robin hood 109 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 A whippet grey would never beat a pure greyhound,off a level start.iv had heard many a time a whippet can beat a grey over a sprint distance,if anyone wants a bet iv a bitch here,no starts just a level break over a sprint distance, Quote Link to post
R.A.W 1,987 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 The fastest lurcher would be bred with mostly greyhound blood and resemble a greyhound in every way apart from a tatoo of course It won't make it the best of course but it depends on the ground and quarry Speed= Distance ÷ Time A dog may look fast but another dog with a slower but longer stride pattern can cover more ground in less time..... .usain bolt Size will be a factor Quote Link to post

Brigzy 1,298 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Robin, what distance do you mean by "sprint" ? Whippet distance, 150 yards or Greyhound distance, 270 metres ? Loves Lockdown and Deneside Belle, both non ped whippet x greyhound, have held greyhound track records over the sprint distance at greyhound tracks, and there are non ped "whippets" that will beat greyhounds over the whippet distance of 150yards. Granted, USUALLY, greyhounds will beat non peds, but, Socks, to say "not a chance"' and "greyhounds will ALLWAYS be faster is not true. There are ALLWAYS exceptions Quote Link to post
