I have a question. Being new to coursing and as of yet not in a position where I can even own my own hound I would ask what are IG's?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Samira - Borzoi's run differently than Greyhounds and IG's. The original idea was to have a greyhound fun run on Tuesday to find out which greys will/ will not run for the Queen's Run on Friday, especially since we used to have so many untried greys. The non-grey Fun Run on Thursday is for ALL of the other breeds. However, they need to be brought up at different times so that the Borzoi's will not course the IG's. This is how it has been set up in the past and this was the intention all along. We have been planning for other breeds to be present. In addition, each breed is supposed to have 1/2 hour to course in. For example, IG's from 10 - 10:30, Borzoi's from 10:30 - 11. If HRM of Ansteorra specifically requests the ONE dog who has special permission to course on Saturday, I would be agreeable. However, I feel that we need to keep it Grey's only for the Queen's Run (except for this ONE special request). The Queen's run is supposedly put on by the Queen of Meridies. We always send out personal invitations to ALL of the other Queens from HRM Meridies. This will continue, even when the Gulf Wars land is located in the Kingdom of Gleann Abhann (Oct. 05). I do realize, however, that not all of the Meridian Queens have always supported the Coursing. However, the present Queen of Meridies is VERY interested in Coursing and specifically requested that Coursing be present at their Coronation. The Queen's Coursing is for the Royal Packs, which are mainly Greys only in most Kingdoms. I realize that these views might upset some people.

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!
