Finny

Sid
"Sid"(Ch.Lepus Centaur,FCh.,RChS, ORM) had an exciting year in 1997 with 3 BOB's and 2 BIF's Lure Coursing! He also did very well racing, placing #4 Whippet in CARA Straights and #9 Whippet in CARA Ovals. In 1998 he placed #7 Whippet Straights, racing in fewer venues in '98. He finished his SRM & ORM titles in '98 and his Straight Race Champion title in the first half of 1999.   He now lives with Kim Russell (of HotDiggity Dog! in Peterborough) and his great niece Roxy, Lurcher Chaldrah, and Borzoi Dulcinea.  Quite the family he has!  They go hunting regularly and he has caught many a bunny!  They make an excellent hunting team!

"Finny" finished his conformation title quickly and placed in the Group a couple of times.  He did not race at all in 1998, but Kim had him out in 1999 at a few meets.  He achieved his Oval Racer of Merit title in early September.  Although he has lots of prey drive, he has some trouble at the end of the race with ownership of the bunny.  We stopped racing him and in his veteran years he has become more able to share and was out to some NOTRA meets and some lure coursing trials.  He loves the chase and catch! Measures in at 21.5".
