the height measurement is done from withers (top of shoulders) to toe/ground, "gelding" [!], more stable than measuring to a dog's head so maybe your dog is only 20 in?? and length of back is usuallmeasured from withers to top of the tail, but I've never heard of that measurement being taken for racing; they go by height or by weight.

I was so looking forward to racing my hounds last Sun but this weekend I have other plans alas.

) i have a lurcher cross not sure what its breed is i got it from assisi not sure of its age either, he s  approx 5  he has a smooth coat and he s about 28inches from head to tail and about 26inches from head to toe, ive never been to any thing like this before so i dont know what to expect or how the dogs are matched for racing sounds like fun.  :cheers:   :luck:

i also dont normal put on puppy racing so i went out of my way to get the trophys for this thought as there is a lot of young dogs 12 months and under i thought i would be a great bit of competion but looks like no one wants competion i dont have to put this class on but done it out of kindness
