Is the old MYTH true??? Can small lurchers turn better than Big lurchers

IMHO most of it comes down to natrual born running ability some dogs are born with this it and it can be seen in pups in their first runs on quarry were as some lurcher types only gain good running ability due to a lot of exspierience running game and some times it takes them up to two years for it to click i have noticed this more in dogs with a large percent of greyhound in them and more lurcher to lurcher types seem to have the natrual born running ability.atvb dell

It makes sence as most greyhounds and even NON ped whippets have been bred now for generations to run at blinding speed in a streight line more or less so generations of these dogs being bred on their track running ability that imho is their type of running ability but we all know with practise they can revert back to a game catching ability after all its only my theory on it.atb dell

This is some thing i have never been able to get my head around [bANNED TEXT] people say you want a small dog for rabbits [bANNED TEXT] the ideal size is 24tts give or take an inch.I have seen some very tall dogs make catching rabbits look like shelling peas and some small lurchers make it look like hard work.atb dell
