Apart from not being a lady, it said "a" bacon butty. Not 6or 7. :- "

I dont think many Whippet people bait at all, so not sure if Zolan thinks a Whippet person does it on purpose or other breeds.
Ive never seen anyone in Whippets chucking it about to distract others.  More of a worry (or bonus ) is people eating around the ring, crisps and things :unsure:

There are the odd few who do bait there whippets and I'm sure we've all seen it happen I have on a couple of occasions had a person next to me who offer a tit bit in the ring but like Dawn you avoid standing next to them I don't think it's done on purpose but is is distracting for a dog who is not baited in the ring.

I agree Karen you do not see whippet people chucking stuff about.It worse if you are in the ring after breeds who are baited and there is bits of food lying around the ring. Everyone who has a whippet knows what they are like for food a rustle of a crisp bag the smell of chips and the burger van near the ring can get any whippets nose in the air. Like you say this can sometimes be a bonus or it can be a worry especially if they are greedy little devils like mine. :alien:

:unsure: Please could somebody give we obviously deprived Aussie folk a description of what a Bacon Butty is?

:angry: I don't think we have them over here and just need to know what we're missing out on.

It might be like the Green Cake (something to put on my list) :teehee: .... :- "

Today at the show we huge pieces of pavolova with fresh friut salad & fresh cream......YUM! :thumbsup:

At least it doesn't upset the dogs in the ring.

Whipowill, it's a sanga with bacon in it. :thumbsup:

I don't know who the lady was & it certainly wasn't intentional.I was just a bit unfortunate that i hadn't noticed her before Flyn did (w00t) ,by which time i couldn't move him out of the way as we were in the line up

 

[dawn]

I am sure no-one in whippets would deliberately use baiting to spatch somone elses chances.

I am not so sure when it gets to BIS or even variety classes.

 

[Jan Doherty]

Nope theres much better ways of winning otherthan putting other peoples dogs off with baiting

How about standing your dog very close to the one next to you and then standing between the two dogs with your backside in the other dogs face (happens a lot in Toys)

Or waiting until everyone else has stood their dogs and moving yours two feet forward in front of line.

Or rushing in at the last moment in a stakes class gasping breathlessly that you had to wait for the ticket to be judged before you could get away!!!!!!!!!

Im sure people could think some other ploys that are tried and tested. o

My favourite one (NOT) was at a Match Night. And it was soo deliberate. We were in the final 3 for the Best in Match. The lady behind me had a Cav, and was free standing it in such a way that she (the lady, not the dog) walked up onto Savvy's hind legs. The judge had us go round and I purposely put 2 feet or more between us yet somehow this lady still managed to walk onto Savvy's hind legs. We got the last laugh though as we got Best in Match anyway!

But I was really unhappy with that kind of sportsmanship esp at such a low level. It was completely unnessecary

Told you it was a Toy thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Karen]

The problem is, for some people there is no level too low!

ROFL - to compete at unfairly or to sink to in general???

Many years ago I had a tri-colour rough collie. Only being used to showing a whippet I had to learn a different way of handling. I had a few biscuits in my pocket and Sam (the collie) paid little attention but still won Minor Puppy.

I was both shocked and delighted with my win. When I came out of the ring I was congratulated by a real collie specialist who gave me a piece of liver and advised me on how to get Sam to be a bit more attentive and therefore look better. In we went to challenge for Best Puppy, Sam, me and the piece of liver. All was going well until Sam decided he could wait no longer for his treat, he dived for the liver missed and caught my finger, It really, really hurt, apparently it's not the done thing to scream in pain when challenging for Best Puppy, which went to a beautiful

Blue Merle BTW. I've still got the scar on my finger, Sam lived a wonderful life

being a cushion for his family of whippets and I never took a piece of liver into a showring again !!!

LOL that made me smile....... sounds like a true Rough Collie :lol: :lol: :lol:

I started the oppersite way from you, Collies first, then whippets; And even though I still show both, whippets are the far easier of the two breeds :thumbsup: :wub:

 

[silas]

What about the people who sit next to the whippet ring with a squeaker in their pocket. Not sure whether they're trying to make one look alert or put the others off. Tried to see who it was while watching one class but couldn't pin down the culprit.
