    What exactly constitutes a 'non-ped' and as was previously asked, who, on the day, stands deciding what is a pedigree whippet (without papers), non-ped whippet, small whippet type, 3/4 grey 1/4 whippet etc? Also, who sorts out the arguments when people dispute the decision? Simplest thing is to have height divisions and anybody with a pedigree whippet who ain't happy can race at whippet racing clubs where only papered whippets are welcome. why would any one want to run a non ped in a whippet race if they had a proper class to run there lurcher in think about it Because there is ars

    We ALL can see what you mean !! If you want "Whippet"! only racing, then show your papers !! SIMPLE !!. There are guys like Bob, who race and work there dogs, and enjoy it ! Why can't you guys ????? No, you just must win "Lurcher" racing.. where VERY few actual working Lurchers take part !! As I KEEP saying, why don't you people race your dogs against their peers, out of traps on a real track, instead of racing against LURCHERS who don't have a chance ?? I really have no idea why you keep saying we are trying to run against lurchers??? That is NOT the point here, the point is that organ

    I don't think it's the "LURCHER" people who are cheating !! Far from it.. I think most LURCHER people are avoiding the so called "Lurcher racing" because it's been taking over by people who only have winning in mind, and are using race bred Non-Ped Whippets and unregistered Greyhounds !! The working Lurcher, that does a winters graft, and then has a run at a show in the summer, now has NO chance against these dogs; so please don't accuse the LURCHER owners of cheating !! Cheers. Race bred Non-Ped Whippets make excellent working dogs also. I started over 45 years ago with Non-

    This bitch was my first Lurcher, after moving on from Racing Whippets, I got her in the early 70's; she taught me more than I taught her ! She retreived rabbits live to hand, worked the lamp off the lead, was the first dog I had that took 3/3 hares, and had no bother with foxes ! I was told she was Saluki/Stag/Whippet/Deer; but who would believe a Gypsy selling a pup ? LOL ! Never bred from her , although I tried twice to line her with a Deer/Grey, and she never took. Cheers.

    I've got a 6 1/2 year old in the kennel just now, and she has been, and still is, a top class dog. I dread when she gets to old to do what she was bred for.... not because I'll get rid of her; no, she'll be with me for life, but when I go to get the lamp, or go to put my "walking boots" on she goes crackers, knowing she's going working ! When I have to leave her in and take the other dogs out, it'll break my and her hearts ! But that's a few years away yet ! Cheers.

    A playfull nip ! Get over it !! LOL !! Had worse off a ferret ! Cheers.

    Very simple, in my opinion ! If it is for Whippets only, then show your papers ! No papers ? then go in the lurcher class. I was going to shows 45 year ago, when we sat in a pub and decided to have a show, then the racing came along, and ANY running dog, no matter what size, breed or coat, ran against each other..FOR A BIT OF FUN !! Now, it isn't "Lurcher" racing, It seems to me, to be racing for people who are running race bred dogs, but are afraid to race against their peers, out of traps, at a real track ! These dogs will beat my working dogs every time over stupid distances like 150 yards.

    But why would you want to use a failed Bull x as a stud for rabbiting dogs ? Surely it's better to use proven rabbiting stock........or am I reading the question wrong ? Cheers

    You'll get supporters and detractors of both types ! I suppose it depends on the individual dog, (and handler). I've seen some tremendous working Whippets, and also some useless ones ! The same goes for Lurchers, some good, some bad. I've owned both Whippets and Lurchers, and the choice is usualy dictated by the quarry I wish to run. Cheers.

    A dog may be the only company the old dear has !! I would hate for the PC police to put an age limit for owning a dog ! Cheers.

    Isn't it a bit pointless putting up posts about him, when you know they are going to be locked or removed ? Instead of saying "Whin", just use his new user name, and no one will be any the wiser !! LOL !! Cheers.

    I can't believe people are defending this guy !! It doesn't matter if there is one hours, one days or one weeks worth of shit there.......Who in their right mind would put up pics advertising a dog standing in piles of its own shit !! How difficult can it be to clean it out ? Cheers.

    If you give a bitch the close inspection that ANY dog in a show ring deserves, you will feel the spaying scar. Cheers.

    Unfortunately not. Cheers.

    The KC state a dog has to have two decended testicles,or will be disqualified. A lot of Lurcher judges check for this, including myself, but I've never seen a dog disqualified at a Lurcher show for not being "complete"! If a dog had everything else going for it, and was, in my opinion, the best in the ring, then I would pick it. I there were two dogs that I couldn't realy split, then a "complete" dog would win over a dog that wsn't "complete".Having only one, or no testicles, dosen't, in my mind affect a dogs working ability, in fact, one of the best dogs around just now had his un-decended te

    What are you guys on ??? "apart from the shit the run looks clean" !!! The run is NOT clean...it's full of shit !!! If the guy has time to take photos and put an ad up, surely he has time to clean the shit up ???? Cheers.

    What sort of person would put pics like that up where people can see them ? And if that's one days shit for a seven month pup, I'd like to see what it's getting fed !! More like a weeks worth ! A fcuking disgrace... no wonder Lurcher owners get a bad name !! Cheers.

    How about an under 23" and an over 23" ROUGH COATED races...and give the REAL Lurchers a chance ?? LOL !! (tongue in cheek, before all you Non-Ped and Greyhound owners jump all over me !). Cheers.

    What difference does the colour of a dogs nose Make ????? Cheers.

    That would be 3/8 Beddy - 5/8 Greyhound, wouldn't it ? Sounds good to me !! Cheers.

    I remember when Lurcher racing was some thing for working Lurchers to do in the summer months, and wasn't taken to seriously; but now it seems there are purpouse bred "Lurchers", for racing only, and never actualy see any work, These dogs seem, in the main, to be Non-Ped Whippets and unregistered Greyhounds. If people want to take it so seriously, why not race these dogs, out of traps, against their peers, at organised Whippet or Greyhound tracks ? Cheers.
