i suppose it doesnt really matter. all dogs different shape and sizes will run in a different style. all have there ups and downs and if you run a dog mainly on bigger game it will have a style of running to suit it and then if you change it to smaller game it will have to change its style of running. it all varies.

IMO it doesn't matter how well or not a dog may be bred: if it is the wrong shape or has a shape which doesn't work with the ground or quarry its running or what is in the dog's head then yes, the dog may be good for a season, but in the end that wrong shape will let the dog down and it will be crippled by muscle and tendon damage early on in its career.

 

I once had a very lightly built, fast bitch who had a Bulldog inside her head! She'd try and smash through anything to get any quarry and I had to put her down at the age of 2 years old when she dislocated her stifle joint completely after she had run and caught some big quarry: then even with the stifle dislocated she tried to run another before I could get her back on the lead!!

I have had this problem twice with lurchers bred back to streight greyhounds.Its one of the reasons i tend to favour lurcher to lurcher breeding.atb dell
