TEAM UK WCC 2025 APPLICATION

December 3, 2024 / Lina / 0 Comments

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.

2023 FCI World Championship & CSS World Winner event – Kristianstad, Sweden

July 28, 2023 / Lina / 0 Comments

On 29th June UKSS Team UK took 22 dogs to Kristianstad, Sweden for the World Coursing Championships.
Amongst the team everyone had their own travel routes. Some took a longer journey to take in sightseeing, holidays, breed shows or other coursing events but all finally came together at the venue to celebrate the opening ceremony of this epic event.
18 nations ran 809 hounds over 4 different courses during the 5 day competition and Team UK had some amazing successes, punching well above our weight for such a small entry.
UK dogs scooped podium prizes in 5 categories including first place in CSS Saluki mixed and Galgo Español mixed. It was a poignant moment at the nightly awards ceremony as the Union Jack flag was raised to ‘God Save the King’.
In other classes, such as CACIL Salukis, achieving a high place in a field of 60 entries was an enormous achievement and celebrated by the team.
There were lows too of course with vetting issues and a phenomenal whippet run followed by withdrawal due to injury.
What was most uplifting was the goodwill from UKSS members following the event from home, and team support which was fantastic; cheering on every high and sharing the disappointments. Laughter, tears, hugs, puppy-cuddles and high-fives… it was exactly what a team should be.

The European Championships 2021 Een Netherlands

December 12, 2021 / Lina / 0 Comments

We had a total of 26 dogs entered for this years Championships. We were unsure how or if we would be able to attend due to the strict covid rules in place but thankfully a couple of weeks before the event the rules changed allowing us to enter the Netherlands.

Our team members have had to jump through many hoops to get here with testing Animal Health certificates etc but it was all the worth it in the end .

Due to seasons, covid and unforseen circumstances we eventually ended up with 20 dogs running.

On the first day our Ibizan Hound and our Eight Sprinter Whippets ran.

Overnight we had a terrible storm leaving the running grounds underwater. A decision was made by the committee to wait for the water to subside on the two sand courses and run all dogs once. Not ideal but under the circumstances the right decision.

All the dogs ran their hearts out, no podium places for our sprinters this year but our wonderful Ibizan, Iko, Ch No Ch SE Ch Abbotsoak Music of the Nite owned by Robin Sayles achieved 5^th place on the podium. We were on a high.

Day 2 and the weather was better and our three Salukis were running. Again all three ran beautifully and what a wonderful surprise for Lynn Ward and Nicolefarhi Del Borghino (IMP ITA) gaining another 5^th Place on the podium. Natasha Hamiltons Alishamar Roxanne (IMP BEL) finished in 7^th place a great result for Nicole and Artemis.

Day three was dry for our six Standard Whippets. Young Tinto Harerunner Hurricane Fly, owned by Alec and Sharon Dalgleish ran his socks off to gain yet another podium for Team UK this time a 4^th place.

Three days three podium places what could our Afghans do.?

They definitely had the best weather. A frost in the morning and glorious sunshine all day. Paula Woodwards Halo, Laavas Opportunity Scents day set off beautifully and ran the first half of the course really well but an unfortunate incident saw her eliminated for the day so it was all down to Elaine Booths Caspar , Way Up Travis Scott( IMP ITA) He ran beautifully both times and finished in the top half of the Afghan results both the team and Elaine were very proud of him.

There was great team support for all our runners each day and we made sure there was always someone watching and cheering all our team members.

Thank you to all our team for making this a very special Championships.

We can now look forward to Finland 2022
