Been a good few coursing types with a lump of whippet in em and still his and got very good wind but there yas go I know doubt you know better tit.atb bunnys

In answer to your previous query at the mo I’m running a coursing type  

but I do have a little experience of whippets and their hybrids as well as greyhounds and have run both in conjunction,  in truth I wouldn’t particularly want either as working dogs. Pure greys are just too much of a racing machine and whippets don’t have the size for the lamping that I do and alas it would be much the same for my day time stuff. A hybrid betwixt the two would be nearer the mark but with this breeding it’s a gamble on the stamina side, a high percentage lack stamina for longer stuff, and I’ve had enough of gambles of late losing a ¾ whippet with too much heart and not enough stamina recently.

 

Prior to this spent many a time with a few of my brothers dogs, pure whippets, and had good fun with them chasing long ears over the years but unless the law was much reduced they weren’t really reliable catchers, as ever its horses for courses.  Indeed  my first ever lurcher, 50 years ago, was a 1^st cross whippet X collie,  lovely bitch taught me more than I knew and forgave my many mistakes but alas to slow to catch a cold, straight lined by rabbits… since then two of my favorite lurchers  have had a 1/4 whippet and both were decent dogs but had no more stamina than others without the whippet.

I’d agree that many whippets do punch well above their weight but in reality doing this day in day out is not a realistic choice so I’d stick to my ¼ whippet in a mix being enough, bringing the size/body mass  down can aid recover but then again so can breeding for a lighter built larger dog.

As for science waffle I’m always open to learning, 30 years ago I thought myself very knowledgeable about running dogs but have since learned that there’s always room for improvement and something new to learn. Better to be ready to learn more than it is to know it all.

Regards hartly.
