We are proud to announce the newest QuiXand champions!





QuiXand Feel The Beat RCH SORC
(QuiXand Rocky Mtn HighTone x Vitesse And The Beat Goes On JC))
Watch out for this little girl -- she may look slender and fragile but she is tough as nails on the track. The Jitterbrat finished her RCH in just a handful of meets in very tough Pacific Northwest competition and finished her oval championship with multiple meet wins. She finished her SORC at 22 months of age in just eleven total NOTRA meets and her SORCII just four months later with a win at the 2007 NOTRA National.



QuiXHigh Lightning McQueen RCH
(Spin Doctor SRCH x PDQs Fasterna Speedn Ticket RCh))
Sweet, soft HotRod...moderate in size and build and all business on the track. He finsiehd his RCh in very tough competition at under 16 months.



Oberon Truth Or Consequences RCH
(Vitesse Talk Is Cheap SRCH x Oberon Blaisdell RCh ORC))
RalphEdwards is my silly boy, but silly as he may be, he is also FAST! He and his brother, Zuni, finished their RChs on the same weekend, at just 19 months old. Thanks to Scott Ekblad for co-owning this big, white, baby boy with me!



QuiXand Wild Blue Yonder ORC FCh
(Vitesse A Winter's Tale RCH SORC CC CM x Regalstock Thais FCh SC))
Flyboy is our favorite guy! He always gives the proverbial 110% at everything he does from racing to tricks to being a school visual aid. He finished his ASFA FCh in four trials, including a BIF win which also made him the whippet winner of the PNW Versatility Weekend in 2006. He has his OTRM4 as well as a hard-earned ORC and 8 points toward his RCH. As a reward he was bred to a champion show-bred bitch and produced some cute dual-purpose pups last year.

Valkyrie is a new SRCH!

Four years and two months after completing her RCH, she squeaked out her last two points (she has earned five national points this year).
Lovely and typey, fast and agile, smart and funny, Valkyrie is my pride and joy. She has inherited her father's speed and her mother's heart and a special personality and beauty that is all Valk. A titled meet winner in both NAWRA and NOTRA, number five NAWRA dog for 2002, second place in her only NACA hunt, Valkyrie continues to delight me with her talent and drive. Her pups sired by Kentfield's Neoptolemus SORC SRCH WRCH are running all over the country, three have finished RCHs, two are oval meet winners, two are NOFCA hunt winners, and one was the BOB at the 2006 ASFA II.

Saga is co-owned with Cheryl Winblad and lives in Southern California. She finished her RCH with a couple of strong finishes and topped that off with a second place in a California NAWRA meet, winning the final high point race over her kennelmate, Wendigo.


QuiXand Fallen Angel ORC
(QuiXand Wild Blue Yonder x Lyth Corallitas deQuiXand)
Saphira AKA Fear Factor, co-owned with my son Joel Sanders, finished her ORC at just 17 months old and then started on her RCH, earning her first 2 RCH points in Roy, Washington. She is a sweet girl and we are thrilled with how she is growing up.


QuiXand Pooka RCH
(Vitesse A Winters Tale SORC RCH CC CM x Vitesse And The Beat Goes On JC)
Pooka returned to us after stealing one too many meals off the kitchen table. She misses the eight kids she lived with but she likes racing a great deal. She earned her NAWRA race championship in six months and is also NOTRA pointed.

DERBIN IS A NEW SUPREME RACE CHAMPION!

Derbin, owned by Melanie Olmstead of Salt Lake City, UT and campaigned mainly by yours truly, finished his NAWRA Race Championship at just 19 months of age. He was in the 2004 and 2005 NAWRA Top Ten and placed fourth at the 2004 NAWRA National AND the 2005 NAWRA National AND the 2006 NAWRA National, and was winner of the 2005 Northwest Versatility Weekend which included NAWRA, NOTRA, and ASFA lure coursing

QuiXand Kentfield Crotalus RCH
(Kentfield's Neoptolemus SRCH SORC WRCh x QuiXand On Any Sunday SRCH ORC WRCh)


The second Podliwog to finish a racing title, in just five NAWRA meets, is Crotalus. He followed up his RCH with three oval meet wins and hopes to finish an oval title and then return to the open field this winter where he is also a NOFCA hunt winner.




QuiXand Perstriatus WRCh
(Kentfield's Neoptolemus SRCH SORC WRCh x QuiXand On Any Sunday SRCH ORC WRCh)
NEWT IS THE FIRST PODLIWOG TO FINISH A TITLE!!! Newt finished his WRCh championship title in Illinois a couple of months before his second birthday. He is also an "A" dog in NAWRA and may soon start his NOTRA career. His brothers and sisters are going to be hot on his heels soon! Newt belongs to Linda and Dick Statler.

(Vitesse Otello SORC RCH WRCH x Vitesse Charlotte CC CM)
BRAVO IS NOW A SUPREME OVAL CHAMPION FOR 2006!! Bravo lives with Michael Keating who campaigned him to the number one hound (all breeds!) in NOFCA in 2004, as well as finishing his NOTRA and NAWRA titles, both of his open field championships, and a top ten spot in NOTRA for the past two years. He also won BOS in the 2006 NAWRA National Fun Match under judge Lorna Leinbach! We at QuiXand are proud of the small role we had in Bravo's success and also want to congratulate his breeder, Pat Burlingame.

WENDI IS NOW A SUPREME RACE CHAMPION FOR 2005!!! QuiXhigh Wendigo is co-owned by myself and Cheryl Pauley, she is a WRA, NAWRA and NOTRA meet winner, and is now finished with both her her ORC and her SRCH. Wendigo was BOS in the 2005 NAWRA National and winner of the 2005 WRA National. She is littermate to Rocs, second place in both NAWRA and WRA Nationals 2004 and number one NAWRA dog in 2004.

DEKKER IS NOW A CC and CM FOR 2005! QuiXand Dekker, owned by Kaelyn Silva of Pasadena, CA, Finished his NOFCA CC and CM in 2005. He finished his NAWRA Race Championship with an impressive meet win at NCWC's Iron Dog Weekend. At three years of age Dekker is a third year Grand Course participant. Dekker is moderate in size and build, and has shown himself to be a versatile and talented athlete.

QuiXand Tanstaafl RCH
(Vitesse Can't Stop The Music RCH x Vitesse And The Beat Goes On JC)

QuiXand Tanstaafl, owned by Dave and Sue Burt of Tustin, CA, finished his NAWRA Race Championship on his home track in Orange, CA. well before his second birthday. Always a consistent force, and just coming into his prime, the powerful and talented Buddy is nationaly pointed in NAWRA, has participated successfully in open field coursing and is steadily improving on the oval track and is now ORC pointed. Watch for his children to debut in 2007!






Vitesse Can't Stop The Music RCH
(Mac Tonight RCH x Windyglen's Vitesse Manon ORC CC CM LCM)
My first champion, Coda, racked up 34 national sprint points, a fifth and a second and BOS at the NAWRA nationals, and 14 oval points before his overly competitive, poor sportsmanship did him in. However, as The Red Menace is everyone's father or grandfather (almost) and has given me such delightful offspring as Valkyrie, Buddy, Gromit, and Wyvern, and a legacy of grandchildren like Rocs, Wendigo, Leila and the upcoming Podliwogs and Snafu-ligans, I wouldn't trade my tough, old couchhound in for anything!
