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
