GREWS

[whip x grey 276]

 

This grew is 7 months old, and is far to young to be slipped imo, the lads more excited than the pup. CLICK ON PICTURE

 

i didnt relise that was a video clip,,,,iam abit thick, ,,,very impressive for 7month old dog,,,,,bearing in mind even dogs that ran in waterloo cup videos didnt always catch,,,,,, daytime--- grews are one off the best in smaller feilds,,,,as they have the speed to turn game back in feild ,for all too see ,,,rather than out off sight

One of the greatest brood bitches in the history of Non-Ped Whippet racing was a bitch called "Young Lucy"; she was mated to various sires; Biko, Blue Fawn and I think, Good as Gold. She threw many Racing Champions and some of the best Scratch Dogs ever ! She was variously described as being Collie/Grey, and Whippet x Collie/Grey; but one thing is certain; she had pleanty Collie in her !! I bought a pup from A. Pickup in 1972, by "Darly Fly" a Bilko dog, and out of "Susan", (Blue Fawn x Young Lucy). Apart from being a top class racer, he was also one of the best "Lurchers" I've had, until he met an untimely death, being shot by a 'keeper while out hare coursing ! So, for sure, way back in the Non-Peds is a few other breeds apart from Whippet and Greyhound !

 

Cheers.

so are they just lurchers then some of them

 

YOU stop trying to start on a argument in a so far non argument topic (so far )

 

in alot off ways u have apoint yes they were sort off lurcher,s before they were longdog,s and highly tuned for speed (just whips and greys-- but thats not a bad thing,,)

 

ive been invited out in 2weeks with my grews,,,,ill take my old white one ,,,and they might be a few more recent pic,s off him then ,,,ill take my pocket cam corder with me ,,,but iam sh@te with it but ill try,,,,if there,s game to be had on the day,,,ill see if i can get few pic,s up,,,,iam one off them non ped racers that aint shy ,,,off giving my racers a go at game ,,,far from it ,,,its in my blood ,,there was 3 gamekeeper,s in my family (we were not the best ,but its in our blood i,e hunting )

 

(pll,s with grews dont arugue,,,,as they are ,,,what they are ,,,quick take off (rockets on speed ) some fair good ,,,some meet a early grave ,,,but they do what it say,s on tin,,,,,go for it,,,and not the lack off trying ( race or hunt )

ok bob you spoil sport was there not bull added to the blood aswell looking more like lurchers than grews change the topic fast lurchers lol ONLY JOKING GUY,S BIT FUN BUT IT IS TRUE

lots of bits of this and that were added to the non ped whipp but like with all good stock only the very best were used at stud ,from one end of britain to the other asport withthousands of folk wanting to achieve a race champgave us dogs from the past wich i believe will not be seen the likes of again .the times of gone by days had a bearing on these animals what were produced .i know we have great fast grews still out there those that race and some still used tocatch for the pot,these animals havehave steeped history behind them and deserveall the plaudits one can give them . THANKS for the picsfrom the past mr whip grey enjoyed this topic imensily all the best bunnys

I have 3 lurchers with Indian Joe the grandsire, 2 of them are sired by RCH Dennis the Menace.
