Not always, Fed.

My local club has separate handicaps for Pedigree and non-ped whippets, and the WRCA only allows pedigree whippets to run.

But yeah; most non-ped “whippets” have some greyhound in their lines .

The non-peds are far and away faster, even at the same weight and size.

There has only been one instance of a pedigree whippet achieving its Racing Champion status in both the BWRA, (non-ped) and the WRCA, ( pedigree), as far as I’m aware.

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.

Not the one I’m thinking of mate.

This was a 28lb dog that won the BWRA Championship as Our Pepe, and the WRCA Championship as Mystic Pepe, late 60’s early 70’s

I remember Picketty Witch running, but assumed it was a non -ped.

Picketty witch def kc, but you're right, it was early 70's.

And she was both BWRA and WCRA champion, not sure what year/years though.
