This event is seriously needing revamped, they churn the same stuff out, year after year, once again Hywel Morgan doing fly fishing in the main arena, same Falcon display ect ect, and in the lurcher show, not even a Whippet class.

If a few whippets turn up let us know on the day we can put a class on no bother.

I contacted a female about 6 weeks ago, had a look on my emails but cant find it, she had something to do with the Lurcher show, the answer she gave me was no whippet classes, My whippet pup is Five Months I couldn't even enter him in a puppy class..maybe in the future if you want to better the show, you could have a whippet class and whippet racing, if Lowther can do, why not you.

At every show the puppy classes are dog and bitch pups no specific breeds, there is racing on.....

I know this I have been lots of time, and I was told no show classes for my whippet pup, so does this mean I can enter him in the puppy classes,

[sikastag_1 689]

Aye pups are only under dog and bitch,

I hope this year is better than the last. The change of location etc. I've heard that it is trying to rival scone. I'm looking forward to it just to see whAt they have done. Wanted to camp but I've got other commitments on Sunday.

 

Your right about whippets being overlooked in shows. I'm sure if you turned up with the dog they would fit you in somewhere.

Hoping to be there, if anyone on here sees a young Black and White Whippet, come over for a Craic.

Denned,

Maybe in the future the Lurcher racing could be in the main arena, with a Slipper in proper attire, red jacket ect they do this at Broughton with the Whippets and the crowd loves it, instead of being stuck in a far away corner of the field.
