francolin 449 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 first cross mate, track grey, race whippet , every other house had them, I lived in a mineing village,whippets were raced sunday morning in local park, the greys at the tracks, one of my sisters had greyhounds on the track from 70s to present day so getting a grew was easy 1 Quote Link to post
blackstaff 488 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Non ped scratch whippet, maybe a splash of bull in there for some added keenness ? Quote Link to post
Meeks 153 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I would consider a whippet grew, or grew I think most people call them, with just a little of something else in there, no more than 1/8th, just to help with feet and stamina, I was thinking saluki, but would want the possibility of the salukis common problems with training and stock breaking, I know lots of people like saluki crosses but also heard nightmare stories about them, never had anything to do with them myself, would that come through if it was just 1/8th? or maybe 1/8th deerhound or poss collie, don't want any bull, needs to be shorthaired as the Mrs is allergic to longhaired. Would 1/8th help with stamina and feet? would it be enough? Had collie in my last few dogs and love them just fancy trying something a bit different. I have a collie whip/gray and she is spot on for what I want she has the full package for me Andy26 looking to add to my little team next year and will be looking for a whippet/collie/grey.think this is ideal for me.you work it both day n night?

sandymere 8,261 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Picking up a pup tonight, mainly whippet with 1/8th collie & 1/8 grey, hoping it will make a handy little rabbit lamping dog around 22". 3 Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Didnt TOMO on here have a decent grew that won a coursing comp? Quote Link to post
*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think TOMO' was a Deerhound/Whippet/Greyhound. . Different animal when compared to the 1st cross Whippet/Grey - I've owned the both, handy animals. Was Dave Sleight breeding whippet/greys? Or maybe kelpie/greys. . Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sorry, i stand corrected...... and both i think 1 Quote Link to post

TOMO 24,860 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 No need to apologise mate,,,,in fact I often referred to her in my early posts on these sites as a grew,,,only because if there was any deer in her it wasn't obviouse... 1 Quote Link to post
