Why would you recommend/promote the sport of whippet racing?

We think it is a good and healthy sport that all the family can be involved with.

Promotes good/caring relationships/routines between pets and children.

Informative-diet/exercise needs.

BBC television are coming to our house tomorrow to start filming Harry/dogs and will be finishing off one weekend to film the track/racing/training etc...due to lack of light available these winter evenings.

Only sensible and clean suggestions please.

you get 2 go travelling like a gypsy all over the country in your tent in the great outdoors. It makes sure you get enough exersize as im sure Harry will vouch 4 when he is training the dogs 4 a big race. Last but not least u get 2 meet like minded people all there 4 the same reason 2 enjoy the buzz of racing your dog. Oh and the social aspects not bad either :cheers:

We like the racing as it's a family hobby. Our 2 kid's will be getting involved more with the dog's and maybe racing their own soon. We like the weekend's away in the caravan most as it's little holiday's for us and if the dog's don't win, it does not matter as we have a great time. We have also met some very nice people who we now consider as friend's who can cheer us up when we have a run of bad luck. We are looking forward to the first weekend away for our first little holiday this year.

who's doing all the hovering for film crew ...harry?

 

[sherry]

hi was just wondering how the bbc interview went? When is it gonna b on t.v.?

 

[kipper fluke]

I did all the hoovering Dee, even came home from work during my lunch-hour to make sure that Steve had kept the house reasonably tidy as I knew that the BBC would be already at the house when I came home from work that evening.

Sherry-the filming went well we think! Harry was on his own being filmed in different rooms alot of the time!! :b

We don't know when it will be on yet as the filming is not finished yet-he's coming back soon to film outside on the Lancaster track/training/racing etc.

A very pleasant cameraman-quite dishy also! only 25 years old and single, Laura and her friend looked interested anyhow.

He had a very laid back manner about him and he talked in an appropriate manner to Harry which I suppose matters alot when your only 14 years old and a bit nervous, could be quite an intimidating experience for most kids that age.

The cameraman was also relaxed around the dogs, his filming style seems to have a different slant on that of Michelle May's report -(Granada) -2 years ago.
