Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Nothing to do with people disagreeing with me. There will always be and always has been 23" whippets even from dogs that are 20" themselves. Call me a clown whatever u like but the simple fact remains pure whippets have produced 23" dogs, just because their 23" don't mean there not a whippet. Same as greyhounds go as low as 23", just because their usually 26+ don't mean they ain't greyhounds. I really could go on all day about various other breeds lol Quote Link to post

slip lead 862 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 You can't be to sharp fella if ya think a whippet turns into a greyhound if it grows bigger than a kennel club or coursing club stated size.. Quote Link to post

LOL,s ask all those boys that bought the pit bulls years ago off him, I have been in the house whilst PEDs were made up, ghost litters,etc, the same with the famous SUNNY of Darren Gallagher, his dog is never a full whippet,anything over 21TTS has something else other than whippet in its make up,probably a small greyhound been bred down, Gamerooster I totally agree with you and I used to attend those Whippet coursing meets, WM 1 Quote Link to post

mally 832 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 My dog Sagar is 21 1/2" His Mother Vixen 20 1/2" I used nice typey, strong, show bred stud dogs to produce both mainly because none of the lads i asked with 'working whippets' at the time would let me see there dogs work before i used them over my bitch 'Vixen' and before her, her mother Jess.Whippets have got bigger over the years, go to any kennel club show and take a look at them. You'd struggle to find a dog in the ring under 20" and also struggle to see a bitch under 19"I like a stronger type that can take a knock or two in the field and most importantly retrieve to hand, not stand over it expecting you to walk to them.I've been more than happy with both Vixen and Sagar, although there getting on a bit now there still catching most days wether that's fur or feather. I've only ever bred a litter for a pup myself, that's why i only bred the one litter from Vixen. Sagar and Vixen 19 Quote Link to post

Sagar and Vixen Nice dogs.Also the show bred stuff has coursing lines right way through most of them and they have far better stamina than non ped ones. But you already knew that.. Quote Link to post
