Zoey, by far, is
probably the most "famous" whippet bred and owned by Eclipse. In 2002 her show
career started at 6-1/2 months old by being awarded RWB at the AWC Eastern
Specialty. She completed her championship before 1 year of age winning two Best
Puppy In Show (one in Canada, one in the US).
In 2003, Zoey along with
new handler Amanda Giles, became a multiple group winner and placer in both the
US and Canada. She won her first All-Breed BIS in Canada, the same day she won
a SBIS at the Whippet Club of Eastern Canada. The following day she was awarded
WB & BOW at the Whippet Club of Canada National Specialty. The 3rd day she won
BOB & Group 2 at the All Hound Assn. of Canada show. All this was from the Open
bitch class over BIS/SBIS Champions. Zoey ended the year 2003 being Canada's
Hound of the Year.
The year 2004 saw Zoey and Amanda at select shows and they amassed the following record and ended the year 5th in All Breed Points and 7th in the Breed Points:

1 - Specialty Award of Merit
29 - BOB

The year 2005 saw Zoey & Amanda win a Group 1 and a Group 2 their first weekend out in January, and the last two weekends of shows in December saw Zoey & Amanda win 7 Group 1 and 3 Best in Shows. Zoey ended the year being Americas #1 Whippet in Breed and All-Breed competition, #3 Hound and #25 amongst all breeds in the country.
