danny300 2,240 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yes Bob, and I spent a few years racing against lurchers too, when it was true lurchers, no race bred dogs, and mine was the only pure bred whippet. It was mostly simulated lure coursing, not much straight racing back then, and yes, my bitch held her own, she never won, but came second a few times. Was there any moaning, no! What has changed now is that there are races put on for "whippets", not whippet crosses, whippet types or non peds, is that that hard to understand? The whippet folk aren't asking for any special treatment, the show organisers over here have seen the whippet becoming more popular and have tried to accommodate them at their shows, but failed to anticipate that some people would try to race, for want of a better word, lurchers (race bred non peds or whatever you want to call them) in the whippet races! We ALL can see what you mean !! If you want "Whippet"! only racing, then show your papers !! SIMPLE !!. There are guys like Bob, who race and work there dogs, and enjoy it ! Why can't you guys ????? No, you just must win "Lurcher" racing.. where VERY few actual working Lurchers take part !! As I KEEP saying, why don't you people race your dogs against their peers, out of traps on a real track, instead of racing against LURCHERS who don't have a chance ?? I really have no idea why you keep saying we are trying to run against lurchers??? That is NOT the point here, the point is that organisers are putting on races for WHIPPETS, what is so hard to understand? They also put on LURCHER races for over and under 23 inches, I keep pure bred, KC reg whippets, not whippet types or non peds, I don't agree with having to show papers as a lot of the whippets, who are pure bred, may not have them, that doesn't mean they are not pure bred. And yes we do race and work our dogs over here and we do enjoy it, except when some LURCHER owners run their LURCHERS in the whippet class. (I do use the term lurcher loosely here, because I do agree with you when you differentiate between race bred dogs and true working lurchers!) Janet janet not all work there whippets there is a black and white and the words from the owners mouth was i would not work him in case he gets injured and he say's he wasn't beaten which he was Jeez this must be a first Danny, am agreeing with you twice in the one nite lol. I know exactly what you are talking about!! maybe we are getting somewhere if people are starting to agree with danny 300 lol i must be saying some thing right all along Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whip x grey 276 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 It's looking like we are possibly going to have the following races during the show season:- KC Whippets with papers KC Whippets no papers under 21" under 23" over 23" iam thinking the same dazz,,,,,but i think its important they run the supreme,,,,or choose not to on the day ,,,,as it might cause arguments lol i,e i have the fastest kc paper whippet ,,,no you dont i have the quickest working no papers whippet so a supreme run off should be an oppion for them ,,,,if one declines then ,,the other the winner , no aruguments ive been in same decision ,,,when english came up to race on there holidays ,,,,knowing i wouldnt win on supreme run off ,,,having the dog,,,and running off with bitches giving a head start ,,,peggy sue and pick pocket,,,,but i ran off all the same as allthou i knew i was beat ,,i seen it as bad sortmanship lol,,,but when it comes to that stage no one cares as the best two dogs have fought it out all day,,,and it came down two just the two,,,,and who ever wins owners and spectors dont care ,,,and are spectors are 1st to clap and cheer both dogs on as this is what the day steamed too,,,two dogs battling it out at end ,,,BOTH ARE WINNERS IN THE RUN OFF same can apply to this event ,,,,as it wont take up any more time,,,,as its like running off to a semi final ,,,then meeting each other for a supreme run off,,,,the prizes dont have to change much,,,just smaller prizes for each final,,each get small trophy or rossette,,,then supreme get bag off dog food either main trophy or bigger rossette ,,,that way its done and dusted pheeeewww,,lol,,,no breed off dog argued more than a whippet lol for last 100years that way owners pay there money to enter alberts event,,,and everyones happy ,,,,,,GOOD LUCK ALBERT,,,,I WOULDNT WANT YER JOB LOL,,,,OR SHANES AND TEAM WHO RUN RACING LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
