The Lancashire Pedigree Whippet Racing Club was set up to provide whippet owners from Lancashire and surounding Counties (yorkshire, Merseyside ect) with a place to race and train their whippets.
Along side our weekly race meetings we also run training for new dogs (of any age or ability) and puppies.
The Club is affiliated to the WCRA (Whippet Club Racing Association)
New and perspective members are always welcome to come along and meet everyone and have a chat about anything to do with Whippets, (racing, training, feeding ect) experianced members are always on hand to offer good advice to owners.
Our race meetings are held in a freindly relaxed atmosphere the emphasis being on enjoying seeing our dogs doing what they enjoy doing (running) and winning for the owners is just a bonus.
We hold regular trophy & rossett meetings where members dogs compeat to win their owners a lovely trophy or rossett to take home (and keep for good)
The club operates a handicap system that means all dogs regardless of ability have a chance to win.
The Club has a WRCA Seconder available at race meetings (or at his home by appointment) to process passport forms to enable dogs to compeat at Open race meetings as well as WCRA Championships.
Our Race meetings are held at Littleborough Rugby Clubs ground behing Hollingworth Lake Littleborough.
