I'm a new whippet owner and a new member of this forum. Although I am an experienced dog owner I've never had a whippet before. I'm loving the breed buut am concerned about safe places to let my boy have a really good run. Does anybody know of any association or clubs in the West Lothian or Central Belt area of Scotland where you can take your dog just to run for fun and socialise? Thanks in anticipation, want to do the best I can for my wee boy! Dillon

Hi if you have a look on the pedigree whippet racing you will see 3 clubs in Scotland, I have been to the one at Kincardine and they are a really friendly club that will let you trial your dog. Watch the forum as they will put up dates for when they start back after the winter. Good luck

Thanks very much - took me ages to find your reply (new to site). I will look into this. When you say trial, do you mean let them have a run and see how they get on, or is this aimed a dog owners who are training their dogs to run serious races?

Hi I am a member at Kincardine you would be more than welcome to come along and give your dog a run. You don't have to race your dog just give it a wee run and see how it goes.

Thanks very much for the information, will definately give it a go when my dog is a wee bit older.
