Think you'd be about 3 Sadie cos we didnt have Lady until she was already running, about 2 yrs old i think when we got her, i think she got title for us in 1989 ????? but not 100 per cent sure would have to go round to Nans and check trophies or ask Nan she probably has a better memory than me

i got my first whippet as an xmas present in 1983 didnt know she was a racing whippet she was bred out of chatterbox x ocean swell i called her penny her raceing name was moon dancer i didnt even know you could race them until one day i had her out for a walk and she ran off with a puppy along the field at the green drive in dawdon as me and the other owner were chasing our pups he asked me where id bought her from and to my amazment they were litter brother and sister and he told me this is where we train them and when i turned up on a sunday morning id never seen so many whippets together in all my life they were special times for me i used to drag myself up there on a sunday morning with the worst hangovers ever but when i got home i was completely fine i know we all started drinking young in them days and now :thumbsup:
