I still go to the races, but I haven't got a whippet, just the deer/grey, but I'm seriously thinking about getting a non-ped whippet x Greyhound for a bit of racing and run a hare or two.

There's a dog called Lord Snooty which is about the best around just now. I've seen it run and met the owner, he consistently breeds top class Scratch dogs. If I was looking for a stud for my Deer x, ( which I'm not, she's far to young), I'd certainly ask to use him. As for a whippet/grey, I'd just see what was about and as usual, do my homework before committing to a pup. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post
chartpolski 22,942 Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) Lord Snooty pedigree; Notice how the same dogs turn up in the whippet side, Rch Kentucky etc, as other top non-peds, then look at the Greyhound side, Head Honcho, Westmead Hawk, Larkhill Jo, etc...... The best of breeding on each side. This is why you do your homework. Cheers. Edited November 15, 2023 by chartpolski 7 Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,076 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Not doing much hunting now just mooching but still have this bitch, grew cross working whippet. She has a weird running style, nothing like whippets I've owned but covers a lot of ground. 6 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,076 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) I would have liked to see my old 3/4 working whippet 1/4 staghound in a race but she only liked the real thing. Edited November 16, 2023 by Aussie Whip 4 Quote Link to post

jukel123 7,957 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 I recently tried to get hold of a non ped pup but the racing fraternity are very suspicious of people they don't know. I enquired about a few litters but was given the bum's rush. I had a little non ped bitch 30 odd years ago only 17 inches. Without doubt the best day time rabbiting bitch I had ever had. I did manage to get hold of a KC racing bitch. Very feisty. She has a cracking prey drive and can't see her making over 17 inch. Quote Link to post
OldPhil 5,654 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) These are fabulous, selectively bred, canine atheletes,...and they have now possibly reached their zenith and for the task they have been created for,they are nie-on perfection...However,..if used as roustabout hunting dogs,..they need to be treated with the greatest respect, and due to their inate prey drive, one often has to watch out for their safety,.... and obviously,...run them accordingly....
