Pennymeadow Whippets 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hi all new here a whippet x greyhound is faster than a pure whippet so id say over 50 yards a whippet x greyhound / whippet/ greyhound after this longdogs lurchers deerhound borzio saluki but the saluki will still be running long after the others are in bed Quote Link to post
Guest reload Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) I thought this thread was about PURE breds...lol A Greyhound i would expect to be fastest, salukis aint fast, just stayers anyone who has seen a pure saluki will know this.

TOMO 26,067 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 doesnt matter what the distance is the fastest speed for any dog belongs to the greyhound. Quote Link to post
Pennymeadow Whippets 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 A pair of saluki's at the North West Lure Coursing Club in 2005 A pair of Whippets same event A pair in slips Quote Link to post

Guest bracken boy Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 if a greyhound can make 36 mph in six strides does any 1 know [bANNED TEXT] a whippet would do? Quote Link to post

DiStuRBeD 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 isnt the whippet more agile then the greyhound, but the greyhound faster over a distance of say a mile but the whippet will be near as fast over the first few hundred yards Quote Link to post

Nothing against whippets, I've owned far more whippets than greyhounds, simply stating facts. Cheers. P.S., how's the stag pup coming on? Mush, what purebreed of dog do you reckon is faster than a greyhound ? Cheers. Quote Link to post
Guest mush Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Over what distance? Ive already put up what i think. Quote Link to post
Pennymeadow Whippets 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 A whippet can do 150meters in 9.5secs & 50meters in 3-3.5 secs A greyhound can do 150meters in 12secs & 50meters in 4-4.5secs Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,275 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Are you honestly telling me a whippet is 2 1/2 seconds faster than a greyhound over 150 meters? If you believe that, please tell me where you race and I will bring a greyhound and match your best, purebread whippet for any amount of money. Mush, we are on a different wavelength, in terms of pure M.P.H., a greyhound is the fastest pure bred dog. I agree about distance, my old saluki would beat most dogs over a great distance, but could not reach the outright M.P.H. of a greyhound. Cheers. P. Whippet, as per your times, a handicapper would have to give the greyhound 39 metres start over the whippet to produce a close race!!!!!! Cheers. Quote Link to post
Cupid Stunt 18 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 A whippet can do 150meters in 9.5secs & 50meters in 3-3.5 secsA greyhound can do 150meters in 12secs & 50meters in 4-4.5secs I don't know where you got that info from but the track i used to run greyhounds at had a 55metre run from trap to line first time & the record was 3.60 Graded sprinters would average between 3.75 - 3.90 top to bottom grade respectively.
