Last year we gave one of Owen and Rosie's pups to a friend of mine .He is Angel and Nathan's brother Danny. My friend has IG's lurchers and whippets and works all her dogs that is except Danny who she says has no clue about chasing things and catching rabbits . To him dinner comes in a bag from the shops.

My friend Tanya has just rung me today to say that Danny has competed in his first lure coursing competion in the pupy class for whippets 12-24 months he is only 14 months old and he came 2nd. He is entirely show bred with no working blood in him and until recently he hadn't got any iterest in the lure. Suddenly it has all seemed to click in his tiny brain and today he ran his little legs of . He even managed to run the course true that is following the lure through all the gates to be beaten by half a point in the final.

Well done Danny- Oakmoorehill Bafana at Highisland
