Entry forms

Please note there are two separate forms and ensure you complete the correct form for the dog(s) you wish to enter:

For newcomers with Whippets and Italian Greyhounds, these breeds are separated into two categories, ‘standard’ and ‘sprinter’. This has nothing to do with the speed of the dog, it is categories for the height.

All whippets and Italian Greyhounds are measured officially prior to licences being issued, however we ask all owners to use their best estimate when entering so we can assure the appropriate partner dog is used during any paired trial.

Any questions please ask contact@uksighthoundsport.com
