A good little un will always beat a good big un

A good little un would have to run twice as hard An couldn’t compete with a good big un of energy left in the tank after hard running unless the lands a shoe box size  blacky the little un could turn better but once a b line comes in to play on open land the bigger dog with more stride would get the prize big or small quarry medium sized dogs is the way forward get all angles covered ??

Don’t know about that if you compare distance with say a whippet an a greyhound who is likely to do distance before one starts to burn out an slow up it’s kind of like saying a little bedlington whippet will out class a decent size collie greyhound at the numbers crack on the beam or a whippet would make a better coursers dog than a saluki/greyhound or a bull whippet would make a dedicated foxers dog over a medium to lager type but as most run medium to large it tells you what’s the better option or they’d all be running bull whippets

poxon, a whip has more stamina than a grey

Measured on the 150-300yards a whippet is expected to race before it burns out against the up to 750 yards a greyhound runs before it burns out ?

Having raced whippets and greys a grey runs 480 once a week  where as my ped whippets at the bends champs 240 yds but would run a heat a 1/4 final a semi and then a final that is nearly 1000yds in a day so debatable

There is 1000 yard races for greyhounds. ?
