Check out these pictures taken recently by Rey McGehee. http://personal.palouse.net/valeska/wy-oct-04.html http://personal.palouse.net/valeska/wy-oct-04-2.html Shirley Basinn is short sage brush at 7000 feet above sea level. The hare population, whitetailed jackrabbit, seems to be up this...

I'm no colour expert, but isn't it possible for a dog that actually looks black can infact be geneticaal brindle? I do know that the three Besaps dogs exported to Canada were blacks as far as I could tell.

It's also true that descendants of Andy Thor have been imported into the USA, mostly through a dog called John Henry Von Rhuen Meer and are now well established on the racing scene. More European dogs have come into the States in recent years with various degrees of success. I'm not exactly...

Excellent figures! Your supposition that racing champ. sire to racing champ dam produces a higher percentage of racing champs is born out in the Greyhound racing industry in the US. A solid grade A bitch bred to a major stakes winning dog is more than likely to produce a winning litter. The...

>I'm not opposed to new blood, as long as the dogs have gone through quarantine. What quarantine is that. From the USA it takes a rabies shot and a blood test at six months. Did the UK re instate quarantine? >Thus I can see no advantage to having oversized, overseas dogs imported for...

The German dog Zorneagles Fernando won the top flight race and was almost one second faster over 350m than it's nearest rival. Fernando is also a top winner in the rest of Europe but not every time and by such a large margin. BTW it would not get a passport under WCRA rules ;) Oh well!!

Yep! Your right. ALL dogs must be wicketed before they can race on the straight. The limit is 22 1/2" which as I have explained previously is due to one kennel back in the 1930's. I wish it was 20" but it isn't and is not going to change. That's not to say all dogs are 22 1/2 bitches 21'...

Yep. Give it a pound or two of steak!!! Just kidding :D I'm in enough trouble with the use of "Weedy" All I can say is that the dogs I saw five or six years ago were weedy and several people involved in pedigree racing at the time agreed with me. Whether US dogs will race in the UK is a...

I have a son lives near Manchester. Next time I visit I'll slip Rupert in the baggage! Rupert is a pain in the you know where. He's ruined two pairs of shoe laces. :rant: It's so difficult to walk with him hanging on to my jeans leg.

From what I remember she weighed between the 22-26 lbs. range. Not less than 22 for sure. She was taller than she looks in the pictures which I admit are not good ones. I thought another pound or two of muscle would have done her good and might even have increased her speed beyond the extra...

>T Lewis's post (wag the dog) wandered off topic a bit, but brought up some >interesting observations, which I'd like to air here. Well know that I have been admonished by Ian for getting off topic I'll try and get back on track! >One of which was the opinion of some that whippets in the UK...

Here! You pick her out!

Lyth Moleskin (Rupert)

Rupert again. Reminds me of Poet's dad as a puppy.

I stated earlier in one of my posts that CWA was largely irrelevant in US whippet racing. It seems quite possible that CWA may cease to exist sooner if not later. This last weekend they held a race meet and were only able to attract a ten dog entry. As far as I can tell, these belonged to...

Very much. I told you not to put Poet through the washing machine so often. He's lost his blackness!! :angry:

A sweet Deil this morning.
