Casey Kilcullen-Steiner’s brag:

Kenny the whippet went Select Dog at the Hilton Head

Kennel Club Show Saturday (was only entered

Saturday). Actually went to Hilton Head to pick up the

female whippet that was breed for me to be bred to Kenny

when she is old enough. She is soooo tiny at only 7

weeks old. She joins the 4 month old, 70+ lbs. Irish

Wolfhound puppies.
