whip x grey 276 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 So are non ped faster? yes alot faster mate,,,,i knew when my black dog made his height ,,,as far as i can remeber there,s never been a hardblood x grey made that height as a male in scotland in my area ,,,,i knew then,,,bull and bull x grey would make a bee line for him locally thats why i only lined him with a bitch a two or 3 times ,,,,and told others i wont line again they wanted the extra gear and height ,,,,without going to a full grey and maybe making too much height my old dog at 6yearold in summer 20inch ,,,white/ parti still was kicking about on a good run 8.30s,,,in time a ped racer cant get near those times ,,,,at 2year old never mind 6 year old when we were both out my old mooching early morning a month ago,,,,the old dog wont run those speeds,,,hunting up ,,,or he wouldnt be here ,,if we went to an open feild after bigger bunny ,,,then ull see the diffrence ,,,,he,s learnt to drop the gears in rough ground or he would have died along time ago ,,,as it would have been dooging sucide,,,,ur working whip pup will do well,,,,u dont need my dogs speed for rabbits 1 Quote Link to post

chilly 59 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 good little size , is it ped whippet used in the breeding or is it non ped, Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 From what I've been told, ped whippets are a lot smaller than their non ped counterparts. Non ped are the whippet version on linford christie, bred down greyhounds, a lot taller than ped whippets but smaller than greys. Good for a lot of things, racing, working but I'm sure from what I've seen, take a little bit longer to reach speed than a ped(shorter legs, quicker acceleration) and maybe not as agile as a ped. Dont know if I'd get a ped whippet again, non ped or whip x grey sounds like my next choice. Quote Link to post

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 i think they were 3/8 bull 5 /8 whippet, think thats what i heard, might be wrong.! but j /p supposed to be good little dogs for most stuff.! Jason started with the first x has the base for his line, then the 3/4 then the 5/8...........not seen any of the 3/4 or 5/8 work but see a 1st x work a fair bit and she's a cracking little bitch, punches well above her weight.These little dogs are not everybodys cup of tea due to their size but they seem to be popular.

All I wanting it for so can go mooching/ferreting anywere during the day and not getting the jail. Be using for bunnys. After thinking bout whippet x for while I ended up just going down the ped whippet route. Quote Link to post
