Fun Run News

A very nice Fun Run (Straight Racing practice) on Sunday June 14.
We had everything from a 13 week old puppy, to a near full start box (5) of experienced racing whippets. There was a golden who almost brought the lure all the way back to the start box. I almost hired him for the job. His owner will work on that retrieve a little more. We had a Boston terrier, Border collie, several hot rod Greys,Whippets, Ridgebacks, Silkens, and Borzois. We had several new faces, and many returning friends. Kim Plache' brought some antelope stir fry and Melissa Pearce brought a good potato salad for us all to enjoy. People from as far away as Toronto,Canada and Taos, New Mexico were there along with folks from as close as my neighbors. We finished cleanup less than an hour before the afternoon storms. A good day I hope for all. We had at one point over 20 cars and 40 plus dogs.We look forward to seeing you all again. Keep a watch on the calendar on our yahoo group, http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ZoiBoyz/ for up-coming events.
Our next event here at the ZoiBoyz Ranch will be a sanctioned racing weekend, June 20 & 21; LGRA (Large Gazehound Racing Association), hosted by CLCA combined with NAWRA (Whippet racing) and ISWS (Silkens). Our next Fun Run (coursing practice) will be Saturday, July 18 and hope to have ASFA certification runs for folks wanting to have an opportunity to run at CLCA's annual Grand National September 11, 12, & 13. The 11th is also the ASFA Region 3 Invitational.
