His first ever time at seeing a lure.., and Joe just lost out by a nose! Can't wait for the next meeting, have started the boys on a strict diet and exersize regime!! Watch out all you seasoned winners, the newbies are aiming to win (w00t) the silver!

Big thanks to all the crew, see you next time J & G

Cohen, competition is very healthy. Glad you both enjoyed the show. As newbies, If you get as much enjoyment out of the shows and your Whippets as we have got over the last 9 years, then live is heaven upon earth. We are golden oldies now, and in the sunset years of our lifes let it be long or short, we continue to get so much joy from our beautiful Whippets. Our Kanine family consists of 3 pedigree whippets, 1 non ped, 2 lurchers, 2 jack russels, a yorkie and a chichuhua called Blossom. They all have there own mannerisms, but we love each one the same. Life would not be worth living without them. Looking forward to the next show.
