How important an issue is breeding in "non-ped racing" some dogs in the past have carried 7/8s G/hnd & been classed as whippets. As for lurchers breeding can go anyway, lot's of the Saluki "crosses" look near as dammit full Saluki's. It's dog's running on football fields after rags & string ffs...

Heart of England race at Shuttington just outside Tamworth at least they did last year. Nice friendly club club with helpful members. They have a forum under ped racing clubs with contact details.

Thnk's for the info. Had a chat with the KC this morning & they were very helpful & are sending me a few information packs. Thank's once again Terry Smith

Just wondered if the KC has lightened up on it's rules about staging shows. I seem to remember there were pretty tight rules about showing KC reg dog's.

It's the same thing John. Good medical treatment, surgery can help if performed early enough. Laser treatment etc if you are too late. It doesn't look too bad. One of ours had a tremendous amount of discolouration all his leg was black he lost about a yard. One of our others was completely...

Is this one just for lurchers?

[ Would have loved to come if we lived a bit nearer - long long time since we've been to Westhoughton :( We've really missed you.

Seriously though, its nothing personal, we have a policy of not lowering anyone's warn levels for that reason. Why else would anyone want it lowered ;) And what would have been the point in giving it in the first place if we did? Also, Midlander Keith's 90% warn has nothing to do with free...

They don't!! The people who breed 'em & tout 'em like to say they are different but they ain't. Some dogs have an aptitude to work some don't & they can come from any breeding. A dog doesn't have to be that fast to pick a flushed rabbit up, a lamped rabbit is a different matter but you still...

So sorry to hear this John. We didn't know you were facing this problem, what a start to the year. You've always done right by him we're sure you will continue to do the right thing. Good Luck to you both. Terry & Sheila
