Guest born to run1083 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Whippet/greys are good animals in there own right, I think the biggest thing I'd be nervous about is what kind of ground your be running on, as you say rough ground, but how rough as Wales has a varied landscape but if it's like in quarries and casts or reclaimed tips like we have round here I'd get something stronger built unless you love the vets. I'm not to sure how it would fair up. If your running on flatter arable fields one would do you well. Quote Link to post

chilly 59 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Y does it necesarily be a ped whippet ? And I would have thought there be a few second gen half crosses about , but I could be wrong lol Quote Link to post

chartpolski 20,405 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 It's been a long, long time since a Pedigree Whippet has been put into the Non-Peds. The "1st" crosses are invariably Non-Ped Whippet X Greyhound. If you look back at the breeding of the "Whippets", you'll find more Greyhound..... so the "1st" crosses will usualy have a bit more than 50% Greyhound in them. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post
chilly 59 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 where would be the place to try and get a grew then ? who is breeding from good blood lines is it always strictly whip grey in these racing grews or is there some times vary small percentages of some thing els ?

A dash of this and a dash of that! I think they would be speed machines no doubt about that! Would defo have one Quote Link to post
