I was on the phone with a friend when Teddy first stood up straight as a puppy, and I remember saying to my friend, " oh boy, this one is going to be so special". And so he grew up to be one of the most special Silken Windhounds ever born.

Speedster gentlemen Teddy is the lovely brother to Helios and Garibaldi from the Mythos litter. He's co-owned with Terri Campbell of Aigrette Silken Windhounds and Forteviot Scottish Deerhounds , and spends his free time playing with his Silken friends, litter sister Phoenix and his diminutive girlfriend Xerox, and Xerox's two daughters with Dresden , Gemma , and Poppy, As competitive as he is in the field, at home he's incredibly polite and funny.

Teddy is the record holder for the youngest all National points winning SRC ( Straight Racing Champion ) running to his SRC undefeated at 15 months of age, and youngest SRCX ( Straight Racing Chamipion Excellent ) in the breed .

He also was the very first Silken Windhound to achieve the third leg in the Straight Racing Championship, his SRCXII in Jan 09, and was the first SRCXIII in May of 09 and his SRCXIV in Oct of 09 ! Teddy earned his SRCXV in April of 2010, making his National Point total 150, and in 2011 earned his SRCXVI with 184 National Points!

In 2012, the first year Silkens could compete officially in LGRA, Teddy earned his SGRC3! He's currently an SRCXXI in ISWS points!

Teddy's earned all his racing points with just a single #2 placement in his career. He's also the first and only dog to win the National race meet twice, in 2009 and 2011! He is the top racing hound in ISWS history!

Teddy's running to poke me with his nose!

Gentleman Teddy has inherited his Mother Sheba's power, and sense of direction, and his Father Connor's speed, but luckily not Connor's unique running patterns. He's also inherited his Father Connor and HIS Father Fox's famous "pokey nose ". You never know when the pokey nose is coming, just that when you live with a dog with the pokey nose gene, nose poking is inevitable.

In November of 08, was also part of the very first official oval track race for the breed in our brand new oval track program. He emerged the winner, with 21 meet points, 3 Nat'l (NOTRC) & 3 Ch (OTRC) points and one leg each on the intermediate titles of SJOR and SSOR ! He completed his SJOR in 09, and emerged the #1 oval track Silken in the breed.

Teddy had his first beach outing while on vacation with us in 2011, and had a blast charging up and down the cliffs and beach, and took his first dip in the Pacific! He tried to convince me we needed to take home a Pug pal he made fast friends with, but we assured him we were a fast dog only household, and if he really needed his own personal Pug, he'd have to talk to his Mom Terri when she got back home from her European trip!

Teddy won the very first ISWS Open Field Coursing event in 2010 under judge Sally Barron, and was second in the very next ISWS OFC event under Bob Bulman!

I've been incredibly honored to have bred a dog like Teddy, and he really embodies my goals for breeding, an all around hound, good at all sighthound sports, and a dream to live with!

Teddy and Helios on one of the hills at Talisman

Teddy and his brother Helios are good friends, seeing each other at comptitions and socially regularly. They share many traits in common, speedy hobbies, enthusiasm for off leash hikes, and a love of chicken, though Helios appears to not have gotten the pokey nose.

Teddy at 7. 2 weeks

Teddy also easily finished his NAKC International Championship his first few months showing, and finished his ISWS Ch in 2010 at the Western Regional Specialty with a WD under judge Annie Chamberlain!
