We live very close to the sittingboune dog track, and have been there a few times now. It has got me wondering how you would go about finding and racing a dog. Im asuming you would have to go with something specificaly from racing lines, rather than lurcher types?

The nearest flapping track to you would be a good couple of hundred mile away.

There have been a few straight courses down this way over the years, sadly like most tracks have all gone by the way :(
