Just a quick update.

 

there are only 2 places left available for this the biggest lure coursing meeting ever held for KC whippets, never before has so much prize money been offord for a whippet lure coursing meeting.

 

so far there are working/race/show/pet bred whippets entered so we have a good cross section of dogs.

 

I was hoping to see a few more from the well known working kennels entered but so far theyve not been recieved.

How old should a dog be before it could enter? My pup will be 10 months then. Is she still to young? She's never lure coursed before but it would be nice just to meet other whippet people and see the other whippets coursing.

[parkstone 24]

Hi mate,

 

whippets would idealy need to be over 12 months (prferable 18) as the courses will be between 350-600yds long so in the interest of the pups 10 months would be a bit young.

Cheers bud,

 

maybee next year. I wouldn't risk damaging her. Its not worth it is it. She will just need to win it next year ha ha.

Is your pup a peddy or non ped? How old is it?

 

I would try it with a rabbit dummy on a rope and drag it for it untill it chases. If you cant get a rabbit skin I used a tea towel on a rope and my whippet loves chasing and ragging it.

 

You might find that if the rabbit is sitting still your dog ignores it but when it runs i would think it will chase.

 

You could try bolting rabbits with the ferrets. As long as the dog can see it bolt it will hopefully give chase.

 

 

I was thinking of starting up a lure coursing club if there was enough intrest. There are two racing clubs. Alloa and Stirling and if there was enough intrest we could give it a go.

 

The hardest part would be getting a judge who knew what they were doing.

 

It could be held once a month.

The main thing is if you can get a club started you can build on it, just start off with a bit of fun not caring who wins.

 

i've been running lure coursing in Lancashire now for 7 years for whippets and most of the time the owners take it in turns to judge a meeting in a relaxed atmosphere its only the fact that this ones got prize money ect that we decided to bring in independent slipper/judge.

 

if you go along to 1` of the scotish racing clubs they will make you welcome.

 

Calidonian Thistle which rtace near the Kincarden power station just next to the Kincarden bridge and there the Scotish PWRC that race in Sterling.

 

if you want contact numbers for either/both of those clubs PM me.

she is fully kc regesterd with 27 champions on her 5 gen paper , she is 8 months old there have been rabbits 20 yards from us in the midle of the feild and she hasnt even noticed them running , i was going to try her with a rag to chae but there is nothing that moves fast enough for her to chase i cant pull it fast enough she runs with my bike me as fast as i can go and she doesnt even get out of breath or nead to run fast . her father was a huge whippet from old coursing stock 20 of the champions were on his side both parents were ownd bye the same people and work the lamp and with ferrets the pup is steady with ferrets other animals she walks out with my horse . i just had her and the terrier out and the two of them were bushing quite well its the first of them showing any sign of working nothing was about but im over the moon thats them starting to pay attention . im sure she will be handy bitch once she matures i had two from the litter but could only keep this one she is far faster than the other was the breedings there so fingers crossed her head is

 

ps i know she would chase a lure once shown it .
