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!

not trying to stir it up but this is a genuine question to experienced whippet men. if I want one for ferreting, marking etc. daytime bushing, picking up bolters all round mooching. would a ped or non ped be the better option?

I've only ever seen one Whippet work, belonged to a pal of mine. It was working the lamp after the first 6 or 7 rabbits I was getting bored. Credit where it's due that dog could shift and put a shift in, but after watching it time after time taking rabbits without putting a bend in them it got a bit monotonous and predictable, but if its numbers you're after I guess they the tool for a quick job. Me personally I like to see a dog work put a bend or two in use its gears etc, that feck thing was like a .222 spot and grab. 

That's the only experience I have of seeing 1 work, I guess they are totally different out with the nets and ferrets when you need the quick grab and marking.

Just to add, that night he slipped on something bigger................yup straight liner again ffs.
