2006 American Whippet Club Willow Award

Snickers and TAJA

“It is wonderful to know that the magic continues throughout our country in the work of so many wonderful whippets and their humans. In the past the award has gone to just one team. However, this year it seems impossible to separate Snickers and her daughter TAJA, owned by Rhonda Gold and Michael Small. You are carrying on Willow’s spirit in the wonderful work that you are doing each week.”
