hello,
i have been designing a new sport for sighthounds for the past year or two (mostly in my head).
since autumn, i've been speeding up a bit... making MSword documents, definitions, and started to make films this winter.
things will continue to speed up in the spring, as i need good weather to make most of the films.
I couldnt find a Sighthound category here in K9, so i put it here in Whippets because i am guessing that probably over half of the sighthounds that take part in the future will be whippets. (yes, i am expecting this sport to catch on sooner or later).
This sport is meant to be for the whole sighthound group, but probably the following will excel the most...
Whippet, Lurcher, Saluki, Sloughi, Azawakh, Greyhound, Magyar Agar, Galgo, and other medium to medium-large hounds.
and possibly the IG.
the sport is called Sighthound Disc Sport (SDS).
it incorporates aspects of dog-disc (dog-frisbee), coursing, and perhaps in some ways, racing.
i plan to add more info to this thread with time. i hope you all will become curious and will join in a discussion with me. i've always really liked the people here!
it may seem like a radical idea for you at first, but please give it a chance. if the humble beginnings dont convince you, please check back often and see how things are progressing and see what info and multimedia have been added.
the YouTube site is brand new.
only one film there so far. the next is in the works.
this film has polish subtitles available (you need to find the button in the lower-righthand corner of the video frame)...
other languages to follow. in a way, other languages are already there, cuz the polish can be set to translate (not perfectly) on the fly from the polish subtitles.
here is the youtube site:
