Guest tina/kev/sky/ace/tug Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I had a greyhound that i raced on 2 flapping tracks in south wales one called valley near ystrad and the other down the road near aberbargoed. She was quick real quick and won me a few good races. some of you welsh guyes may of hered of her smokey eyed joe later to be called running for fun. well anyway i had a bitsa lurcher and i used to sprint them together up a hill local to me and for the first 200 yards the greyhound didnt get a look in. The lurcher was 22 tts and the grey 27 tts. Quote Link to post

Guest tina/kev/sky/ace/tug Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The bitza lurcher was fast yes but on a track at 525 it wouldnt get a look in. The only advantidge bigger dogs have over smaller dogs (not greys) is stamina and being able to deal with bigger quarry. Thats my 5p worth and im not getting in to a argument over it its my experance. Someone else has probs experanced differant but it dont mean anyone is lieing. Quote Link to post
