Irish's profile
 
This is typical Irish; he is full of life and can’t contain his enthusiasm to run. And I can barely contain him!
 
Ever the photogenic one; Irish running at the 2006 II in Colorado where he got 2nd in his FCH flight.
 
He has been to every II since he was 2 years old,
placing at every one, taking Breed once.
 
Always too near the pulleys for my taste!

Irish's Pedigree (from The Whippet Archives)

OFA Cardiac Normal (WP-CA58/22M/C-PI)

Irish ran in 32 trials in his long career, winning 12 first placements, 4 at ASFA's International Invitational and 6 Best of Breeds, one at the International Invitational. One of my most thrilling moments as a breeder/owner. Running competitively until he was 8 years old, Irish only was out of the placements 4 times. Irish takes my breath away when he lure courses, his long stride and graceful movement are wonderful to watch. Irish is 9 now, and though it kills me and him, he is retired from Lure coursing. He is still my baby boy.

April 2007: Irish went to the AWC National in Kansas where he was second in his flight at the lure course!

2003 ASFA II - BOB (100+ whippets), 2003 NOTRA National Top 10, 2004 ASFA II flight winner, 2004-2005 NOFCA whippet Top 10, 2005 Grand Course Top 10, Multiple NOTRA meet winner, 12.5 NOTRA National Points, #3 lifetime OTR whippet, earned his FCh in 3 trials and his LCM in 11 trials, only taking anything less than 2nd place twice.
