Bitch , all it is I went up to Anglesey last year to get a pup which I was told was a beddy whippet x greyhound but she looks really deerhoundy and shes 26 1/2 tts

I'd say bitches about 25-26, dogs about 28, average. there's obviously bigger or smaller, across the whole spectrum of distances that they specialise in too. Seen some pretty smallish distance dogs, and some monsters, same thing with sprinters.

A lot of lurcher pup breeders have a vivid sense of imagination when they describe their pups breeding. There could and usually is, all sorts of breeds in a lurcher pup's background.

That's what I was thinking. Average bitch 26". Average dog 28". Average greyhound 27". There abouts.

How was it bred

I had a yearling bitch given to me because despite qualifying for a couple races she was too small for the track 23ins fawn bitch

My dad and his mate owned a cracking black sprint bitch of 23 1/2" in 1977-78. Did very well from 280 - 320 yards. Went unbeaten in her first six races, and was second in her seventh. She was pretty good off the track too.

Edited to add, that she finished racing at just over 4 years old, before being run on any live quarry.

C G, don't know if you're up on the pedigrees of some of the older greyhounds, but she was an Irish bred bitch, her racing name was 'cute charm'
