:( Firstly, FLEESH may I say well done for winning at Highgate. Thank you also for enquiring about SAXON TIGER & SAXON GEM. Neither will be running at the Bend Championships as SAXON GEM is in season and SAXON TIGER suffered a muscle injury last time she raced at Warwick. I would say that...

:p This is a very difficult understanding why some dogs prefer a side. Take our litter out of Saxon Honey. Who, incidentally, was right hand on straights and wide on the bends. Her off-springs, there are the two bitches both left hands runners and railers, 2 of the dogs are right hand and...

:p Martin I know I will be criticised for what I am about to say. Yes, the dogs are left in the traps whilst the owners walk the track. Personally, I think it is hell for the dogs as the owners are shouting at them the dogs are going mad in the traps, clawing at the fronts etc. some suffer...

Well done to Mick and everyone else who attended last night - unfortunately, we couldn't make it this week. Great pity the NWRF Championships are not being held there, personally, I think it is a better track than Highgate. :oops:

;) I agree with everything John G. has stated. There is NOTHING WRONG with the size of the "Whippets" it is the way in which they are bred. There are a lot of "No Linit" dogs/bitches racing todays that are nearly FULL greyhounds :oops: because of their breeding. As regards buying traps...

:wub: Sorry Jeff. can't help you there I was just asked to put it on K9. It is in the whippet news. Joan

Saturday, l6th October, Warwick Greyhound Stadium open being held in aid of Children's Hospice. Racing: 4 groups - 21: 26: 31: 36: dogs/bitches sep. Run to Sup. Vets. plus 40lbs and No Limit Scratch. Consolation Racing for dogs not winning. Weigh-in 11.30 a.m. Your support would be much...

:) Fortunately, Mick it is not too serious, although it will mean she will be off for approx. 6/8 weeks by which time she should be in season. Dogs that have already trialled in - do you have to pre-enter or is it entry on the night? :cheers:

:p It is very generous of Westhoughton to allow Mick to hold meetings on a Thursday evening and I do hope the "Bend" dogs wil give him all their support. As the whippets will all have to race of their times this will/should make very interesting racing. Certainly make a change from the old...

Steve, very good idea. Genuine dogs are consistent give or take a few spots. Take yesterday, Saxon Gem did exactly the same time as she clocked up when winning her Championship earlier in the year, AND she hadn't even had a trial or race since the straight championships. Anybody with ideas...

:p Pete, your photos are fab. I think you should go "professional" :p I am hoping that you will see us again at the odd event - both this season and next. Personally, I think there needs to be a lot of changes in the racing generally to keep people interested!!!! :p Joan

Roger, I totally agree with you - people are sick and fed up with the arguments/disagreement re. drugs tests/results. Some folk just will not let it rest and have to keep "muck racking" all the time. After being in this sport since 1970. I have never known it to be so unpleasant/argumentative...

:p Vicky, you should know there are no better thieves than whippets. Me, I never leave anything about otherwise its gone - even raw onions!!! Pedal bin is put in the corner on top the work surface otherwise they are in it. I bet your dog enjoyed his "breakfast feast"!!!!!! Joan :p

:p We have a theory, which we have always used as a "guide". Whatever the pup weighs as 12 weeks, double that weight, and you are within a pound of their racing weight. Saxon Duke at 12 weeks weighed 21 lb - his racing weight is 42 lbs. So people wanting a "scratch dog" at 12 weeks they...

Thank you Tony, I am pleased to hear that you too think he is nothing but TROUBLE. If I had realised and know what I know now I would not have stated on K9 what I did. I have since replied to MKP of my feelings under a separate heading and as you see I am none too pleased with him and that is...

Well, I do hope you are pleased with your findings. If you accused Tom Bingham of any wrong information to whippetteers then you owe him an apology. He was NOT AND I REPEAT NOT the vet that gave me the info. In fact, I stated Monmore, but, in fact, the vet in question didn't come from this...

Thanks you Denise, I am glad I am not the only person who believes in Professional etiquette. As a retired Law Clerk I do know what you can and cannot divulge, especially on K9 and the likes. :cheers:

For you information the vet in question is no longer at Monmore and as this was several years ago, I doubt if they could help. Why are you going "down that road" again. Can't see the point myself. Afterall, it was one person's opinion at that time whether or not you think they are...

MKP. I am not prepared to give you this information. The Vet in question was/is a 1st class vet and I am not getting him/her involved in any drug dispute. I am not the only person this vet has given this info. to. This, by the way, was NOT recent but a few years ago when all the drug...
