was some dog, won against whippets and greyhounds and bred some very fast dogs. A mate put his greyhound to him the bitches turn out 21-22 and the dogs 23-24 all made top racing and catch dogs, Markbricks bitch is bred down from one of them. Cant remember the others being around at the time Max, None bred off the dogs you said about that I've seen had the drive of the ones bred in that litter off willhay.

Carl and Debbie Williams were breeding Whippet crosses at the time.

 

 

That's a blast from the past Max.... They were alway's mentioned concerning whippet grey crosses. Are they still in the dog game do you know ? ?

Not sure Breeze they were just always in the rags advertising whippet x's. Anyone wanting Whippet blood in there stock nowdays would be hard pressed to go by Wor John based in the N East and Supa Blue now based nr Guisborough N Yorks way, both are getting on in years so get in fast.

hi max i don t think worjohn is at stud anymore mate, as his owner andy died last month,supa blue is to old now, his owner is a good mate of mine,but he has a dog which is supablue s son at stud atb BB

Molly sold me my first whippet one of the best whippets i ever had Highmain piper i have many good memories of andy a true gent rip mate.

There are some tremendous non-ped Whippets around just now, and I'm supprised they aren't used more in Lurcher breeding. I still go to the local Whippet track on a saturday, and to see some of the scratch dogs doing times I would have thought impossible years ago is a great sight to watch. these dogs are heavily Greyhound blooded, but bred down to around 20-40 lb. surely crossed with a good lurcher they should produce decent offspring ?

 

Cheers.

Cheers Poacher 3161. How old do you think a good dog can go on producing good pups. I would like to use a dog such as Bigland boy oover my kelpie cross but it would have to be when the times right and that may not be all that soon due to one thing or another.

Thats some thing i don't think i am qualified to realy comment on as a noted stud dog in my area went unfertile after he was 10 but know doubt dogs can still produce after a certain age the quality of the pups [bANNED TEXT] useing an old dog is open to debate.atb dell
