The whippet book I've got (a few years old now) lists some of the former leading kennels in whippet coursing, these include

Laguna, of course :- "

Tweseldown

Jimanica

Nimrodel

Martinsell

Moonlake

Chyton

Hungeryhall

Cheesehouse

As I am relitivly new to the whippet cousing scene I would like to know if these kennels are still going and how their dogs are doing.

Also which kennels/dogs have been doing well in more recent years as my book is not very up to date.

:cheers: you lot

Funny you should mention this I was only today reading a discussion of most successful coursing dogs in The Whippet Spring 2002 (special article on the 40th anniversary of the WCC). It was a bit complicated but the author ( A. Loch ) concluded the three top dogs "in straight forward totals with all top scores for stakes, courses won and finals reached' were Chyton Minstrel, Laguna Leader (II) and Laguna Lively Lilt. Lilting Laird was a bit further down, I'm sure Polly'll be happy to hear that Lakey.

I think most of the kennels mentioned and their owners are still going - not sure about Hungryhall or Cheese house though.

Lakey, if you read Earth Dog Running Dog mag, there was a great article about coursing whippets and breeding etc in the Nov 2005 edition. Some cracking pics too.

I was wondering about Alex's dogs - what's behind Corabella Star, who's done very well this year?

 

[Strike Whippets]

Lucy is mainly Nevedith bred if my memory serve's me correctly :b ......

 

[Lakey]

How far north does the big whippet coursing meetings come. Norfolk, Sufolk and the South Cot are a hell of a treck from the West Yorkshire area if you want to go and watch to see if you fancy having a go

 

[BeeJay]

What whippet coursing meetings? There aren't any at the moment because of the ban. Are you meaning lure coursing?

 

[~elizabeth~]

Doesn't mister roberts run some lurecoursing up your way?

Yes I mean Lure coursing, but set up to simulate live coursing over larger distances.

Like the one Lamping Man won the other week.

The Lancashire Lure coursing is a fair treck too, but I'm gona make one in to when Mark is able to set some dates, gona try the racing as well

 

[BeeJay]

How far are they running?
