a young dog reaches its top speed ....iam not talking about how it runs ..or how it hunts .....that all comes with practice in the field ...the question is ...when will it get to its fastest ......obviously some certain crosses develop later and some earlier .......your views ...i have my own opinion on this ...but would like to here others views .....

depends how much bone the dog has, whippety type dogs seem to get to there maximum speed quite early on where as the heavier types need extra time for muscle to develope to propel there bigger bone mass .greyhound trainers who know there stuff always give the big distance dogs plenty of time, thats my take on it cheers trader

when it gets behind a big buck

 

 

nah, im sure that as with every other trait, each dog will be different. My 6month pup isnt far behind the deerhound now, fast little fecker

i think it is at 18 mouth's when thay stop growning and that's it then

[Rabbithunter 456]

i sure hope he'll do the buisness.... he's already witnessed how to track an injured buck.... and he has had a few runs with the older dog (accidently of course, as i wouldnt intentionally give a young dog any big runs)

i reckon its well past 12month old for a heavy saluki bred coursing dog before they start to get full speed , especially if they quite big , but some dogs mature faster than others

by christmas hopefully snoop

[Guest markbrick1]

2 yrs old when he has found his feet as well

[poacher9991 10]

I RECKON ANYTIME BETWEEN THE 12 AND 18 MONTH MARK

how longs a peace of string ?

[Guest Frank]

Every lurher is different.

As a genaral rule, racing greys, are kept out in paddocks ect, till their a year old, as after this, they are too fast and can crash into each other, getting broke up.

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT BETWEEN 2 AND 3 , IM SURE THERE IS PROBLY SOME STASTISTICKS WITHIN THE GREYHOUND WORLD , ON THIS VERY SUBJECT.
