Since I was 3 years old I traveled with her and our dogs to many countries in Europe to Internationals or Europeans Dogs Shows.
 

At the age of 3 and a half, my mother and I visited Switzerland. At the Lod Airport in Israel I suddenly disappeared. my mother was afraid that I will not be found and that the plane will leave. 

She was looking for me everywhere and than she heard from the loudspeaker that a 3 years old is looking for books in a book store. She found me, we got on the airplane and the minute we got off in Switzerland she bought me a cow's bell !
I had to wear it throughout the entire trip, so everyone could hear me...
 

One day, my mother met a friend that once bought a Great Dane from her. To her surprise he carryed in one hand a baby and with the other hand he held a whippet's leash . 

"What is this little dog ?" She asked. 
"I used to see you with the big ones".
He answered that the whippet is the ideal family dog, and that they are charming, sporting and intelligent dogs
"they even get along with our Great Dane".
 

My mother got an idea. In "Rosh Hashana"s Holiday (Jewish New Year) she told me she is going to bring me a surprise. 
"Is it a printer?" I asked. 
"surprise is secret" she smiled. 
When she returned home she said: 
"the printer is too heavy, can you bring it from the car?". I ran to the car and saw through the windows an adorable little whippet puppy.

She was my first whippet.

I gave her the name: Speedy

She was in Kibbutz Ein-Hacoresh, Israel
to the breeder Elad Morag.

Apolo got 1st at the Champion of Champions competition, 
out of 15 different champions from many breeds.
