We used several pure Greyhounds for the Roe deer job,...they made easy work of them..? Back in the early Seventies,.. I reared a nice speedy Black bitch from a pup, and took most quarry with her,

Reckon I'm spot on, there!  Lol. Nice enough lad, but f**k me, he's hard work!!  ? ??

I like Hendon, had a rep for being a bit rough, the garths were an interesting place to grow up.

We used to handicap the non-ped whippets at 16 yards per second, back when they were doing 9 seconds for 150 yards.

These days the best are doing 150 yards in 8 seconds or less. That's almost 19 yards per second ! 

Cheers.

Kin el, Magoo, you must be thicker than the slop you walk on!!  

Have a look at chart's figures, convert/process it into your mouse cage, then compare that to the figures I quoted.  ?

Am I missing something here ? ?

19 yards per second is 57 feet per second.

Not a huge difference to 60 feet per second.

Even if I say so myself, I'm not a bad greyhound and whippet handicapper.

We allways worked at 6/100ths of a second per yard, and were never far out.

You could allways lift or pull a dog a yard or two if you got it slightly wrong ?

Cheers.

Lol no mate, you aint missing anything.  I was just sort of confirming, in my own mind, the figures you put up, to greyhounds.  ?
