If he has already yapped I wouldn`t take him out with another dog until he has been entered as seeing another dog running whilst he is on a slip could easily start him barking at the spectacle in front of him, and if you run him alongside another more experienced dog then he is almost always going to be beaten to the catch giving rise to more frustration and possibly more yapping,
You have all summer to get him entered on young inexperienced rabbits forget fairness and sporting chances when entering a pup myxy rabbits and young rabbits are ideal to enter a pup on allowing him to build confidence and gain experience,
Beddy Whippets are fairly well known as a cross that has a tendency to yap they are a terrier cross at the end of the day most terriers give tongue when close to game and by crossing a whippet you have taken the edge of the speed of a purebred making for a dog that is slower out the blocks and also to small to see much when a rabbit gets in front amongst long grass or on rough ground, I feel a beddy greyhound has far more to offer than a beddy whippet unless you want a net guarder when ferreting or a dog for the odd mooch around
JMHO
hope this helps

Alrite lads was looking at greyhound data and i can't get over the price of coursing greyhounds compared to track greyhounds..for pups,sablings or adult..i would of thought that it would have been the other way around due to there being more tracks in uk and ireland compared to coursing meets..can anyone shed some light on this...
Generally fewer coursing pups bred so more expensive, they are normally bred from top end bitches and the few top sires are expensive , there is a large amount of trackers bred from lesser quality bitches and a lot of track studs are available free or very cheap until they are proven,
the price of coursers normally comes down as soon as the season finishes and you can then pick them up for a few hundred euro

Give Robert Meek a call he is staffordshire based and will give your dog a thorough exam for a lot less than a vet, he is one of the best muscle and bone men around

Looking on the web it looks like it finished production in 2009

its doesnt work as easy as that. with greyhounds to race them and keep and train them at yours you have to have an NGRC LICENSE. plus you have to apply to your local track to see if there are any slots for your dog to race and so on. for a complete new comer to the sport i would keep yours with a professional trainer and learn from the sport that way. in greyhounds a second in time is worth alot and you might find it hard to even get it to grading standard as normally 1.5 seconds splits the open to A10 GRADE, A10 being the slowest. but either way you do it i doubt you get much money off it at all most people own them for the fun and they cost more to run then they win. plus once with a trainer its normally in the contract that he keeps the winnings. if you want to be where the money is you'l have to get a contract with a club as they pay you a wage but they dont contract people with just one dog normally as a trainer you'l need around 50-70 greyhounds to earn the right to be contracted. greyhounds are alot of fun and you meet some great people. but unless you got a derby winning dog or something on that level at most they just cover the cost of, feeding training and race entering and so on. but if they dont win as much as there can only be one winner per race which is obvious then your paying the trainers bill. it takes years of training to learn to train a greyhound correctly for racing. and most trainers start as kennel hands and so on to learn from within. and you need to learn how to make the greyhound give his all over a set distance so at the end of the race hes completly fuxked due to the effort hes put in again this is hard to do and with out the correct experience you'l get the greyhound conserving energy which slows them down slightly. to combat this get a schooled pup, the schooling process prepare them for the track, starting by slipping them to getting them used to the traps. if you buy a pup the schooling process normally cost around 2000 a dog for a trainer to do it. even the very experience greyhound owners get them proffesionally schooled. this proccess is make or break as after all that money spent you time trail them to see if there make the grade many dont. so for your first i'd buy one already schooled and ready to race. hope this helps and sorry for the essay but these are all the basics i could think about
hope this helps jamie
I think he lives in Australia and it is a more open track system over there similar to Ireland where a lot of dogs are owner trained

I would say if it is only the 2 kept by one person out of the litter that are nervous then it definitely down to upbringing and not breeding/genetics as if it was genetic most of the pups would probably show an inherited trait to nervousness and not just the 2 kept by one person, JMHO

MBK had one imported I believe never seen it in the flesh but did see pics seemed genuine , I enquired about getting one imported but the costs were very prohibitive

Glad your thick skinned
if your putting your greyhound with a trainer, look for one with a proven track record 
and leave it to him afterall he's managed so far without your input and he/she's getting results for his owners down to his/her knowledge of what worksY.I.S Leeview
Have to agree, if you trust a trainer enough to put a dog with him then let him do his job if he wasn`t up to scratch then he wouldn`t be making a living from it , it`s good for owners to take an interest and even discuss things with their trainer but at the end of the day the trainer should be left to make the decisions on dogs in his care,
and if you think the trainer is not up to scratch and needs your advice don`t put your dog with him, simple

whats the price drop ?
cost a few quid for a opp could turn canceras have the dog fixed ffs
What if the dog turns out to be a goodun and they want to breed from him? I would snap up this dog if my circumstances were different and he werent so far away.
If both testicles are retained the pup will not be fertile as the sperm will be made unviable by being kept at to high a temperature inside the body , although I believe there is a chance of having them brought into the scrotum through an op or sometimes if the pup is young enough a course of hormone injections can sometimes bring the testes down , I was told that a lot of lines of non-ped whippets are now producing pups with this problem

It would probably be a minimum of 12-14 weeks old when you could have it as this is the age that the greyhound pups are earmarked and the litter is meant to be kept together until earmarking has been carried out, you may get one from an unregistered litter sooner if you could find any

A good link dealing with double merle breeding
And as for the original question a nice 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie or a line bred collie lurcher should suit what you want regardless of the colour but of you want a rough you may be better looking fo somthing containing either some beardie, beddy or deerhound in it`s make up as well as border , after all colour and coat type is down to personal taste
thank mate whats the breeding of dog in pics
He was 1/2 beardie/border collie 1/2 greyhound

Zigzag Dutchy is a DOG and he never won the greyhound derby

In your original question you asked "what is a 3/8 5/8 beardie border?"
I was just answering that , yes obviously a 3/4 collie of any breed put back to a pure greyhound will breed 3/8 5/8
-
the breeding is beardie x border put to a greyhound
offspring then mated back to a Beardie x Border to produce a 3/4 collie 1/4 greyhound
which is one of the parents of a 3/8 5/8 when mated to a greyhound

Yeah accidental matings happen, and you get the bitch jabbed and there isn`t a problem if the bitch whelps any pups cull to one or two and not have the nutrition that a 13 month old bitch should be utilising for her to finish growing being leached off by a litter of pups , unfortunately people see £££`s and not the dogs best interests, WTF pups bred from pups once money becomes involved the dogs are f****d
