Thanks everyone for your comments. I feel assured what the breeder said was sound-That the dog can do both lure and show providing they want to. So since I really want to lure how soon should I start with the pup?
Lure Coursing in Scotland!!
-
after our discussions yesterday i have had some success–--the Pedigree Whippet Racing Association holds lure coursing meets in a field next to Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling - sounds pretty central for most of us (bout 1.5 hours away for me) - they meet most sundays, and are happy for us to go along - they did say if there are only a couple of us we can get a chance to try out our dogs.
Also contacted Sue Rose who organises Deerhound lure coursing - she is at Kinross - again she is very happy for us to go along - they have lots of other breeds who turn up and they try to match size weight for coursing.
Dates to be confirmed - so Basi/Benkura/Lurkis/Noodle i will be in touch!

Great News!
It's probably going to be about a 3 hour drive for me, but I'm still up for it. Noticed that there's a Travelodge at Kinross which could come in handy!
I work in retail, so I don't get a lot of weekend time off, but I'm actually off this Sunday. -
This Sunday is my last free Sunday for quite a while (prob Sept). Stirling is about 80 mins drive and Kinross about 3 hours.

That's great news:D Must find a house soon! Both places will be local for me.

Will try and get more details incase you all want to go this sunday. I will be down at Kelso - a gundog club are holding an eye testing session ( i missed out getting Tilly done at SKC) -

made a wee mistake - its racing most sundays at Blair Drummond - they are having a lure coursing day in August. But we could have a go at the racing surely?

Racing sounds good to me!!

Racing would still be good fun:D
