Opinions and experiences of running a pure Greyhound...

[samlowe 2]

I had an ex racer when I was kid, more of a pet than a working dog but incredibly game. Same as a few of these lads said on here she was great for 4-6 slips after that she was done lol would just lay down and refuse to move (had to carry her home a few time). Again like others have also said when locked on they don't seem to notice much else mine ran into a few fences before she smashed her wrist, she was never the same after and spent the rest of her days on my sofa. 

Great dog to have around, great temperament, great for a few bunnies but for long session I'd go for something with more stamina all depends what you're after.

I’m a coward and I do plenty with mine a working lurcher is meant to catch things a greyhound will usually do just that they are not bull xs but to say they don’t offer nothing you’ve not seen any work I assume 

 You’d be assuming wrong ive not seen many work the best I’ve seen was a courseing greyhound bitch named lady that was owned by my cousins foster parents that was half decent then a few ex track dogs we used to get hold of an do a bit with in the mid to late 90s a bloke I used to live next door to used to run greyhounds they never used to last recently say in the last 10yrs a mate of mine as had 3 2are dead ones alive still but completely done for. I think greyhounds offer little bar speed an confirmation the rest is from base blood added in my eyes greyhounds lack stamina,feet construction for work trainability for all round work. just my opinion it don’t count for nothing but if straight greyhounds offered what’s needed everyone would have one I’m not saying there won’t be tough well constructed for work greyhounds out there that could take being run regularly behind gear but they would be more rare than a box of frogs

A friend has just put a belgian shepard over a bitch he has, the bitch jumps 5 bar gates, clears double sheep fencing that's 5 foot apart with 2 strands of barbed wire on top, recall is perfect and she ain't shy at getting stuck into stuff. 

Just get  a strong coursing bred dog clear 7 bar gate 40 mile an hour 8 foot dyke with sheep fence 2 strands a wire over side in one  lol you don’t need to go to a shephard for a strong jumper There’s quality hunters already jump better than any shephard Mali

Its a full greyhound bitch that's doing the jumping, id say the shepard has never jumped a garden gate never mind a 5 bar gate. Lol. 

As far as adding that fluffy plodder blood goes he'd rather have me give him 10 kicks up the ass from the front. Lol.

No mate I’ve been out with a good few though like been said on here by lads they great for point and slip on the lamp for a few seen them kill big dog fox hitting them that hard nasty killers

good day time for a few bends always exciting with a oohs and ahhhs

I had a good lamper daytime dog bred from a grey to heavy Sal dog great pot filler but barmy lol  

You have to remember greyhound was always doubled up really even coursing back in day or bet on dog with most bends etc it was never about killing but chasing speed

Not all bull xs are slow just as not all saluki xs are fast, they didn't get the plodder name for being like whippets outta the blocks. Lol.
