International Silken Windhound Society Racing Program

ISWS racing is a performance test open to ISWS registered Silken Windhounds. The program has been modeled upon the very successful Large Gazehound Racing Association program for breeds other than Whippets, and which ISWS hopes that Silken Windhounds will eventually become eligible to race with. In the meantime we offer ISWS racing in an easy to understand format that those who participate in LGRA will be familiar with. Check back often for news, results or updates. Many thanks go to the LGRA clubs that are allowing ISWS meets to be held alongside their LGRA meets.

ISWS Race Director: Mike Leach
ISWS Racing Liaison: R. Lynn Shell-Whitlock
ISWS Racing Registrar: Bobbie Deis
