This is why we hold different events (Endurance Challenge and one off events in the Championships) as some Lurchers have tons of stamina and can work all day long and some are short burst speed machines.
They each have their talents and we are lucky to own them as they all did us proud :D
I've just spent 6 and a half hours on a train back up to the west midlands, i'll post some more pics and videos on photobucket and the full endurance challenge point break down over the next day or 2 as i haven't had much chance yet :)

It looks like Meg did 18ft and came out at 20ft which was still very good as 20ft was the length that the Champion won by. It is an impressive length after the day the dogs had been through, Long Jump was the 4th out of 5 events they took part in.
Meg did any absolutely brilliant job to come...
