Darn van wouldn't start, it objected to the cold and had a flat battery :angry: Will have to make it over there next week as it's too late now (1hr drive) :( Thanks for the info about the coat maker, i'll order one from them so they can measure her and it'll fit :D

You'll see me, i'll be the one standing around with a black bitch with white chest, shivering as the new coat i ordered for her finally arrived after almost a 3 month wait and it doesn't fit Grrrrrr :angry: I'll bring the coat (burgundy) to see if it fits anyone elses dog as i can't return...

Thanks Pam, i'll be at Old Hall tomorrow with Fly if it's on? Can't remember the start time as been ages since i last went buit i'm aiming to be there around 9.30 ;)

After registering i just edited my contact details in my account to show a phone number and part of my postcode (just deleted last 2 letters) so people can get an idea of distance to travel when they view my ad and can call for details as messages often dont get through, they can't get my...

The bitch i have is 23tts and 32lbs, i wouldn't want anything bigger if possible. I do love the little whippies :thumbsup: I would mainly be running at Old Hall but wouldn't like to rule out anything else (i show poodles so can't be as stressful/expensive as that lol). My current bitch can...

Hi everyone. Well as the title says really. I have an unregistered non-ped and i'd like another to race. We live in Birmingham and i'd like a bitch pup that i can race properly as my current dog can only go for fun. I would be taking her to Old Hall and would like to keep in touch with her...

Fly also says thanks for the compliments everyone :thumbsup:

She's definately a "non ped" whippet. Will be having some fun with her at Old Hall. After asking on the other topic about breeding & non peds i've found out i can't register her with any racing clubs because her parents were workers not racers so not registered themselves (hence my thread...

Oh she can certainly motor, we just need to figure out the steering & brakes :lol:

Thanks. Should be there next weekend all being well :thumbsup:

If this works i should have some pics of my whippet that isn't, I've just been asking questions about BWRA registration and gather without registered parents or pedigree she isn't classed as a whippet. What do you guys think? Fly is 9 months old, 22tts & 37lbs

That would be brilliant thanks :thumbsup: I am right next to junction 6, M42 or junction 4A, M6 if you go up the motorway. Lol it's been that long since i got there i couldn't remember what day it was on (w00t) Last time i went was in April but we've since lost the use of the car, i got a...

It's a long shot i know, but i was wondering if anyone is near the NEC (Birmingham) that goes to Old Hall on a Saturday and would like to share transport? I only have 1 dog (+ me) and she is well behaved but i struggle for transport as my van is unreliable. I would be happy to contribute to...

I'm finding all this very interesting for a newbie starting out. Apologies if this idea isn't workable or has been covered before but.................. Couldn't the BWRA set up a panel of people capable of assesing dogs for acceptance? What i mean is that they could physically go over a dog...

Thanks again Gary :thumbsup: The litter is due this weekend and i've been offered a pup which is why i asked. Whippet isn't a show pony, he's a working (coursing) dog. Greyhound is daughter to a Scottish Derby winner but the owner wont let her on the track. I might be tempted to give it a go...

Thanks Gary for explaining, most of it makes sense to me lol. How would you get on with a KC reg whippet over a Greyhound? I'm pretty sure this would be considered a straight 50/50 but would a pup from this litter be able to register & race BWRA? Also neither parent is BWRA registered, does...

Oh i'm positive the parents weren't registered as they were working dogs only. The pups were intended workers as well. I was just told by someone that she maybe eligable for registration as a non ped because she is of that breeding. (I also have pics of both parents) to prove. As it's an 80...

Oops double post :b

All i was told is Mom is half cross, dad was 3/4 X 1/4. The guy i got her from just wanted rid as she was the last pup left. Didn't give me any more info than that, was all done in a rush as he was about to have her PTS because he needed the space :angry: The best snap decission i've ever...

Well everyone who has met my Fly says she's a whippet and as that included all those at Old Hall (they should know) then i'm going to look into registering her. Still think it wont be that easy as i have no bloodlines or breeding history for her but i'll try my best. I can always call on her...
