Lurchery rules
and regulations
Please
note that the following rules will be due for review at the end of 2005, after a trial run of
seven months. The organiser Gina Pears would welcome (and be very grateful) for any
feedback, comments or suggestions to improve the league for its members. Any improvements to
the rules will be implemented for 2006.
1. The
league is open to all types of Lurchers (Sighthound X with any other non-sighthound breeds) and
Longdogs (Sighthound X Sighthound). Even if the breeding is not known, say a rescue, as long as
it’s 'Lurchery' it will be allowed in the league!! Photos may be required though!
2. There will also be a separate class/classes for pedigree Sighthounds (also including
Italian Greyhounds) but more info will be available at a later date, depending on the response
from their owners.
3. There will be a yearly fee of £2-00 to cover admin costs, awards etc.
4. There will be separate awards for the following classes-Please note that for example
Starter dogs that gain points in a Novice class at a show, those points will go in their
Starters category in the league and so on for each category.

Clear round points will be awarded even if clear round rosettes are not given out in that class
on the day.
