He's around 1/8th Greyhound ;

Hes retired now, but I've seen him destroy pedigree whippets over any distance, trapping faster, early pace, finishing, the ped simply can't live in a race with a decent non-ped, of course they shouldn't when non-peds are dogs that are essentially bred down whippet/greys.

Cheers.

Is it inaccurate then thinking that smaller weight class dogs have earlier pace? I know your comparing to peds there but I mean in general that smaller dogs are away quicker.

I honestly don’t know. I’ve seen 32lb dogs trap faster than smaller dogs and vice versa.

I don’t think, in general , that smaller dogs have better early pace, some have, some haven’t, let’s not forget theses dogs are bred to do one thing, and one thing only; run 150 yards in the quickest possible time.

Some are good trappers, some have early pace, some are good finishers ! Only the very best have it all, whatever weight class they are in .

Cheers.

You still have regular whippet racing or non ped charts im just over the cheviots love to get down sure it’s only Falkirk up here for the whippets we used to go to Stirling loved it as a kid 

whippets bloody screaming from boots of cars all morning and afternoon they had a bath filled at side of track for the odd time one slipped a muzzle and got hold of lure 

game little dogs started my love for field sports where my introduction id love a whippet greyhound maybe 3/4 whippet x grey something that looks like it can graft 

I can remember when I was 14 wanting to travel further afield back then we could mooch 2 mile radius of the town and be out morning till tea time and out again after all summer round as young lads I got my grandpa to drive me 4 miles down the road to moss the rabbits and slipped on my first hare that was love at first site needless to say there wasn’t a bend out in and I took that poor dog back 4 nights in a row to that field and had to wash my grandpas car every Sunday for a month as fuel money

My 15 year old lad commented last night, that he'd like an Italian greyhound if we get another dog, in a couple of years time.

Was seriously tempted to thrash him, and send him to bed very early!!

I honestly believe he’s just misguided, he just needs pointing in the right direction, and I’m there for him when he realises he’s on the wrong track ! Getting him to realise it is the biggest challenge, but my loins are girded and I’m up for the challenge !

Cheers.

They’re a wee bit chaffed with all the walking I’ve been doing trying to get this lumbering lummox of a deerhound x fit.

I admire your stoicism, charts, but I really believe Gooey is beyond help.

May God have mercy upon his soul.

I would imagine that would also give you the perfect walk to heal as an added bonus
