Starveall Farm, West Ilsley, Newbury, Berkshire, RG20 7DN
Location on what3words is the following: chart.subtitle.flame
Please find below the entry forms for Trials Day. Please note there are two separate forms, one for new dogs starting trialling or in the process of obtaining their lure coursing licence or experienced dogs needing further training, and a separate one for dogs that have licences and can be used as clearing partners. Please 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 2 categories, ‘standard’ and ‘sprinter’. This has nothing to do with the speed of the dog, it is categories for the height!
The maximum height at withers is for Whippet (standard) 51 cm for dogs, 48cm for bitches. The maximum of a whippet (sprinter) is 56cm for dogs, 52cm for bitches
The maximum height at withers is for Italian Greyhound (standard) 38 cm. The maximum of an Italian Greyhound (sprinter) is 41cm.
All whippets and Italian Greyhounds are measured officially prior to licences being issued, however we ask all triallers 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
Due to the earlier date for Team entry deadline being received by the WCC organisers, the procedure for joining Team UK has been altered from invitation to application. This means that instead of invitations being sent to the top qualifiers after the Spring Championships and then spaces being opened to reserves, those hoping for a place on the Team will now be required to apply in advance.
The same points system as used previously will still be used to determine from the applications which dogs will be allocated a position. The League Table showing current points can be seen here https://uksighthoundsport.com/team-uk-2025-current-qualifier-points
Please remember, Spring Championships will be the final qualifier and opportunity to gain points. Winners of the National Championships 2024 automatically qualify, but owner’s will still need to complete the application form to claim the place.
Points for the qualifying period for WCC 2025 (Summer Champs 2024, National Champs 2024 & Spring Champs 2025)
The Top 6 placed UKSS authorised dogs in each class receive in descending order:
10 points, 6 points, 4 points, 3 points, 2 points, 1 point
(owners need to ensure their dogs meet FCI and local requirements)
