OUR HISTORY AND OUR FUTURE
Since 1984, AAWC has been a Breed Club dedicated
to hosting lure coursing trials for all Sighthound breeds in the San
Antonio - Austin - Dallas/Fort Worth areas. Never a large
club, we presently have less than twenty five members who put on
more lure coursing trials in our geographical region than any other
performance or breed-designated club in Texas. In 2007 and
2008, AAWC was listed in the ASFA TOP 10 for both number of trials
hosted and number of entries received by all clubs around the
country, and we generally can expect between 40 and 60 hounds to be
in attendance at any given trial.
In 2007, AAWC proudly expanded its performance activities to include
Whippet straight-track racing under the privileges of the
Continental Whippet Alliance. We are the first Club to offer CWA
Racing to Whippets South of Kentucky, East of California and West of
Illinois. This is to say, Whippets used to have to go a long
distance to compete in CWA. But no longer as AAWC is committed to
hosting two weekends of racing a year.
Finally, in 2009, AAWC
will host its first AWC approved and AKC recognized Whippet breed
specialty in conjunction with the summer San Antonio circuit.
Ideally, by offering coursing, racing and conformation events, AAWC
will advance the unique and valuable versatility that our breed is
so well known to possess.
