I just found my only copy of Whippet News June 1990, theres a photo of Henry Dobie with Indian joe who i see was bred Tyrone X Stags choice, its probably mentioned on here already but Tyrone appears to have been a good stud, maybe its about time someone brought a book out on whippet racing, as this post has made excellent reading.

And what a real shame pictures like this aren't being taken in the winter today : ( , bag of bloody shat bags , I was telling my mum what the hunting ban actually covered and she was gob smacked although she would probablly never go digging or trail the hounds across country she would enjoy watching decent honest folks running there dogs on a crisp winters morning R.I.P a way of life lost but let's hope not forever ,

 

 

 

this is an article from an old whippet news also

 

whittingham stake final

dogs in the slips, WALKER and SACHA

just before the off.The judge in the background take up postion

 

 

 

 

 

After three years of waiting , on 24th january "81, i finally made it to the whippet coursing meet

Major Ward had given his permission.on the last day of the shooting season , to the east anglian whippet coursing club, to use his whittingham hall grounds for this edvent

 

the coursers were divided into three groups , the first being for the whittingham stakes ( open class )

the final was won by WALKER who showed class in the first round and went on to a tight -run final.This was a re course as two hares got up in the first attempt

with WALKER & SASHA ,the finalists taking one each,, the judge declared a non event

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The puppy final or sonny stakes was won by SANDY ,another fine courser.These youngsters went well and what the lack in experance they make up for in enthusiam. POLLYDODDLE being the beat finalist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the one thing that owners did without comment was abide by the decisions of mr ron monk,the judge

this is very important part of sport,after all do make mistakes somtimes but it is not for the owner to make a song and dance about rons judging position was always correct

 

the ground was very wet with heavy plough, but hares were pleantyful,but i can imagine ,on a day when there not,this would cause alot of walking with owners and dogs

fullmarks to the slipper who always gave the hare a distance start

I don't think there is a Hall of Fame thing for Whippets, that includes the fastest times. I would think the fastest at the moment is a dog called Loves Lockdown, which is breaking Greyhound track records on the bends, not sure how it does on the 150 yards straight track, though. It's a big dog, and some people might not class it as a "Whippet", but if the BWRA doe's, then it's their rules, and that's what counts !

 

Cheers.
