Leeview 791 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well the organisers care how its bred and thats their stipulation Y.I.S Leeview ps apparently the organiser has a seriously fast dog that will take some beating So basically someone with a fast dog of a certain type has organized a challenge race for dogs of that type, with a lot of posturing, in a place and at a time that is likely to put of many who would be serious contenders in said race and to said dog, so that presumably the organizers dog will win and the posturing shall continue? And does fens not suggest turning rater than running in a straight line? basically Yes. and its £50 to enter a dog,hand slipped in pairs 1 winner which goes through to next round until finally a winner out of the last 2 dogs left in. Overall winner gets 50% of the pool runner up gets 25% leaving 25% to the venue H4H was mentioned vaguely but not confirmed Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Right ......... Um 50 + 25 + 25 = 100. . . . . what are H4H getting? Quote Link to post
optimus 447 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 What ever is the point of larging it up about having a dog running fast in a strait line ? ? iv never known a rabbit, hare, fox or deer that runns in a strait line! see if your pretend greyhound can stay tight when the real life quarrie does turn. Any more speed than is needed to get on terms is a waste. if you want a fast dog take up greyhound racing ! if you want a pretty dog and a rosset start showing poodles! "WHAT IS SPEED TO A RUNNING DOG???? EVERYTHING,AS LONG AS THE QUARRY RUNS IN A STRAIGHT LINE! Quote Link to post
