and people abound. He also loves to go shopping
with his mother and running with his playmate, an English
Whippet, Sophi. He also has a Schnauzer friend, Murphy,
who lives across the street. Lord Henry regularly visits
Seattle area hospitals where, as a Delta Society Registered
Therapy Dog, he makes rounds on the patients who depend
on him for emotional and therapeutic support. After
a vigorous hour of running nearly every day, LH loves
to just lie and daydream of a world where whippets are
mayors, presidents and run for congress, not to mention
where they are waited on hand and foot by their human
subjects, much like the way it is around here!
