Kirislin Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 yay Neko! Arkey's legs look like they are almost a third longer, no wonder she can't catch him :laugh: so cute he's 2 kilos heavier than she is. She's only 4.3 kilos and he's about 6.2 I think, plus being a male means he's stronger anyway. He's pretty quick actually, we're thinking of seeing if he can run against the whippets next meeting.

Lasareina Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 wow i think she is smaller than I am assuming from the computer screen lol... I was imagining the iggies to be just a little bit smaller than a whippet... but sounds like they are a LOT smaller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) This image is just wonderful :) :) Many thanks Perse. :D It was a real fun day. wow i think she is smaller than I am assuming from the computer screen lol... I was imagining the iggies to be just a little bit smaller than a whippet... but sounds like they are a LOT smaller! Yep, she's pretty tiny. I once had a friend refer to my first tiny sighthound as a rat on stilts.Small in stature but big in personality. Small but mighty.

tdierikx Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 What smaller dogs don't have in size, they more than make up for in personality... right Kirislin? Stunning photos of stunning dogs as usual... and we need to remember how bloody hard it is to catch action that fast with a camera... those iggies can really move! T.

Kirislin Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yep, little dogs, but big personalities is right T. Here's another funny one. Bottoms up! by kirislin, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Those are great coursing shots, love seeing the Iggys run :) Our lure coursing club has said from next year that dogs will need to run 'naked' with no harnesses or collars. Kirislin, with your coursing experience I wondered if you knew of anywhere that sells lure coursing 'slip' collars but in a teeny size? Poppy is about the size of an Iggy. Like this. http://www.blackdogtrading.co.uk/product-info.php?hare_coursing_slip_lead-pid233.html Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hand slip without collars. When I used to race at Tooradin we used to remove their collars and jump them from starting boxes. Were we race now we just hand slip them and dont need a collar. I did buy a quick release collar off ebay from some lady in France years ago but I dont use it an I dont think I can remember her name. You might have luck asking this mob about collars. https://www.facebook.com/groups/147862468653073/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 We are hand slipping, I remembered those collars from years ago when I did hare coursing back in the UK. Really just looking for an excuse to buy another 'gadget' :laugh: Thanks for the fb link - I'll see if they will accept me as a non-Iggy owner :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I once had a friend refer to my first tiny sighthound as a rat on stilts. That's hilarious. My first two pups were Maltese with very very fine coats, so at age 6 months I had to have them completely shaved because although I was brushing them, I wasn't actually untangling any knots :o I used to call them rats in white body stockings. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Here's my little speed demon last Sunday at the whippet races. Look at her go!! Neko, Look at her go! by kirislin, on Flickr But isn't it always the way. She's lived with my horse for almost a year now and never a mishap with them. But yesterday she had her hind foot trodden on. Much squealing and whimpering and a bit of blood. I'm icing it but she's a bit tender on it. She's entered for the Royal Melbourne show this coming Friday so I can only hope it's right by then.

Loving my Oldies Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Lol Kirislin. All three how popular that would have been. Reminds me of the time a thousand years ago when all the Waters children (my brother, sister and me) won the fancy dress prizes for their age groups. Popular?? No wat.

T. ahem, I believe there might have been suggestions of that too. :laugh: One of our friends fainted in the kennelling area and we called first aid to see her. Then the ambo lady appeared to be hitting on him. While she was supposed to be checking our friend and asking her questions she stopped to ask Marcus if anyone had ever told him he has the most amazing eyes. We all just laughed cause he gets it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
