Kirislin Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I posted these in the Iggy thread but it's pretty quiet in there and I think this little dog deserves to be seen. Alot of people think Italian Greyhounds are quivering fragile timid little dogs. They are classed as part of the toy group in Australia, but they are true sighthounds and many love to run and chase. Arkey is almost a champion show dog, but his owner doesn't wrap him up in cotton wool, he lets him get out there and do what he wants to do, and Arkey has discovered the thrill of the chase, drag lure racing, and coursing. One day Lure Coursing will be recognised in Victoria and Arkey will excell at it, I have no doubt. Here's some photos of him and all his beautiful, athletic magnificence. :D 5F6A8297_1 by kirislin, on Flickr Crazy psycho running maniac.

Kirislin Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Lure coursing at Wogdogarama yesterday. Arkey is unstoppable, he loves it. 5F6A8598_1 by kirislin, on Flickr 5F6A8559_1 by kirislin, on Flickr 5F6A8602_1 by kirislin, on Flickr 5F6A8603_1 by kirislin, on Flickr 5F6A8604_1 by kirislin, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salukifan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Impressive! Folk might like to start running their dogs without collars. The ANKC rules won't allow them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Impressive! Folk might like to start running their dogs without collars. The ANKC rules won't allow them. These are just private events but we will certainly adhere to the rules once we get to go to any ANKC events. I am looking forward to them getting off the ground.

Loving my Oldies Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Don't know who to admire more: Kirislin for her amazing photographic skills, or Arkey whose beauty and agility are so brilliantly captured by K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyWal Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 There was nothing quivering, fragile or timid about the Iggy that wanted to rip into every dog on a greyhound walk I was on recently I actually thought of Arky as this dog looked exactly like him.
