Longdog actually if were being pedantic 

What if the dog wasn't that long? What could people call it then?

I've often thought that there's two running dog "types" that could be considered "breeds" in their own right;

The coursing dog and the non-ped whippet.

They both breed true to type and can trace their "pedigree's" way, way back.

Could they be registered as "The British Coursing Hound", and "The British Race Dog" ?

On second thoughts; I wouldn't want the Kennel Club getting their hands on them and ruining them, so perhaps best to just leave it as it is ! LOL !

Cheers.

Kennel club would probably improve modern coursing dogs.

 

Only joking before anyone goes off on one

Is that the lad that does the nighthunter whippet YouTube channel selling those pups? Sounds like his mrs or something doing the advert the way it’s worded? Needs f***ing off instantly if it is people like him aren’t proper dog men they’ll be the ruination of working lines.

What lines ? There just whippets with dodgy owners

I've found my white,what I call a whippet but is 1/4 grey has a different running style to pure whippets I've owned.Even though only 32 pound she is way more greyhound when running although quick off the mark,so the running style may be a way to classify a running dog?

I wonder how many will actually pay that for them? 

Only yanks  the gullible and folk with far too much money. .  They wouldn’t get any where in the show. ring  except a country show and are unproven on the coursing field  over time , guessing they havnt raced at the many clubs.or it will be documented in all three disciplines most whippets catch rabbits only a very few are very good at that day n night ,  So it’s only the blue factor they going on lol
