Nothing planned mate, but the lads put up a lot of videos of pups and dogs on my WhatsApp group, and who knows, one might take my eye when I’m over . Weve had a few sent over, the greyhound dam to my bitch, a beddy/ greyhound, a whippet. Cheers.

The only thing guaranteed is that I’ll be over to see you lads providing nothing catastrophic happens. I’ve even been looking at airlines that let you bring a pup back as hand luggage! Cheers.

It’s not my rules .There’s not a non- ped owner I know who runs hares, they are racers , mc is throwing out the challenge, he says his dog is faster than a non/ped, why on earth would they want to run a hare ? Cheers.

I’ll have a look at the race calendar and see what’s on in about 8 weeks time. It will probably be at Horden in Durham or Westerhope or Wallsend in Newcastle. The three I mentioned are six year old, so about the same as your dog. Also, Max has just told me he will match you with his lurcher bitch ; a race on the track over 150; 175 or 200yards and match you on a hare . This is nothing to do with you racing a non- ped, that’s separate. Cheers.

You said surely 200 yards is too short. Now you’re saying it should be lure coursing. Why ? Non-Ped whippets run over 150-200 yards.they don’t run over long distance and they don’t lure course. mC says his dog is faster than a non-ped. I didn’t challenge him; every time I mention non-peds he jumps straight in telling us his dog is faster, so it’s simple, come and race one ! Or we could give his dog a timed trial , every race is timed by a handicapper. Either way, I’m happy , I’ll even try to get a dog the same age as his to race him. Ive never said a non-ped is better

The excuses are starting ! LOL ! Cheers.

It’s my thankless task of trying to educate my protege’, mate ! Im a stubborn old f****r, I’ll not give up ! LOL ! Cheers.

None of the dogs will be 26 1/2” mate. The bitch that won is about 23” , the dog is at the upper limit, about 25”, but there are dogs and bitches around 20” 32lb that will beat any coursing bred over 150-200 yards. The dogs I went to see yesterday are the scratch dogs , the fastest there is, the record holders. Ive seen the racing lurchers over the years that thought they could beat them…they couldn’t ! A lad who claimed he had the fastest lurcher in the UK and Ireland came to our track and go nowhere near the track record holder and a 24lb racing champion bitch did a better

I’ve got a load of moody 20’s, should be ok ! LOL ! Cheers.

Or they could say it’s the bailiff come to move Charts on ! LOL ! Cheers.

There’s two whippet tracks near me and both welcome lurchers. Cheers.

I used to be very argumentative, but as I’ve got older I’m getting more like my late son who was a diplomat in the British Consulate in Saudi Arabia, so see , you CAN teach an old dog new tricks ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Doubtful. Cheers.

So are my grannies…. Cheers.

How many times have I got to say it ? THE NON-PED WHIPPET IS THE FASTEST DOG OVER THE SPRINT DISTANCE OF 150-200 YARDS !!! Stop trying to move the goal posts you know that won’t work with me ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Was your granny Flo Jo ? Cheers.

Mate, we tried putting a bit of lurcher into the non-peds years ago , it didn’t work. If these coursing breds are faster than non-peds, why aren’t we racing them instead ? mC seems to think the non-peds are the little, shivering roach back pedigree types, they are not, they are 100 years of breading the fastest whippets with the best greyhound blood to get a race dog that is phenomenal over the sprint distance. They are miniature greyhounds, and some not so miniature ! LOL ! I had a non- ped in the very early 70’s and it’s grand dam was a collie/grey; For the last 5

If you’re talking to me , we don’t do 250 straight, you’d need a greyhound track for that. I can arrange a race over 150, 175 or 200yards on a whippet track. I said these were the fastest dogs over 150-200 yards….dont be moving the goalposts ! LOL ! Cheers.

Did you ever meet my mate Dave ? He’s a pal of Gerrard and Billy, he’s been over a few times, he got a real Wheaton off the lads years ago. I met Billy when he was over here . Cheers.
-
I’m really looking forward to it mate, Gunter will tell you they are some lads I’ll be staying with ! Cheers.
-
That “whippet “ is 25” and 50lb ! LOL ! Cheers.

C’mon ! My protege is so unfit it would be a mismatch , I’d punch him that many times he’d think he was surrounded ! I’d put that many nuts on him he’d think he was a palm tree ! LOL ! He’s ok mate, just misguided ! Im trying my best to educate him…. but it’s bloody hard work ! Cheers.

I was at an Open Whippet event today. I went to see the dog that Max has just lined his bitch with. Anyhow, the dog and its two litter sisters were in the final of the Veterans Scratch Race . One of the bitches was the winner with the dog second . The bitch did 8.04 seconds over 150 yards. There was about 1 1/2 yards between the three of them. The record is 7.96 seconds, held by the dog. So that bitch at six years old was just 0.08 of a second outside the record. Any of these three would make any coursing bred look like it was running backwards. Now, don’t start about “slo

I’ve had to good a day to bite mate ! Have a go at Bangers, he’s feeling left out ! LOL ! Cheers.
