am surprised to see a message from Urchin. I believe she has a whippet Digit who is a half-brother of one of my dogs (and Keith's Jill also has the same sire as our dogs). I was off to Scotland, racing only one dog. He wasn't the biggest dog running, but they do have a strict 21" height limit in ped whip racing, and many whippets were so tiny they looked like a different breed (or variety anyway). My dog won the cons semifinal, but was only 3rd in the final after making a poor start and gamely trying to catch up -- probably would do better if he had more practice with the traps. Seems you had a good weekend at Ballywalter; we had a good weekend at Kincardine too.

Hi Macha - you have a good memory, I do indeed have Digit!

Sadly he wasn't at Ballywalter with me as we were only over for the weekend.....but hopefully we'll have a big enough car to bring all the dogs with us soon.

I'll PM you next time we are coming over for a game fair (could be Shanes Castle???) and we'll see if we can meet up and if you're you're over for any in England let me know!
