The only thing guaranteed is that I’ll be over to see you lads providing nothing catastrophic happens. I’ve even been looking at airlines that let you bring a pup back as hand luggage! Cheers.

It’s not my rules .There’s not a non- ped owner I know who runs hares, they are racers , mc is throwing out the challenge, he says his dog is faster than a non/ped, why on earth would they want to run a hare ? Cheers.

I’ll have a look at the race calendar and see what’s on in about 8 weeks time. It will probably be at Horden in Durham or Westerhope or Wallsend in Newcastle. The three I mentioned are six year old, so about the same as your dog. Also, Max has just told me he will match you with his lurcher bitch ; a race on the track over 150; 175 or 200yards and match you on a hare . This is nothing to do with you racing a non- ped, that’s separate. Cheers.

You said surely 200 yards is too short. Now you’re saying it should be lure coursing. Why ? Non-Ped whippets run over 150-200 yards.they don’t run over long distance and they don’t lure course. mC says his dog is faster than a non-ped. I didn’t challenge him; every time I mention non-peds he jumps straight in telling us his dog is faster, so it’s simple, come and race one ! Or we could give his dog a timed trial , every race is timed by a handicapper. Either way, I’m happy , I’ll even try to get a dog the same age as his to race him. Ive never said a non-ped is better

The excuses are starting ! LOL ! Cheers.

It’s my thankless task of trying to educate my protege’, mate ! Im a stubborn old f****r, I’ll not give up ! LOL ! Cheers.

None of the dogs will be 26 1/2” mate. The bitch that won is about 23” , the dog is at the upper limit, about 25”, but there are dogs and bitches around 20” 32lb that will beat any coursing bred over 150-200 yards. The dogs I went to see yesterday are the scratch dogs , the fastest there is, the record holders. Ive seen the racing lurchers over the years that thought they could beat them…they couldn’t ! A lad who claimed he had the fastest lurcher in the UK and Ireland came to our track and go nowhere near the track record holder and a 24lb racing champion bitch did a better

I’ve got a load of moody 20’s, should be ok ! LOL ! Cheers.

Or they could say it’s the bailiff come to move Charts on ! LOL ! Cheers.

There’s two whippet tracks near me and both welcome lurchers. Cheers.

I used to be very argumentative, but as I’ve got older I’m getting more like my late son who was a diplomat in the British Consulate in Saudi Arabia, so see , you CAN teach an old dog new tricks ! LOL ! Cheers.

Doubtful. Cheers.

So are my grannies…. Cheers.

How many times have I got to say it ? THE NON-PED WHIPPET IS THE FASTEST DOG OVER THE SPRINT DISTANCE OF 150-200 YARDS !!! Stop trying to move the goal posts you know that won’t work with me ! LOL ! Cheers.

Was your granny Flo Jo ? Cheers.

Mate, we tried putting a bit of lurcher into the non-peds years ago , it didn’t work. If these coursing breds are faster than non-peds, why aren’t we racing them instead ? mC seems to think the non-peds are the little, shivering roach back pedigree types, they are not, they are 100 years of breading the fastest whippets with the best greyhound blood to get a race dog that is phenomenal over the sprint distance. They are miniature greyhounds, and some not so miniature ! LOL ! I had a non- ped in the very early 70’s and it’s grand dam was a collie/grey; For the last 5

If you’re talking to me , we don’t do 250 straight, you’d need a greyhound track for that. I can arrange a race over 150, 175 or 200yards on a whippet track. I said these were the fastest dogs over 150-200 yards….dont be moving the goalposts ! LOL ! Cheers.

Did you ever meet my mate Dave ? He’s a pal of Gerrard and Billy, he’s been over a few times, he got a real Wheaton off the lads years ago. I met Billy when he was over here . Cheers.
-
I’m really looking forward to it mate, Gunter will tell you they are some lads I’ll be staying with ! Cheers.
-
That “whippet “ is 25” and 50lb ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
C’mon ! My protege is so unfit it would be a mismatch , I’d punch him that many times he’d think he was surrounded ! I’d put that many nuts on him he’d think he was a palm tree ! LOL ! He’s ok mate, just misguided ! Im trying my best to educate him…. but it’s bloody hard work ! Cheers.

I was at an Open Whippet event today. I went to see the dog that Max has just lined his bitch with. Anyhow, the dog and its two litter sisters were in the final of the Veterans Scratch Race . One of the bitches was the winner with the dog second . The bitch did 8.04 seconds over 150 yards. There was about 1 1/2 yards between the three of them. The record is 7.96 seconds, held by the dog. So that bitch at six years old was just 0.08 of a second outside the record. Any of these three would make any coursing bred look like it was running backwards. Now, don’t start about “slo

I’ve had to good a day to bite mate ! Have a go at Bangers, he’s feeling left out ! LOL ! Cheers.

Jack ? JACK ! Isn’t in my vocabulary, mate ! LOL ! Cheers.

If it came on top for Grebby, he would just shape shift, morph into his myriad of identities, disappear into the ether and the police would have more chance of finding the Scarlet Pimpernel ! They seek him here; They seek him there; They seek that damned elusive Pardus everywhere ! Apologies to Baroness Orczy , Cheers.
