you can see grey chart can’t you with try one aswell what height was joe mate 

No idea mate. 
The object with non- peds is to get a dog with the speed of the greyhound and the size of the whippet, and that’s been achieved over the sprint distances. 
Indian Joe won titles over the straights and bend under BWRA and NWRF rules so he must have been within the the weight limits, height doesn’t matter, but as a guess he’d be no more than 22/23 inches .

Just checked and he won his titles at 30lb, so he may have been a bit smaller than 22/23 inch.

Cheers.

They are doing times now that I wouldn’t have believed when I had them. 
 

And don’t forget, there are 12 lb 16” whippets racing and 32 lb 23” whippets racing.

I think the breed standard for pedigree whippets allows dogs to be 22”. 
As I said, height doesn’t matter in non-peds , it’s all based on weight classes.

This little dog is 1/4 greyhound 3/4 whippet and races at 12 lb !

The weight classes start at 16lb so has to run off level with dogs 4lb heavier but he still beats them !

Cheers.

What's the max weight allowed for whippets and non-ped whippets? Would a non-ped beat a whippet over the shortest distances?

The pedigree whippet racing association has a 32lb limit. There’s two non ped associations and the BWRA has a 32lb limit for its yards for pounds racing and Championships and a 55lb limit for Scratch racing. The NWRF had a 35 lb limit for its yards for pound racing and I think no limit for scratch racing.

A non ped will beat a pedigree over any distance, there is no comparison, the non ped will win by a distance.

Theres only ever been one pedigree whippet that won Championships in both disciplines, that was way back in the 60’s.

Cheers.

How often did those using the non-peds after use greyhound for the breedings, every so many generations or once they created a type they no longer used it?

Depends what you want ; if you want the fastest dog in the country and want to win scratch races and match races you use a lot of greyhound blood and the very best non ped whipped. If you want to have a supreme racing champion you use the very best non peds.

All non peds have some greyhound in them, just some have more than others.

If I was going to get back into Id go for a first cross non ped whippet x greyhound as I prefer the scratch racing to the yards for pound racing. Others think that gaining a Racing Champion title is the holy grail. It just depends on what you are after,

Cheers.
