k99yle 53 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 can you get whippet sized greyhounds just a thought replie grateful I saw a book a couple of years ago that said a whippet and greyhound are of the same DNA. They are the same breed just different sizes! Bollocks mate Thanks for your intelligent reply! Well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mally 832 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I don't know about whippet sized greyhounds, but greyhound sized whippets are already here mate, 23"-24" dogs are not uncommon and it's bad for the breed IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boyo 1,398 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 owned a very small greyhound bitch 23 tts very good early one quite a few races got a 24ins bitch now that ran 2 4 and 6 bend races but heavier built never pass for a whippet but i have seen some that would.
