My whippets. Dam and son

So, bill youre calling green lurchers inexperienced when he's obviously had plenty judging by his posts and pics? 

And you're quoting yourself again ?

One thing I will say since getting one, the humble whippet is very under rated by a lot of lurcher men.

Think bill was just responding to the fact that “green lurcher” was saying racing dogs can only run for 150-240 yards, which is an inexperienced thing to say. The dogs run that distance because that’s the length of the race ? if they had to keep running it be pointless. Think everyone knows a good dogs always in the breeding, can’t make a silk purse outa sows ear! I have pure bred racing dog and it would run all day if a let it, very naive of someone to think it couldn’t just cause it’s a racer!
