Any-one Else Going Lure-coursing At Newbury

[Rae]

Well Jo is being very bashfull cos if it were my dog I'd be braggin that:

[SIZE=21pt]ARCHIE WON HIS CLASS !!![/SIZE]

And it was their first time

Team 'Fawn whoppet' did us proud

I think that the over all winnign whippet got a scorein the low 80's, and I'll let Jo tell you what Archies score was :thumbsup:

It was great to meet Dessie & Mille, and some of their lovely dogs. TJ was very noticeable by his collar

It suprised me how different it was to racing, and how many rescues were there.

Well done to Archie, Jo & Lloyd. You really deserved to win yesterday. As I said, thinking back to the first hill sprint and what a different dog Archie is now - credit to you.

Congrats and well done to Archie! :cheers:

Don't know how, but I have missed this thread - which started a couple of days ago!! Don't know how I managed that.

But because I did, I put a post on the coursing site last night but I don't know how to move it to here.

So, once again [SIZE=21pt]Congratulations to Archie and Star[/SIZE] :cheers: :cheers:

Winner and runner up in their class - they were a great team :huggles:

Well done Jo, Rae and families - well deserved

He's busy Dessie! They will be here, watch this space!

Here is Archie's poser picture........he got 79 points on both his runs, Star got 75.5, and I think they are really evenly matched. It is any-body's guess who scores higher next time.I think the top whippet group score was 81.

I'll tell you what Hannah, I am quite impressed looking at him there.......He has shed loads of weight and looks almost proper whippety. BTW, he is freaked out, expecting a bad thing to happen, and put himself in that pose apart from me tilting his chin up! :thumbsup: :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

[Strike Whippets]

He does look very nice there .........Ever thought of showing him ??.......

 

[Lloyd]

I have posted a few pictures here. Not many of whippys yet, bookmark my site for more soon (great pic of Archie and Star)

LOL..........I think my boy, given the choice of bollocks and showing, or no bollocks and chasing a lure might just go for the latter! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Joanna]

I love that 3rd pic...........Is that one of the Borzoi's or an Afghan?

Star and Archie xxxxxxx :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

(In case you think I'm potty, he is at work, I'm at home, first time I've seen them too:blink: )

[Joanna]

Yes it is Digger, Elizabeth. He ran well as always.......He must score top marks for enthusiasm

Thought it was!

I'm glad I didn't run ours actually, the vet found the torn muscle in his groin today. Although he seems to be walking normally, he'll be off the track and anywhere near bunnies for a couple of weeks :'(
