You ask why not non pedigree whippets and lurchers? Because there are racing clubs and events for these. And people who run their pedigree whippets do not like to compete with non pedigrees who may well be twice their weight, causing more risk of damage and injury.

Where do our dogs get their experience and train for any lure coursing event , you ask. The answer is "with difficulty". I have trained mine to follow a lure at race meetings with a pedigree whippet racing club, which involves a 70 mile round trip on a Sunday to perhaps get a couple of runs on...

As the Rose family have moved from Rumbling Bridge and no longer have a field suitable, there is no longer any lure coursing there. This Sunday, 22 July there is a lure coursing event at Holyrood Park Edinburgh, no entries on the day, but all welcome to come and watch.

Very Happy birthday to Kobi, you get to look more like your dad all the time! Have a good pee on the daffs, there are plenty of them. Love from Tigger ( he will be 11 this year , and getting a bit rheumaticky, so no more shows)

Happy New Year to you and yours Liz...hope you are all well xx

Happy Birthday Meloody, have a super day, from your half brother Rowan who was 2 yesterday.

Happy Birthday Toddy! May you catch lots of lures! Liz and all the Bruntsfields

Oh she is beautiful! So glad you have got your lovely black at last, Liz

Many thanks to all who put on such a super day, and even organised great weather! Well done to all who won prizes, they all ran so well.

Well done to Indi , a well deserved win for a super new champion! Well done to all the others as well, and a little brag for Tigger, Ch Bruntsfield Playaway , who won the Veteran stakes, making a super day for Bruntsfield, not in the Collooney league, but still a great day for us. Many thanks...

Aahh!! That Cilla-she is Gorgeous!! I love her to bits.

Has he access to outside from the kitchen, why not use a dog flap so that he can run around an outside area, maybe a smallish area around the back door as a dog run would work, I used to do this when I was working.
