To be eligible to participate in the North American Whippet Racing Association Race Program, a Whippet must be individually registered to race as an adult, or litter registered to race as a puppy, by the American Kennel Club or the Canadian Kennel Club, and a copy of such registration must be filed with the Association's Registrar-Recordkeeper, prior to being permitted to race. Individual registration shall be required to be filed with the Association's Registrar-Recordkeeper prior to a Whippet being first entered for adult racing.

You can register your whippet for racing in NAWRA in one of two ways:

1) Scan a copy of your dog's AKC or CKC registration and e-mail that along with owner's name, address, phone number and email, and the dog's call name to:

Leanne Harrington, harril3@comcast.net

2) Mail a copy of your dog's AKC or CKC registration, owner's name, address, phone number and email, and the dog's call name to:

Leanne Harrington
3330 NE Peerless Pl.
Portland, OR 97232

A one time registration fee of $2.00 will be collected by the host club when the Whippet enters its first adult race meet.

An alternative way for the dog to be registered would be to give the race secretary a copy of the dog's registration papers and the registration fee on the day of the meet.

Once processed, all new registrations submitted to the Registrar-Recordkeeper are listed in the Unentered NAWRA Registry (FTE Registration Numbers); those whippets registered through a race secretary are noted in the grading guide update following the race meet; this document is dated and accessible from the NAWRA home page.
