bobslurchers 1 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 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?
