My Career as a Lure Courser
Chapter 1 - Certification

by Val the Whippet

On March 24, 2000, I received my Hound Certification at The Western Washington Whippet Association ASFA All Breed Lure Field Trials in Roy, Washington.  Roberta S. West judged me while I ran with Bailey.  Thank you Bailey for doing that extra run just for me!  I did great.  We had a couple of pass-bys with no problem.  What other dog?  I just wanted that bunny!

Everyone watching was very impressed with my run.  The judge, Roberta, said that not only did I run a good certification run, but I also had a high scoring run...if they had been scoring!  Next time.

That's me on the left.  The only reason I am "behind" is that Bailey was cutting corners!  The white things on the ground on the right are the lures.


I ran this counter-clockwise. The above picture was taken in the final stretch.
