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.

I'm a firm believer in having at least 50% greyhound in my lurchers, but a pup out of one of those whippets and one of those salukis might change my mind!!!!

Cheers,

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

Sorry mate, a pure bred whippet will not beat a greyhound over any distance, ask any genuine whippet racer or courser for an honest answer and they will agree with me. 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.

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.

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

 

 

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.
