There are quite a few non ped/ whippet racing groups on facebook. i should imagine you will get people who breed/sell pups on some of them. 1 Quote Link to post

C.green 3,231 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Id love one for the odd bit of ferreting and running in tight grassy places. Do many folks get through the season with just the one giving them a few runs here and there ? Quote Link to post

keepitcovert 842 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Used to race sunday mornings at my local club, closed down 20 years ago, was great fun dual purpose dogs, racing sun morning out rabbiting on the other days. There was a magazine called the whippet news that gave all the club news and info on open meetings, but like any competitive event the backbiting and all the allegations of doping soon reared its head. Askern was a good stadium for racing the bends there were some bloody fast dogs in those days popular track with the travellers. Claud my mate bred his 32lb bitch to a 24 lb dog the bitch he kept levelled out at45lb and mine hit 43, you really need to know the dogs lineage. atb. Quote Link to post

Busher100 740 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 If I'm right they're bred as light as possible as they're handicapped yards for pounds. There has been Plenty of 20 pound dogs Quote Link to post
