Thanks to Google and Microsoft's efforts with many libraries there were many books scanned and made available via the Internet. Although the project has ended due to copyright concerns. But during this process there have been many dog books from the late 19th century and early 20th century. There were many that contained references to whippets. I'm attempting to gather some of those references and I invite you to share references that you've found.

I love "Only $2 Entry Fee", plus show entries didn't close until just 12 days before the show. I cannot understand why in this computer age we can't enter shows a couple of days before the show start.
ReplyDeleteBeing on the show end with my club, I think some of the key reasons are catalog, scheduling, and tracking the number of dogs per judge. No one judge can be over 170 dogs in a day. I don't think the scheduling and changes can be done without human intervention. In many European shows, there is a sliding scale. The earlier you enter, the lower the fee. I would love to see $2 entries though! Maybe someone can have a retro show. Bring back the old prices for a weekend.
