Hello its Ronnie from Carlisle, my wife is linda  i have two lasses Kate (who races the dogs) and Haley, i also have two lads Terry and Darren (they dont come racing)

well i have five dogs and kate has  one of her own, they are:

Clever cleo, Red warrior, Mr cool, Snow fire, and Ice warrior (kates dog).

charlie (ice warrior) was attacked by another dog last october so he is unable to race again. he never really had any luck on the track ( with injuries) so not alot of people seen him run. all the other dogs are doing well. hope to see you all in the near future good luck for the sason ahead.

Hi Ronnie I remember your dog Snow Fire he gave my big dog a great race last year at Carlisle last year we think he will have a very good season this year.

[kate with snow fire]

Hi its kate from carlisle i have been racing for quite a few years now but i had been racing my dads dogs. i got my own dog two years ago for christmas he is Ice Warrior he never really got much out of his racing career due to injuries, but last october he was attacked by a staffodshire bull terrier so he will not race again. so im taking the dogs off my dad and  you will all see me racing:

Red warrior(Dream Warrior / Red Dwalf) he races at about 40lb

Mr Cool (Micky mouse / Dessie) he races at about 32+lb

Snowfire (Micky mouse / Dessie) he races at about 30lb but got runner up at the champs back in august. so we hope to do a bit better this comming season. I love going away to the scottish derby and it will be even better now the english derby is a lot nearer. hope to see you all around the country once i have finished the Animal care course i am doing at the present time. Good luck for the season a head and the rest of the great years a head    looking forward to hearing from you all bye for now kate (lilly)

Hi there plonker this is your moment of fame perhaps you will let us into a few of your secrets about yourself and your training methods and it will possibly help us all into understanding our dogs a little better  i have no doubt that a wrinkle of your experience will be treasured by us all and make a vast difference to the way racing is conducted in the future.Also i bet you have some advice on breeding you would like to share please reply soon     KIPPER  xxxxxxx

 

[shane]

Hi, I'm Carol, married to Steve, live at Newark Notts, originally from Wales. I have two Whippets Smartie (Fawn and White partie) and Peter (Fawn and White trim). We all love walking in Yorkshire and the Peak district (if it's fine, hate the rain, the boys refuse to go anywhere if it's raining!!). May show the boys but they are pets first and foremost. Also have a horse called Charlie he's a 15.2 Chestnut gelding, who also hates the rain. Used to have a whippet cross called Shane he was 18 when he died and he was the best dog you could wish for, in fact he thought he was human!!.

Hi, Im Paul...new to all this, but have had plenty of help and advice from many people on here. Rory is my 1st whippet, and it's a big learning curve at the moment, he has so much energy I'm having difficulty keeping up, and I ain't that unfit  ???

I live in Grays (Essex) with my wife Michelle, who is most certainly NOT an Essex girl    She's actually from Northumberland....

I have met Sheila Webb and some of the people from Thurrock Whippet Racing club (they trial their dogs within 10mins walk of my house) and Rory will be going there when he's old enough.

RealMadYid for those who know indicates I'm a big Spurs fan and I dream they too will be like Real Madrid  

Cheers,

Paul

 

[Samantha Chase]

Hi,

My name Samantha Chase and my husband is Joe.  We live in Canada, north of Toronto.  I have a son, Rory, who is 21 and living at University right now.   I've been in Whippets for about 25 years.  We have three adults, the boys - Caleb who is 2 1/2 years old, Erik who is 1 1/2 years and our girl Brie who is 3 years.  We lost our old girl Britta just before Brie was born, she was 15 and I still miss her a lot!  We also have a litter of puppies right now who are 10 weeks old and are all very "enthusiastic" about life in general - lol!  We will be keeping a girl from this litter - Molly, who's photo is on the website.  We are involved in showing to a certain extent, but since racing came to Canada in 1996, showing really takes a back seat.  We also love lure coursing and try to go as often as we can.  The closest race meets are still 3 hours away, but it's worth it!

Welcome to the list and it's nice to get to know everyone a bit more.

Best Wishes

Samantha

 

[Fleesh]

ok so maybe i got a little sidetracked and forgot to tell you all about me  

i'm 15 and i live near doncaster, i have one dog, she is called connors lass and is bred from a dog in wick called selim cool(laid back x cassie cool) and out of an unraced bitch (also from wick who is believed to have some ancestry towards cheeky anne) She is my first ever dog so i threw myself in at the deep end and decided "lets race her too"   !!! i have only raced since we got kerri but i used to come and watch for about a year on and off before that. i am enjoying racing my dog and i want another (so it's addictive) i want a big black bitch (cos i have a name and everything picked for her) maybe one day i'll get my dream dog (bet thats what we all say        )

                     l8r.  ???

 

[JoJess]

It sure is addictive fleesh, i have eight up to now, no moreeeeeeeeeeeeeee i keep saying, but when a little pup comes along that is good breeding WHAT DO U DO lol always room for one more eyyyyyy

Hi,this is Peter Scott, known as Scotty, I race with my daughter Jade, our dog is N.Ch

Southern Scott, bred out of Cracked It X Alabama, I have raced on and of since 19-70

mostly with the peds, boy could they show us how to run an open or what!. We had quite a good first yeat with Tigger pet name, last year but missed out at the BWRA straights when his name sake tigger won the 30lb class. we hope to be going to mostof the big events this year including scotland, lets hope this year we go home with what we arrive with, good luck to all racers and there dogs this year.

 

[iang]

Hi,My name is Ian Grand and I have just reached the big 50.I raced whippets on and off from being a schoolboy.I live up in the North East which in years gone by,was a real hot bed,with virtually every mining village having its own track.I have just bought a show type whippet as a pet and didn`t realise that the racing fraternity is still going strong albeit it seems mostly open racing as opposed to club.So if there are any decent racing pups around this area,I may just be tempted into getting the old muzzle and racing colours out of mothballs and buying myself a companion for my little bitch.(the pup that is not my wife)and before you all start accusing me of being a chauvinist pig,I was only JOKING there
