If its 3/4 greyhound 1/4 deerhound then it's not a lurcher

Mate had a heavily greyhound blooded lurcher that used to beat greyhounds regular at a flapping track. He was a fast lurcher that was beating slow greyhounds but would never of had a look in with decent greys.

Technically it’s a long dog, not a Lurcher.

There's been non-ped whippets such as Memphis Belle and Loves Lockdown, that have beaten greyhounds and broken track records at Greyhound tracks, but to be fair, they have a fair bit of Greyhound in them and are almost as big as greyhounds. Also it's usually the sprint distance , 270-300 yards they win over, not the longer distances.

I remember matching a non-ped Whippet, Robbo, (Bilko x Frozen Kill ), against a Greyhound, over 150 yards on a whippet track and winning by about two yards. Emboldened, I was then suckered in to a return match over 270 yards at a Greyhound track for a far larger bet.

The Whippet led up to the first bend then the Greyhound took over and won easily! Ahh, well, I was young but soon learned ! !

There are whippets, lurchers and long dogs that have beaten greyhounds, but they are the exception rather than the rule, a good Greyhound will beat any other type of dog normally

Cheers.

A long dog; there's nothing in there to slow it down, it's running dog to running dog. If it was 1/4 terrier or collie blood then its a different game

Technically you are correct, but being rather pedantic.

One of these was deerhound/Greyhound, the other was Beddy/grey x deer/grey-Whippet/grey, but for the sake of simplicity I called them both lurchers.

Cheers.

Not being pedantic at all; it's not a lurcher, it's a completely different animal. If it was 1/4 bull or collie it would have been a different story. Just look at the 'professional' show racers and they all use long dogs not lurchers; they're a faster animal with less 'wastage'

No, they don't all use longdogs; I'll give you just four examples out of many.......there was a lad I know very well, used to be a member on here, who won almost every big lurcher race in the UK and Ireland with his 1/6th collie x 15/16th greyhounds.

And how about Markbrick ? He won countless races with his collie/Greyhound/whippets.

Or Geoff Fletcher with his Beddy/greys ?

Taysider off here won the Scottish Championship with his beddy/Whippet/grey.

As I said, your technically right with your "longdog" v "lurcher", but you're telling us something we already know

Cheers.
