DOB – 4-4-18           Pedigree (courtesy of the whippet archives)

Mark and I live outside of Duluth, MN. We are members of the Duluth Curling Club which is the home the majority of the 2018 men’s Olympic Gold Medal Team. We  know, like and respect these great guys, so this litter is a celebration of curling. 

 

Puppies have temporary names for the time they live with us before joining their new families. The boys in this litter are named for John Shuster and Joe Polo, members of the Olympic team

Juno on Day 62 – the day before having puppies

John Shuster –  led the men’s curling team to Olympic victory in 2018. “Shoostie” is a fawn and white brindle particolor.

 

	Joe Polo is the 5th man on   the team – when needed, he can play any position. Welcome “Polo” – a fawn and white brindle particolor.

The girls – curling terms are gender neutral:

“Button” – when you shoot for the target at the other end of the sheet of ice, the center circle is called the button. “Hitting the button” is a good thing. Notice the button on her head…

	“Golden” is a solid fawn – she will be a golden color as an adult. Gold medals = Golden

 

“Skip” is the captain of the team, calling the shots for the game. She is a solid fawn brindle.

 

	“Piper”  – At large curling events, a bagpiper “pipes” the teams into the arena. When they are finished, the bagpiper is paid with a dram of whisky. Hence “pay the piper” She is a very, very dark fawn brindle.
