Grews, lets see yours

[timjim 43]

would like to see some pics of greyhound x whippets if any of you have them , old or new, and what you run/ran them on, pref pre-ban but would be glad to see any pictures and any stories you have,

would like to find out more about these, am pretty new to the world of running dogs only been with them for about 6 months, used to work terriers,

have a 13 month old pup that i have just started on the lamp, not the best catcher in the world but has plenty of drive, which is something that pleases me greatly, not about big numbers for me, as long as she gives me 100% i am very happy

 

cheers guys

When my old feller was growing up, (early 50's) the only type of lurcher to have around here (Lancs) was a greyhound whippet. He says everyone had one back then, there was not much game around then, so whatever you used to run, you wanted a kill, (rabbit and hares) And the sheer speed saw to this.

He said if you got 3 or 4 rabbits then you had a superb day, or if you got a hare well you were a hero for the week!

He tried the same dogs in the dales when he first started going up there, obviously transport was the key.

He found the dogs superb for catching almost every rabbit that ran, but found them struggling to see the morning out after a lot of early season runs. (maybee 30 hard runs in the morning).

I saw a few run in my earlier years, they were dynamite, and very entertaining to watch.

Thats all I can add, hope this helps a little.
