For a long time expected
Crosscop, England · since October 2021
In October 2021, we welcomed Nellie, a female puppy from England whom we had long awaited and reserved. She was bred by Crosscop, the 2019 Breeder of the Year for all of England and recipients of numerous prestigious titles in recognition of their efforts and long-standing dedication to breeding Whippets.
Their female dog, Nothing Compares to You at Crosscop, won the Crufts Winner 2016 title and also Reserve Best in Show at Crufts 2016—she was the second-best dog at the entire show, which featured around 26,000 dogs!
Nellie was well-mannered, friendly, and full of sweetness and fearlessness when she first saw us. She already responded to the name Nellie, having been accustomed to it in her hometown of Middlebie. She arrived with her brother Alfie—also an adorable Whippet with a pleasant and mischievous personality.
Leigh Moris, George Waddell, and Steph Marston Pollack—we were deeply grateful for their expertise and knowledge. Nellie was chosen from among three Whippet litters of that period. Brexit caused us quite a few headaches and added costs regarding the import—but it was worth every bit of effort. Missy and Cindy welcomed her with open hearts, as is typical of Whippets.
