Oh that his first hand experience not science waffle what would you call a long run seven minutes three minutes they can look an age and be a mere two whippets are capable of and in some cases more in baking heat which means they are allready a cool animal much in the same has a saluki but less extensive through evolution terms saluki environment whippet evolutionary environment..get ya self a hip pet they come in all shapes and sizes and surprisingly performance Neva judge a breed u less one has knowledge on the full spectrum of them it would be like saying all Salukis are plodders and all greyhound are fast, but that just ain't true variables in all I have seen whippets slower off the mark than staffs over twenty paces but loads a top end and stamina what yas rynning now a greyhound lol .atb bunnys I'm surprised they are not winning coursing matches across the board with such powers ?. I've ran whippets, greys and there hybrids for a few years and find whippets to be great up and at em dogs with sensible slips but if the run goes on? Its horses for courses to my mind.

two crows 3,342 Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 some interesting theories, whippets always had more stamina than grey hounds that's a fact, where I grew up there was loads of whippet raceing, and if you wanted more pace in your lurchers that's what you went to, and stamina /recovery was never a problem, ok my dogs had saluki in them but I still think the whippet played a huge part, the fawn bitch was from my sal x beddy lurcher bitch to a good non ped racing whippet dog this bitch had bags of stamina and great recovery other bitch is off her to a related dog, so same way bred but not direct whippet no difference, long way to say it but I think all the training in the world wont improve your dog enough to make any real difference, its in its breeding. 7 Quote Link to post

But your dogs are hybrid bred and lurcher x lurcher will always not bad wind , but being honest mate when you got more than 2 breeds in a mix, you can never really tell what a pup picked up from the breeds in there , you can have 1xs lik my 2 dogs , ive been lucky as both have picked up the other base line that collie in one , and gsd in the other, it could have gone the other way, and the greyhound could have kicked in regards the engine room .

two crows 3,342 Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 back when I was a boy most of the whippet men worked their dogs as well, not many greyhound men do, and I think its that that has made the whippet a better animal. 5 1 Quote Link to post
