Border Collie x greyhound or beardie/border x greyhound, if you want to down size collie/greyhound x whippet.

 

Kelpie x greyhound or kelpie/greyhound x whippet.

whats sort of land you gonna be running over, will help!

I wouldnt get a whippet to put miles in. Loose condition easy. Running dogs don't need miles put into them, but I suppose depends how far you call miles lol

[harerunner 10]

First cross collie grey bitch about 24tts plenty brain great stamina great feet and bone

i would have to differ there ,..........whippets can go miles with ease and if you feed them the right grub , there condition shouldnt be to bad ................

but there weight does go up and down very easy ,...............plenty of fatty grub like lamb and tripe should make them run all day imo

[poacher28 120]

a good lurcher should run miles no matter what cross it is, wether it during daylight hrs bside a pedal bike or at night lamping, so i think it would be down to you to pick what type you like most and try get the best out of the dog , thats all you can do

good luck finding what your after mate

[shaunpowell 130]
