Silkdance Highland Affair
My foundation bitch, beautiful Ceilidh placed at Crufts every year between 2004 and 2007 inclusive.
At Crufts 2007 she won the Racing/Coursing Bitch class and gained a VHC in the Undergraduate Bitch class of 23.
Not just a very pretty face but a sporting whippet as well, winning several stakes in her short coursing career.
I was given Ceilidh in June 2003 by her breeder, Catriona Price of Silkdance whippets, after the tragic death of Shuleah Scheherazade in a road accident for which I still blame myself.
On the first night she escaped through a kitchen window and went on the run for nine days, eventually ending up in the centre of Macclesfield, eight miles away. When I ‘rescued’ her from the vet where she had been handed in, she appeared to regard me as her saviour, bonded inseparably with me and never again tried to leave.
She is an accomplished thief, a skill doubtless honed during her days on the street.
Ceilidh has given me three gorgeous litters, the last sired by Barmoll Beekeeper to Whipowil
on 5th March 2009.

Ceilidh was put to sleep aged 14 on 3rd August 2015 after developing mammary tumours. She lives on through her progeny. Run free my little one.
