    I remember when he ran "Beuchelalus", forgive the spelling, at Ashington Whippet Club ! I'm sure he is on here, and would answer your question,if he felt it were relevant ! Cheers.

    but back in those days we could course on open grassy fields and not need to worry about who was watching Birdog, If I was to worry who was watching, I'd have given up a long time ago !! LOL !! Cheers.

    I remember when the 1st cross Whippet/Greys came up here. It was because the went to heavy or high for the racing down south. Dogs like Daisy, Robbo, (Bilko X Greyhound), Johns Rocket, Tiger Bay, also 1st crosses, and many others, this was about 1970, and they murdered our so called "Whippets", which were basicaly small Lurchers ! We thought, "well, at least our dogs can race, AND catch a hare!", but then I saw Daisy and Robbo run hares single handed and destroy them ! I had an 18" Yorkie Boy X Greyhound, a terrific racer, and a mate had her litter brother, "Kojak", 23" and would kill a hare a

    Having been a around bwra racing whippets my opion is that they are very fine built as they have to be, to get a big a dog that can run well as light as possible. This means they are not as robust as a kc working whippet in my opinion but i would think are much faster pound for pound. You could have a 21" bwra dog whippet running at 25/26lb a kc working type of that size would probably be over 30lb. I used to give my fathers racing dogs a run on the rabbits odd times but they were injury prone so he stopped me taking them out. Sounds daft but i think they are probably to fast and lightweight f

    You're right, 'Roxy ! I still go to the "dogs", (Whippet Racing), on a saturday morning, and get into arguments about 55lb, half x greyhounds being called Whippets !! My usual reposte is "there has been smaller Greyhounds won the Waterloo Cup " !! But I still love it; it's dedicated dog men and women breeding, training and racing outstanding dogs !! So fair play to them ! Cheers. can i add charti, not just the men and women but whole families grannies fed them, kids walked them etc. without a doubt it's the best family orientated sport bar none, a weekend at the championships or one of

    If we are going to be pedantic about it; they would be classed as "Longdogs", not "Lurchers"..but I'm not going to be pedantic about it ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I wouldn't, and was banned from the K9 site because of a discussion like this one ! BUT, the BWRA WILL register Whippet/Greyhounds as "Whippets", as long as they satisfy THEIR rules. Cheers.

    1/4 Grey, mate Cheers. So it's not a whippet then You're correct, 'Von..... it's a "Non-Ped Racing Whippet"; registered with the British Whippet Racing Association. As I keep repeating; I'm a fan of both Ped and Non-Ped Whippets,and have seen both types work and race. I have never seen Boo run, but only heard good things about him ! Cheers. A question for you Chart as you,ve raised my interest and I know feckall about peds/non peds etc but can you register a 1st x grey/whip with the bwra ? They have recently changed the rules, and I'm sure someone like Bob,

    They've been called "Whippets" since the 1800's, (no cracks about me being there then !!), As some one said, the "racing types" came before the KC types. Of course they are heavily influenced with Greyhound blood, but their "pedigrees" can be traced back as far, if not farther than the KC type. I don't want to be dragged into a "Ped Versus Non-Ped" argument, as I like and admire both types ! I would far rather call them "Race Dogs"... but the Non-Ped has been called Whippets for far longer thn I have been around, so I'll stick with that ! Cheers.

    Vin, not knocking your Mal X Greys, but watching that programme and reading the Wiki links.... there wasn't one mention of Greyhounds in the breed ! They all seem to agree that POINTER, (wether English or GSH), are the crosses they use. It's a bit disingenuos to use that programme to justify Malamutre X Greyhounds ! As I say, not knocking your X, as I've never seen them, but a bit far fetched to use that programme to promote them ! Cheers.

    I half jokingly broached the subject of lining her with Moscow a few year back, with Joe..... but I decided against having Minshaws in my kennel; my heart and blood pressure wouldn't stand the arguments !! LOL !! Cheers.

    LMFAO !!!! So you HAVE had a decent dog in your house !! LOL !! I've still got her mate, she'll be 7 in July, still going strong !! Wonder what her and Don would produce ?? LOL !! Cheers. Haha..i've even had Bruce the wonder dog in my house mate..as for what they would produce i'd say PUPS lol... We should do the line...I'll call them "Lemington Lurchers" and sell the pups for big bucks; there'd be a drink in it for you ! LOL ! Cheers.

    She is a nice looking bitch CP and to be honest i'm amazed how racy the bitches are compared to the dogs for whatever reason that may be? ATB Andy. I've said it before, and I'll say it again; I think Don over a Greyhound would produce some very nice pups ! Cheers. Would even they be minshaws serious question? I wouldn't care less if the prodgeny were called Minshaws or not, I just think they would be decent dogs for all round work ! Cheers.
