Lurchers at the Whippet Racing .

[chartpolski 23,210]

Met up with Max Hardcore at my local whippet club to give his lurcher bitch a couple of trials.

Gave it a solo run out of the traps and with a muzzle. It ran well and did a very respectable time.

Later on gave it another trial of a level break with a good non-ped racing whippet, again, out of traps with muzzles. A very good race over 150 yards with the lurcher coming from behind to be beaten by just half a length, again in a good time.

I enjoyed the morning and the craic, Max certainly knows his running dogs !

Cheers.

I’ve never run my bitch on the track, she has one job…..and it isn’t racing !

Besides, at over 28” she wouldn’t fit in the traps ! LOL !

Ill bet she can shift. Im sure Docherty reckoned in his book on deerhounds, that his first crosses achieved comparable times with greyhounds.

Max and I talked about speed, I like as much speed as possible in a lurcher , if it can’t catch up to its quarry, it can’t kill it. 
Plodders that wear the quarry down are a liability these day, I much prefer a “whizz banger” , on the field and off quickly. 
My bitch has surprisingly decent speed for her size. 
Max added non-ped whippet/grey to his coursing bred bitch and if this bitch he ran today is anything to go by , it’s worked, definitely a fast bitch !

Cheers.

Agreed. McHull will be on shortly arguing his desert dogs possess the best running  style: wearing quarry down over several days until they come to a standstill with exhaustion and malnutrition. When his mutts spot a hare, he pitches his tent, arranges his sleeping bag and puts a brew on.

“ Gamer than a bull x, better coat than a deerhound x, faster than a non-ped whippet, is a plane , is it a rocket ? No, it’s a Hullshaw !” LOL !

I love watching saluki hybrids run,  but I prefer an up and at em, shit or bust style. Both have their merits.

i like them to have speed keep gearing up using the mouth but the time the need to sit in and really hang on the dog has to have that 

who runs dogs that just run them down now there for massive land not a style i like
