The points system sounds very suspect!! And of COURSE you don't go faster on the courses or climb those steps quickly either - that would be pure madness!! :) :) :)

I wonder if the dog community got together and designated various areas as 'only this type of dog' for aesthetic reasons?

I also know of a person with just one greyhound, though some people who live nearby have two lurchers. They did start with just one, but then after a while a second turned up!! Actually, back in the day when they only had one, the lady was taking it for a walk around the block on a really cold and icy day. The dog kept pulling back towards the house - and when they reappeared after having been round the block, the dog was pulling towards the house! Sensible dog!! :)
