Time

[Irish Lurcher 1,013]

Reason I ask this question is because my pup is a flying machine. I was out other nite with both dogs, now my bitch is not slow by any standards, quick to say the least. But when I was doing a spot of light training with them the pup was out running her every time.

 

How fast can a lurcher run? has this been ever clocked?, and what would be classed as a fast time say over 100 meters for a lurcher?

racing greyhound will do 45mph thats on flat ground and only take about six strides to reach it top speed brown hares run between 45 - 50 mph or so iam told so i would reackon a lurcher should be about the same maybe a bit quicker depends the breed dont no if there if some one has timed a lurcher over a 100 meter dash good luck with pup sure others will add to this

would a greyhound not be faster than a lurcher?

SL, I am sure a gh would out run a lurcher anytime, I think.

The greyhound, is the fastest dog in the world.

I dont know just asking, But dont they time the lurcher races at the shows??

[luke 2]

if a hare could run faster than a lurcher it would just straight line them

every time the dog has to be faster than the hare and a shite greyhound

would out pace any lurcher

so what would be the fastest X then???

I would favour a gurt great big, feck off BWRA style race Whippet.....

Or,...a specialist 'sprint Greyhound'....

But only over a measured distance,...and this factor has little to do with the work of a LURCHER.....

Nice to see though....

i would like to see a hare run fifty mph it must have had a rocket up its ass ...

[leec 132]

little bit off topic but i have clocked hares doing 50 plus mph whilst beside them in a suburu

I reckon a Grey X whippet would make the fastest Lurchers over 100 m

 

Add a bit of Collie/Saluki/Bull and they will start to slow down

 

Over 1 km a Saluki X would beat a pure Grey though

you should of vidioed it thats a world record

[luke 2]

if a hare can hit fifty a greyhound must be hitting sixty when you

see how quick it closes on hare given a hundred yards law :whistle:
