Speed, yeah, the non-ped, but I’d say the ped from coursing stock will have the edge in stamina .

Just my opinion, of course.

Cheers.

I haven’t seen Mally for years, but we spent a lot of time in each other’s company hunting, shooting, ferreting, lamping, coursing, we had some great times.

I was impressed with Vixen as an all rounder and she threw some good pups.

Cheers.

He's still around but I don't think he has a whippet anymore unfortunately.

I always fancied a whippet but stuck with small lurchers for years, was told non ped are faster but peds are better nose, stamina, hunting wise, bit the bullet 2 years ago and having some cracking sport with this little bitch.

I lost two elderly Sooty Sam bitches at the start of the year.  Together they  could do whatever a big lurcher could do. One in particular could catch in dense woodland, she had a brilliant nose and could hold on.

Me and the Mrs decided we wouldn't get another dog and would travel . But we ended up not travelling and sitting on our arses instead.

We had a discussion about a new running dog. I persuaded her  a laid back deer/ grey would be just the ticket. But she had another 'executive' think and bought a pedigree whippet from racing stock. She who must be obeyed, also decided it can live in the house and take liberties none of our previous dogs did. 

When we got married over 50 years ago, I was the boss man. I bought pups whenever I fancied  and they were kenneled ..F**k all to do with her. Now I'm her obedient  slave picking up her pup's turds and mopping up its pee ffs. Oh how the mighty has fallen.

Oh well the whippet will keep me out of trouble.lol

If you.feel like your being oppressed a good dodge I often employ is take a pic on your phone of you flipping her the bird, behind her back obviously we don't need any o that fire

Hopefully.

I had a 17tts whippet bitch from racing stock 30 odd years ago. She was the best rabbiting dog I ever had. I remember a day on the moors I had with her when  she killed 13 adult daylight rabbits and countless young uns.
