As you know, we will have Borzoi at Gulf War this year. There will also be a Scottish Deerhound that is not an "official" breed this year (although we have permission for the breed, and I wouldn't turn away any others that want to come). The Deerhound is a nationally- rated mundane coursing hound.
My first question is: at the moment, we have two "fun runs" set up: one for Greyhounds, one for IG's....although the text for the latter reads "breeds other than Greyhounds". My own personal inclination is to include the Borzoi and SD with the Greyhounds, rather than the IG's. Two reasons...I don't know how used the other dogs are to tiny dogs, and also their size would be more suited to a course designed for Greyhounds than to one set-up for IG's. Secondly, since the Deerhound has been specifically requested by HRM Ansteorra (the hound is evidently part of Her retinue), I anticipate that She will want the dog to attend the Queens' Coursing. Now the Queens' Packs have traditionally been all Greyhounds, but part of our job is to keep the Queens happy. So, if Ansteorra desires it, should we allow the Deerhound at the Queens' Coursing? And if we do, what about the Borzoi, who are owned by the same gentle as the Deerhound? Personally, I'd allow it, but I've always been a bit of an iconoclast, and I don't want to step on TOO many toes. After all, HRM Ansteorra can't do anything to ME....unless she decides to move to Midrealm. You people I have to live with. <G> Samira ------------------------ Yahoo!
