The clip below dates from 1915 and features whippets / whippet racing.
I've only recently discovered the British Pathé website and I love it - spent ages searching dog breeds, horses / ponies and places - but then I like old books / photos etc. :b :)
Old video footage
Oooo, I might give it a go then - I've noticed that there is a show locally. Getting Rupert to stand up for inspection rather than roll over to have his tummy tickled will be the biggest challenge :lol:
What do you have to do? Is it like pedigree showing - ie. stand dog up, move it on a triangle etc? Does the lurcher (or terrier) have to be a worker to be placed up the line?
Ooo, I'm near East Dorset, do you hold any activities down this way or in the Forest? I haven't got whippets though - but I'm sure the small lurcher, and the Beddie would have fun.
