Over the past few weeks a few friends have been talking about organising a local Lurcher Show/ Racing Event. Having not experienced the organisation side we were looking for people to talk too.

Trawled all the forums for different people to get in touch with; and last night somebody said not to get in touch with Jeff from Lurcherworld as Living Heritage and Lurcherworld were parting company!

I find it hard to believe as I thought last season went well. The 4 that I visited anyway.

Somebody mentioned some underhand shenanigans trying to discredit Lurcherworld and other organisors. That seems, to me, to be the Lurcher showing/ racing enviroment on the whole anyway. You just have to read the posts on here. And yes I'm as big a culprit as any and I'm quite happy to admit it, although, I would hope, not quite as scathing as some.

The big question is?

Can anybody confirm the Living Heritage/ Lurcherworld future (Jeff????).

Any chance of a qualifier down our way Cornwall before the finals this year, :b i was disappointed to find the only show that was close to us wasn't a qualifier for next year, and that the finals had already took place. doesn't seem fare to me. but hopefully next year we will be able to make one of the lurcher world shows earlier in the year this time. :thumbsup: glade to hear you still in the game Jeff. di

Good to hear Jeff.

As you can see from "electrolurcher's" post, ignoring the obvious disconntent, the grapevine has been saying otherwise?

See you next season. :thumbsup:

The 1000 guineas is an open race so OPEN to any dog if you dont want to race with GH then try the the 100 yard dash which is run with unders and overs in mind.these races are also timed and very popular.

all ours had ago in the guineas this year and did well with 2 of them qualifying to the finals.Not that they won the best dog on the day did which WAS a lurcher.

if you need anymore info then please ask in a polite manner as MANNERS dont cost a thing and I can say with hand on hart theres know cheating going on in LURCHER WORLD if there was my family wouldnot be involved.

I attend as many of these events as I can and my Littl'Un who is an under 23" qualified for 1000 guineas against bigger dogs but unfortunately was lame so couldnt run in the final . The team and majority of those attending and partaking are very pleasant and genuine people :thumbsup: or like others I wouldnt bother. Tho if I do have a gripe it is that there is no sim anymore :-

And I dont think a greyhound made it thru to the semi's and it was an all lurcher final with the runner up a Rescue.... I think those who are griping are most probably exceptionally sore losers!!!

:teehee: a Lurcher came 1st at sanderingham finals a bloody good dog .As for the dog that came 2nd THE RESCUE was a GREYHOUND an exracer not a RESCUE just retired as i know this dog and she is only 3yrs old.So fairplay to the lurcher that beat it.
