Had a great day today meeting up with all our whippet, lurcher and terrier friends and also had some success at the whippet showing and racing!Congratulations to all the winners, sorry don't have all the names. Here's a pic of me with Renoir who won the overall whippet show champion, and Janet with Vixen who won the whippet racing. Thanks to the NL&RC for the beautiful rosettes and trophies.

am surprised to see a message from Urchin. I believe she has a whippet Digit who is a half-brother of one of my dogs (and Keith's Jill also has the same sire as our dogs). I was off to Scotland, racing only one dog. He wasn't the biggest dog running, but they do have a strict 21" height limit in ped whip racing, and many whippets were so tiny they looked like a different breed (or variety anyway). My dog won the cons semifinal, but was only 3rd in the final after making a poor start and gamely trying to catch up -- probably would do better if he had more practice with the traps. Seems you had a good weekend at Ballywalter; we had a good weekend at Kincardine too.

Hi Macha - you have a good memory, I do indeed have Digit!

Sadly he wasn't at Ballywalter with me as we were only over for the weekend.....but hopefully we'll have a big enough car to bring all the dogs with us soon.

I'll PM you next time we are coming over for a game fair (could be Shanes Castle???) and we'll see if we can meet up and if you're you're over for any in England let me know!
