    Shane I think you are taking things too personal about this topic on this discussion fourm,that's what it is for discussing things and trying to improve our sport.This topic is about defing a whippet not running a club down, people are only making sugestions in an open manor and reading through it carefully with an open mind most are saying the same thing maybe in a different way.

    Well folks its about time i said my piece lol wasnt going to bother but sure why not. I spent most of the racing day at birr near the starting line for the racing and entry for the racing must say i also thought the classes were going to be kc whippet and un reg whippet but at the line i heard of dogs being entered in "NON PED" classes which is why the eirne dog probably ended up in the race that he did.Even as the dogs lined up on the start line ernie and another dog which had a broken coat realy stood out from the rest but it seems there has been some confusion on the new classes and a littl

    UTB, Thanks for your post. You obviously feel strongly about this and I respect that. I think it was you who made the suggestion to me about an 'elite class ' for lurcher racing and as you can see we have started to take this on board albeit again in an interim fashion. As you have guessed I put my own viewes in a forthright fashion and I don't mind others putting theirs in a similar manner. BUt I think it is better all round if you decide to criticise something you make a suggestion how to improve it. As I said to Speedy above this is an interim measure for Birr only to see how it goes.

    What a poor opinion you have of your fellow enthusiasts. When you win prize money you can always as I do put it back into the organising club funds. I think good prizes encourages excellence and if I compete , win or lose, I like to compete against the best.

    Also prize money only encourages people to cheat.

    Will have to say somthing here, first of all fair play to the girls for giving it a go but there seems to be a massive shortage of judges in this country as it seems to be the same people judging show after show how can be happening.Also with a sport that needs all support it can get from younger generations there was no incouragement for younger participants eg child handling class or special rosettes etc.Just on another note while i am airing my feelings i heard at the ring side talk of some lurcher events running dogs out of traps what is that all about if people want to run dogs from traps

    Now that is a challenge to owner of the winner of the whippet racing! Anyone with any sense must realise that Matt or any other racing organisers cannot argue the toss with someone who says his or her dog is a whippet. Size solely doesn't really come into it and in fact may not be any advantage - look at Rose Mc Coy's small dog and China too is no giant. As far as I can see there are three solutions: 1. If challenged, at the show - not anonymously on these forums - the owner should be prepared to meet the challenge by saying how he or she thinks it is a whippet. 2. If he or she
