On September 15 & 16, Silken Windhound owners and their dogs gathered from five states and Ontario to play our little games.   We had 15 dogs competing on the race track on Saturday, and 12 of them on Sunday.  Our first official SW Lure Coursing Trial was also a rousing success with 10 dogs running in open, and another 5 working on their Coursing Instinct titles.
