At his first birthday party, Willie entered his first Lure Coursing event. That day, he won the Breed, the 5-point major, and outran the whippet to take home the Best in Field!

At his first show, he was Winner’s Dog at the specialty--which he repeated the next day, earning both of his majors. Since then, he has shown only 2 weekends and earned points both times.
