They will be slipped and its open to all weights, as long as it is a grey/whip, racers or workers are welcome

 

Sounds good But, and I'm only being "Devils Advocate" now, how will you tell which is Whippet/Grey and which is pure Grey ?? There's a lot of un-tattoed Greys running in the Lurcher racing now.Cheers.

do these whip/greys work, or are purely racers

 

I've owned and seen pleanty work over the years !

 

Cheers.

 

 

 

cheers cp, i never seen 1 work, tho they were used to great effect a fair few years ago were i live now

 

Just my opinion mate, but they were/are thin skinned and prone to foot injuries, not the greatest stamina..... but boy, could they kill a hare !!

Cheers.

they can work and race dotty,,,,,not all as most that tend to breed to race,,,dont hunt,,,,nowadays tends to be the cost off what could be vet bills

 

me on other hand ,,,,i will give them the hunt , but probably not as much as ,,,,the hunting guy,s

 

i did sell ,,,a 3/8ths whip x 5ths grey to my neibour,,,,not for racing,,,just pure rabbit dog,,,i,e catch dog,,,for the tea ,,if u catch my driffed

 

she has her flaws wont retrive,,,,but her stamia,,,,ive never seen the like,s,,,,but she was brought up that way ,,,,hunt for tea,,,stamia,,no issuse to ped whip,,,,,ive asked owner , ( i,e does she have any less stamia than ,,,ur ped whipp,s in past,,,,he laughed,,,theres no diffrence as she was brought up to be the same,,,,,but her speed is a big diffrence to them)

 

in non ped world,,,we somtimes breed to grey for more stamia,,,,,,,( quistion i dont no the anwer to is a pure grey has more stamia to a pure whippet,,,i dont know close call( i dont and will never own the answer),,,,,but 100% grey add,s more power and speed) food for thought dogs are dogs ,,,very verstile,,,,,wotever put in front off them,,with a good owner

its true they have thin skin,,,,,since 2005 ,,,,ive not had that problem, touch wood

 

i did have a small toe problem,,,,,at racing but NEVER chasing prey,,,,zods law

 

but lets not forget ,,,,lurchers tear themselfs and so does working whippets,,,,,,and has toe or feet problems

 

but a non ped as pup or yearling tends to more injuryprone,,,,but after that,,,and a head to them ,,,there no diffrence to a lurcher or working whip,,,,which owners will care not to addmitt ( running dog,s are vet bills wotever the breed,,,,u get exceptions in any breed,,,usally down to luck,,,unless u got a very hard gundog

WhippetxGrey; I'm only saying it as I seen it !! I had Non-Peds in the 60' and 70's and would never knock them; in fact I may get one to race at my local tracks, just for nostalgia !! LOL !! BUT, for all round day to day, (and night to night), working; you're better off with a well bred Lurcher ! The daft thing is; I've heard of more and more owners of pure Deerhounds, pure Salukis and Lurchers wanting to put their bitches to the top Non-Peds...... and I'm sure they will produce some top class dogs !!

 

Cheers.

[whip x grey 276]

iam not disgraring,,,,,lurcher,s are tougher built

 

 

is usally down to speed ,,,making them,,,the better round dog and breed

 

but last summer on here when ground was hard in hight off summer most kept dogs on lead,,,,i dont blame them as ground was very very hard

 

but non peds will still run,,no question

 

 

yes they are more injury prone ,,,,but its down to the running abilitie,,,speed and there stopping distance,,,,,and owner not understanding them,,,,,and the ground they run on,,,,,,i will say nowadays non peds have got harder feet than the grey as non ped runs , hard summer ground,,,,greyhounds run soft sand,,,,,non peds are far from the most injuryprone,,,,as said on hunting life,,,,,thats the point i want to get across,,,,,( and yes working whippet , are injury prone ,,,,which tends to be a close gaurded secert pmsl )

WXG, I'ts been many a year since I had a Non-Ped, and I know you have had some of the best for quite a few years, so I'll bow to your knowledge of them....... but I've still ran a few of them, and hope to run one or two more !! LOL !!
