A TRIBUTE TO ... ... MISS WHOOPI VAN DE MOLEN DE HOOP ...

"Miss Whoopi "

07-05-1994 12-08-2002

Now there is a big silence
Silence covered by grief
Whether you did or didn't known her
It hurts very deep

She will never walk around
Whoopi is gone
At shows she was the best
Proud owners to whom she belong

Now we feel very vulnerable
Even we seem to be strong
The truth hurts
Truth and sadness came along

That pain marks the day
That day turned black
In our heart Whoopi is still alive
Even though we know she will never come back

Diddy Iking

It was with great sadness and a feeling of loss that we heard of the passing away of one of the greatest Bulldog Girls of our times.

We were blessed to met Miss Whoopi and will allways remember her as a great assets and definite influence to our beloved Bulldog Breed.

We will treasure her memories and also her offspring, she left the dog world with a true legacy.

From all her fans in South Africa a fond very and last Good Bye.

Hello Diddy!

First I would like to thank you for a wonderful time here in Denmark.
I understand what a great loss it is for you loosing a bitch like Miss whoopi...it is impossible to describe.
You must know that we really feel with you-and as I promised I would like to paint you an akvarel painting of Whoopi together wiht some words for her - during this last trip.

A lots of love to Whoopi and you- her family and thank you for sharing her with all of us at the shows.

Dear Diddy,

We are all very sad to hear about Miss Whoopi.. It is very sad for you, but it is wonderful that you had the glory and pleasure of owning such a great Bulldog and the memories she left you and the Bulldog world will long be remembered. True greatness is never forgotten and such was Miss Whoopi.

I am privileged to have known Miss Whoopi in the prime years of her life and to have shared so many of her winnings. To me she was the epitome of what a good Bulldog should be. Her endearing personality and her exceptional Bulldog properties will not always be remembered but always referred to as what a "good one" should look like.

On my most recent trip to the recent Netherlands I was heartbroken to see what failing health has done to Miss Whoopi, and you did the right thing in making the decision you did and helped her and accompanied her on her last journey and on to the rainbow bridge, where one day we will all meet again.

It is an honour to own her daughter Little Diddy, and I have no doubt that time will see the tradition of her mother Miss Whoopi carried forward in the new generation.

Sincerely,

Julia van Rooyen.

In memory''Miss Whoopi''

I once remembered I wanted to buy a Bulldog puppy .
There was only one litter that had my interest. It was welped by the best bitch i knew in the continent; ''Miss Whoopi''. Unfortunately it did not work out.
It was not a surprise after I had seen "Miss Whoopi" for the first time that this bitch was going to win a lot of CC`s.
The breeder of " Miss Whoopi" came once to our house to show a young bitch they have just bought. A very sound brindle bitch. I gave this bitch her first CC at the Amsterdam Winnershow. Her daughter " Miss Whoopi " became the topwinning bitch for a great number of years in Holland. Proudly owned and well handled by Mrs. Diddy Iking.
" Miss Whoopi" was a marvellous bitch. Every true English Bulldog fancier would have loved to own her. She was a standard sized bitch with a lovely brick shaped head, with a nice feminine expression. Super in front, shoulders and feet, with good brisket.The right length of back with a good roach back and tail set. Nice barrelled rib. Good angulation in hind quarters and a typical mover. For sure she was one of the best bitches I have ever saw.
It is good to keep her in memory when ever I am judging as the example of the standard of the English Bulldog.
