Key Attributes -
Int.Fin.Nor.Swed.Dk.Ch. Avalonia Glen Scotia (Muffy)
- Muffy represents a blend we at Avalonia have come to know from our previous litters really works: take one very good tightly
linebred Nevedith bloodline found in dogs such as Cdn.Ch. Nevedith Local Lancer and mix it with a well-bred Sporting Fields
Kinsman daughter/granddaughter. The result? Whole litters of outstanding puppies such as Muffy.
- Already one of the top show whippets in Finland, Muffy belongs to Jarmo Vuorinen (Scheiks), who picked her out of a set of
photos of her litter when she was 8 weeks old. She moved to Finland in the late Fall of 1999 and made her show debut in early
2000.
- Since then Muffy has truly made her mark. Her wins have come in large entries under esteemed judges from around the world:
Morag Bolton-Lockhart and Pamela Marston-Pollock of Great Britain, Denise Humphries and Glenda Cook both Australians who
awarded her CACs, Birgitta Svaarstad and Annika Ulltveit-Moe of Sweden, George Kostopolous of Greece, Petter Fodstad of
Norway, Pirjo Jutila, Finland, Nenne Runsten of Sweden, a CACIB and BOS at the Helsinki Int. Finnish Winner Show in December
2000 under Jose Homem de Mello of Portugal, and, on 18 March 2001, her final CAC, Fin.Ch., CACIB and BOB at the Tampere
International Show under Terry Thorn of England. Muffy ended 2000 as Top Junior Bitch in Finland in 2000, as well as number 3
bitch overall.
- In 2001 Muffy was shown on a limited basis but her wins were equally impressive. She was Best Bitch and BOS at the Finnish
Sighthound Clubs Specialty in Tampere in June under Danish judge Ms. Annette Burstrup, and BOB, BIG1, at the National Show in
Hameenlinna under Mrs. Gertie van Mudder Gellicum of South Africa. She then went on to BIS-4 under Andrew Brace of Great
Britain. At the Nordic Winner Show in Tuusula, Finland, Muffy was BOB and won the CACIB, under Mr. Rainer Vuorinen of Finland,
becoming Nordic Winner 01 in the process. Muffy also Crufts qualified, one of only two Finnish whippets to do so in 2001, and she
finished the year as number 4 whippet bitch in Finland, despite her limited showing.
- Now a fully mature 3-year-old, 2002 has been her most impressive show season to date. At the international show in Lahti, Muffy
was Best Bitch 1st, with CACIB and BOS. In May 2002 she traveled to Norway and the Kristiansand International Show where she
was BOB, won the CAC and CACIB, collected her Norwegian title and was also BIG-1 under Mrs. Eli-Marie Klepp of Norway.
- On June 9th 2002 Muffy was BOB at the Finnish Sighthound Club annual specialty at Hyvinkaa under Mr. Magnus Hagstedt. A week
later Muffy traveled to Malmo, Sweden where on 15 June 2002 she was BOB with Swedish CAC and CACIB, under Mrs. Liliane de
Rigger-Onghena of Belgium, thus earning both her International and Swedish titles. Later in the afternoon she was placed Group 4
under Mr. Carlos Saevich. The next day, on June 16, Muffy was exhibited in Copenhagen, Denmark where she was again BOB with
CAC and CACIB under Mr. Luis Pinto Teixeira from Portugal, and later BIG-2 under Mrs. Zafra Sirik from Israel.
- Muffy is now the most awarded Avalonia whippet ever. She is now Int. Fin.Nor.Swed.Dk.Ch. Finnish Winner-00, Nordic Winner-01
Avalonia Glen Scotia. Avalonia owes a considerable debt of gratitude to Muffy’s owner, Jarmo Vuorinen, for believing so much in
Muffy that he has taken her to the top of her potential in such outstanding fashion.
