There are plenty top class, extremely fast non-ped "whippets", bred from top non-ped whippets x greyhound.

Im not sure if they could be called "f 1" as the sires will most likely have some greyhound in their make up, so possibly will be slightly more greyhound than whippet.

Perhaps this is the type of stud dog you're after ?

Cheers.

Yes, so did I, but the "non-ped" whippets aren't " pure " as most have some greyhound in them. 

So a non-ped whippet x greyhound shouldn't be called an "F1", but they would certainly be "grews".

But that's just my opinion.

Cheers.

I'm in the same situation, mate. Recently had an old Beddy type put down, and my deer x is over 11 and retired, so I need at least one new dog.

Im 68 now, so the next dog I get may well be my last one.

Theres plenty of choice of well bred pups, bred from genuine workers out there, so making the decision isn't easy and shouldn't be rushed.

Good luck, whatever you choose.

Cheers.

The racing "whippet" which was the dam of my collie x whippet was 3/4 whippet 1/4 greyhound but, in addition to this, there was a collie x greyhound about four generations back on the "pure" whippet side. Fortunately, the breeder was open about it and it was all written down on the pedigree she supplied me with...not that I'd have been that worried seeing as there was also a pure collie on the other side anyway. Although, once again, I say pure but she was sired by Hancock's Tory who was Richard Jones x Katie so 1/4 beardie, 1/4 border, 1/2 Dartmoor collie (or 1/4 beardie 3/4 border for those who don't believe in Dartmoor collies.)

Here's the "pedigree" of one of the best non-ped, racing whippets I had back in the early 70's.

You can see it had collie/greyhound three generations back;

Pot Black;

Some of those names ring a bell, particularly Blue Peter and Bilko so maybe the lines were similar. Thanks for the information Chartpolski. If memory serves me well, Skye's dam was called Sui and her racing name was Mermaid.
