We have had two litters here at Dyno-Mutt. The first one was the Sailing Litter, which was whelped Memorial Day weekend, 26 May 2002. Those pups exceeded our expectations beyond our wildest dreams with two Eukanuba invitees, Dash & Jib; two dual champions, Javelin & Jib; two top ten conformation hounds, Dash & Jib; two "top ten" lure coursing hounds, Jav & Jib; four breed ring champions: Jib, Dash, Bugsy, and Javelin; and six outstanding pets & companions: Slate, Jetty, Jib, Dash, Bugsy, and Javelin. The sire of the Sailing Litter was DC & Can Ch Lakilanni Scatpak Barracuda CanFChX LCM SRM ORM SC CGC aka "Cuda" and the dam was Ch El-Aur Summer Breeze SC, FCh aka "Feather".

Our 2nd litter was born on 14 June 2007, which is Flag Day here in the USA. It's so hard to believe that these guys are now 5 years old. I still see them as young & vibrant. The sire of the litter was Dash (Ch DM Dots N' Dashes) and their dam was FCh Abbey Lou FCh. Abbey was a racing bitch that I bought from her owner & breeder. I saw a picture of her on the internet and just had to have her. Abbey is now 11 years old and still going strong. She was the best momma dog! To this day, she still grooms her puppies nightly.

Abbey & Pups - 2-3 wks Old |
Abbey's pups are: Banner, Chispa, Banner, Nampa, and Glory. They were big & healthy puppies! What's a "big" greyhound puppy? Well, the boys in the litter all weighed 24 ounces (1.5 pounds) and the girls were 20 ounces (1.25 pounds)! They were huge and looked like they were a week old! Thankfully, they did not turn into 100 pound greyhounds but they are still sizable dogs as Nampa weighs in at around 90 pounds & Banner at around 85 pounds. Their sister, Glory, usually weighs around 70 to 75 pounds.
The pups registered names are:
DC DM Star Spangled Banner FCh SOR ORC - Banner
DC DM Flag of Our Fathers FCh JOR - Nampa
DC DM Jolie Noire FCh JOR - Glory
