Whippets and Salukis,, sometimes known as the Arabian Greyhound are also very fast with Whippets reaching speeds of 35 miles per hour. Greyhounds may be the fastest breed but Whippets are the fastest accelerating dog in the world. https://www.rover.com/blog/uk/greyhound-vs-whippet-whats-the-difference/ over 40m your greyhound is eating dust 1 Quote Link to post

micky 3,325 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Back in the 60s i saw a small Whippet Bitch catch 12 Winter Rabbits on the bounce ! they were not in a beam or been or bolted by Ferrets they had been put up by a Spaniel from Hedge's and Woodlands at a place called Mount , St , Bernards Abbey near Whitwick , for Rabbiting in the Midlands i have never saw a dog that come close to it .. 2 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,130 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I've written before about a very small racing grey bitch we had when I was young. She was smaller than my whippet lurchers and was never beaten out of the box, she won a lot of races, city and country. I put it down to her smaller more muscular build. I still doubt she was quicker than my blue whippet/staghound, off the mark or longer run. Quote Link to post
