I'd always thought the FCI limit was 510 cm, a tad over 20". I do know some countries have "friendship" racing where oversize dogs can compete with other big ones but don't win FCI titles. Perhaps Harold or some other European racer can fully explain this system. Does the Whippet Club bar the...

.... .. I'm not seeing why Lampy is becoming the brunt of your sniping ....... Or prehaps i've miss read this :- " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Am I missing something here ????? Maybe you are. ......I thought this was a topic about lure coursing, and an idea of trying to get a whole load of us...

Jealousy is such a sad thing :clown: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure is!! But as I don't know "Springfield personally" I don't know what he has to be jealous about. I don't think jealousy generated his comments IMO. Terry Smith

.I think the best format is to enter and keep your tongue brown, I think that method would definately get you a coarse. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm! Someone's got it right at least. Don't get carried away on a vendetta just 'cos you got the hot's for rough northener's Lampy. You just keep...

Oh no!! Just love those BSFA meets. Open entry, few rules, & nobody trying to build a reputation. Pity they stopped touring. Mind you buggers weren't that competitive or gave trophys out. Terry Smith

. Oh dear. I am sure we will all be the poorer for your not participating in what will ,I am sure, be a hugely popular event. Never mind, we'll just have to soldier on and make the very best of it without you. Won't we folks? :clown: Oh Dear !! I suppose I will miss rubbing shoulders with a...

Just playing around 'till the pub opens. Everybody seems to love singing from the same song sheet. Thought I'd add a note of dissent. Terry Smith

I was generalising, actually both of our dogs that are fit to run are well under 20" ( a 17" bitch & a dog about the same height) We do have a 21" dog (with 2 balls) who was measured out for racing as supposedly 21 1/2 but he doesn't compete now as he's old & injured. Same dog ran several times...

If there are enough dogs, couldn't they be segregated into different stakes for different sizes? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well they could be but there'd be no fun in that. Half the fun is in excluding for these turkeys. If you want fun go LC'ing with the BSFA. You can run what you want more or...

Wasn't aware you had these problems John. Not an easy time for any of you. Best of luck to your feller. Keeping our fingers crossed for him. Terry & Sheila.

The BSFA let ridgebacks run. They run just south of Newbury. One used to run at our club ( A & T) years ago, Not fast but very keen.

"I was brought up to believe self praise is no recommendation" thats all the guy has got he's on a forum what do you want him to do come round and do some oddjobs <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow!!! like your style whats he like at creosoting? Terry Smith

I was brought up to believe self praise is no recommendation. The commercial breeders crack, was IMO a deliberate slur 'cos some people had the temerity to mention money Terry Smith

There's a very good discussion on the subject on the show forum try it.
