Whee is... well, Whee! Her name was supposed to be Lotto, but she refused to respond to anything other than "Wheeee puppy!" and so she became The Whee.

Whee has 9 AKC CH points, is a UKC Champion, and is a UKC multiple group winner and placer. She will be spayed this summer.

She has qualified for the IGCA Versatility Master Certificate in less than a year of trialing/showing. Whee has qualified for 2 Total Dog Awards through the UKC. In January of 2006, she took 4 Group Placements, qualified in all of her agility runs, and picked up a U-CD leg with a 2nd place -- all over the span of 2 days!


 

  

 

Whee enjoys agility. As you can see, she really, really enjoys jumping!! My biggest worry was that she'd jump over the automatic timers and the clock would keep running! Whee has an AXJ leg, and a few legs towards her Novice Preferred titles. Unfortunately, her eye condition prohibits active trialing due to lighting situations, which in turn effects her speed. We'll keep with Preferred or CPE trials to let her have fun.

Obedience is Whee's big love. She is a heelin' fool. Whee's working on her U-CDX right now, and will hopefully be out this summer in Open when the trials start up again.

Eye Condition

Whee was diagnosed with Vitreous degeneration anterior chamber, both eyes, with the left being the worse. This is a serious condition for Whee, as it deeply effects her vision and her daily life. Sunlight, bright light, and florescent lighting cause Whee much pain. She is unable to do agility to her fullest ability as she cannot run in and out of the tunnel without losing her ability to see. Her vision problems were amplified due to the preventative drops she is on.

Also, she cannot continue to do agility or lure course/race because the adrenaline associated with prey drive / working mode creates a massive amount of pressure within the eye itself, causing severe pain and bloodshod eyes.

Whee goes to see a veterinary opthamologist 2 times a year to check on the status of her eyes. Due to the quality of care, Whee's eyes have been delayed in progressing further. We are very grateful for the wonderful doctors and staff at the clinic, as they keep Whee as healthy as possible.

3.5 years old - was listed as PRA suspected due to a very reflective retina.
4.5 years old - there was no change.
5.5 years old - there was no change.

Whee is on demicarium bromide and neopolydex to keep her pupil constricted and to keep the inflammation down to prevent luxation of the lens, respectively.

Whee is not registered with CERF as she is PRA suspected and would not receive a number.
