We, at Forgetmenot, are very proud to have discovered "Ketil" as a young dog while surfing on the internet, on a cold evening of November in 2007. His picture (and amazing pedigree) made our heart flip.... That's where the adventure all began....

Bo Bengtson (American Whippet Club Newsletter 2009) "In my opinion, one of Wolf Tone Viking's most impressive sons is the Polish-born Ch. Tylko Ty Viking's Pride, who won three majors during his visits in the U.S. (including 5 points BOW and BOS over specials under me): very much his father's son in most respects and apparently destined to have a big influence as a international sire also."

Ketil is now back to his home in Poland.

Picture below: Ketil and I lounging in a hotel somewhere in the USA during one of his numerous trips to American shows in the spring of 2008.

Picture below: This picture was taken about 2 minutes after Ketil winning Winners Dog at the Canadian Whippet National in June 2008, giving him the last points to obtain his Canadian championship title... and this only 2 days before returning to Poland!!!!! Let me tell you: we were very happy! This could have never happened without the support of my great friends: Jodi Allward (Winterbourne Afghans and Whippets) and Kim Pritchard (Cariad Whippets).... Thank you girls!!!
