The racing and showing at the Sporting Whippet Club are for pure bred whippets only, if you have KC reg papers it shouldn't be a problem to produce them although at this moment in time the club does not insist on them. However, the club reseerves the right to refuse entry to any dog that is of questionable breeding, this could be when the dog in question does not display breed characteristics or if reg papers have been produced and the dog in question does not match the details on the papers.

Hope this helps.

As I said in my previous post, it is for PURE BRED whippets only, whippets are a breed, not a type, hence the committee resererve the right to refuse entry to any animal they do not believe to be a pure bred whippet, whether it has papers or not, and height does not come into it, as most pure bred whippets conform to the breed standard regarding height. Do you have a whippet yourself?
