I think you may be as I’ve just checked  all the BWRA Champions fro 68 to 78 and Picketty Witch didn’t win a BWRA Championship, but I do remember it running back then.

Cheers.

Of course.

The idea is to breed a dog of whippet appearance and size and weight with the speed of the greyhound, and it’s just about been achieved, by breeding the fastest to the fastest.

I’ve told the tale before of a non-ped whippet I had that I matched with a greyhound; on a whippet track, over 150 yards the whippet won by a couple of yards, on the greyhound track over 270 yards, the greyhound won by a couple of yards.

So, I’d say, by and large, the non-ped whippet is faster over the shorter distance, the greyhound faster over the longer distance.

Just my opinion, of course.

Cheets.

now on winter wheat in december what would you think would of won over each distance mate

Can’t equate racing dogs with coursing mate, but I’ve caught hares with whippets and greyhounds, some were good, some weren’t !

Most racing dogs are bred for out and out speed over relatively short distances, but a good “whizz banger” is great to see on a hare.

All depends on what you enjoy !

Chappie is good for a couple of days if your dogs got the shits, vets use to recommend it for that, and it works, you must think a lot of whippets

I'm talking working whippets over here, I wouldn't own a ped whippet to work. Ours could or probably have grey, bull or stag in their breeding. Whatever they have they are faster off the mark than a grey, tougher feet and way more stamina. They look pure whippet but doubt they'd win a conformation show.

Heaps of them can take foxes by themselves.

Tbh mine avoid feral cats, they pretend not to see them, lol. The same dogs will grab pigs which could easily kill them and get dragged around, it's not their job. I have farm cats that sort the pups out young so that's probably why they ignore them.

It's bad if they kill some old ladies pet cat, probably all the lady lives for. The feral cats need killing but my mate worked for pasture protection and would take a heap of dogs out to push rabbits into the warrens and then gas them. One feral cat tore up a few dogs one time. Apart from killing of a pet cat they can tear dogs eyes and infect them badly from bites so I'd rather the dogs stay away.
