Dead right on that one SS.
I've always said, they are all fecking Lurchers and 'should' be in the same classes, with each being Judged on its composition 'to type' BUT over the years i've seen many judges fight shy of going over bull crosses in the ring, never mind picking one out against other Lurcher types. No extra classes on for Wheaten crosses etc..... Whats the difference..... Hair?
Oh and then there is the "them's not propper Lurchers" line, usually lobbed in from someone who is trying to exibit his Cavalier King Charles X Whippet 'street accident', that'll dust any one of those
