fastest off the start?

[Pops 19]

what cross will consistantly be the fastest for the first 20-30yards? because of the small open areas and the short distance game comes from the heavy cover i need one that can blast out the gate like a drag car.

A racing bred whippet will be fastest on short bursts, what are you hunting as this will be an important factor in what cross to use. A whippet will be quick on the draw but outgunned by a Yote. Although my coursing buddy did tell me of a whippet his dad used on Yotes with staghound backup, it tripped them and messed with them until the stags showed up!

In the Uk a good all round cross for bushing would be a whippet x collie or whippet x bull or cross of the two.

A greyhound/whippet would surely be faster???????

A racey 3/4 grey 1/4 bull very fast off the mark

[marko 30]

any sort of whippet i would think nothing to touch it over the first 30 yds pedigree or non pedigree there just rockets and not carrying much weight mates whippet is a laguna and lightning fast over first yards even against my small lurcher but after that and she is in her stride theres no contest a greyhound whippet may well be faster but not of the mark i reckon.

a whippet or whippet X greyhound would be ideal

[Pops 19]

thanks all. the salukiXgrey i have is slow off the start. he's game and all and he did grab a couple of fox last season but the deer don't come as far into the open.

[whip x grey 276]

unsure about 30/40 yards i think bwra whippets would be at the top end off the table at starting ability

 

brother,s bwra 32lb whippet x grey did ---8.19 secounds last week for 150 yards,,,,her fastest time was 8.09 secounds for that distance

 

there,s a 25lb whippet at club at momment doing 8.28 secounds last week 150 yards

 

 

 

and lets not forget the race breed greyhound open class watched a greyhound who raced a car round a track,, on top gear,,,they had all the technolagy i presume,,,they reckon that greyhound almost reached its top speed in 6 strides out off trap
