It's still not going to replace a purpose bred lurcher though. I know you get exceptions in everything but seriously? Those long toes for a start.....don't know anyone who wants their pup to take the greyhounds side regarding feet.

they just aint got it for long hard work they are sprint dogs they burn out to quick with lactic acid build up . bottom linr a good lurcher is allways better

 

Whilst they ain't got the wind of a saluki or deerhound they ain't finished after a short sprint and cramped up.

ffs exactly they are sprint dogs fast twitch muscles if i was you id get a hamster you know fanny f..k about dogs

 

How many times have you been to Clonmel or the Altcar and seen them run? Fanny f..k all? You've seen nothing but are an expert!!!

[kranky 507]

Your just being silly now kranky. You said you never thought people would talk about ex racers in the field. Errrr hello, what are 99.99999% of greyhounds used for? I don't think you have ever been in a field have you? You say greyhounds have great feet, are you serious? Obviously lurchers hit stuff but here's a wee something for you to digest, the faster the animal the more likely it is to hit something. You take a speed bomb into a boulder strewn hill, it's more likely to hit one compared to a more slower type. I seriously don't know why I'm wasting my time with you, your knowledge regarding field craft comes from books. Ill just bow to your superior knowledge on the matter...... Greyhounds are the dogs bollocks

Why do people ride motorbikes,when a car is warmer safer drier,Because they want to.

If you like to see a fast dog work then you ain't going to getter faster than a greyhound,Like any fast dog your trading speed for other qualities.

Why has one got to be better than another it depends what you want....

You're such a fan of quoting me, show me where I said greyhounds had great feet. They haven't got feet that get smashed up everytime they're out, anymore than any other dog. Some have good feet some have bad feet. You've not answered my questions with regard to the other breeds I mentioned because you do t know the answers. Long toes don't make a dog slower or more prone to injury.

A faster dog is more likely to hit stuff than a slower dog? Are you seriously offering that up as a fact? Lack of real world experience is showing through here.

are you seriously arguing that fact? a fast dog is always going to be more prone to hitting stuff that a slower dog due to momentum etc., didn't you ever do physics at school pal?

I don't think one is better than the other, I see the different qualities in other types of Lurcher too. I may never want to own one but it doesn't mean I can't admire the qualities that make them excel.

I run a Lurcher/longdog myself at the moment and for what I want he's better than a pure grey.

I don't like people slagging off an entire breed and spreading nonsense about the working ability of that breed when they have no experience or knowledge of the breed in question.

I totally agree with you.

At the risk of being cut to pieces......

 

Is there not a completely seperate strain(?) of greyhound that is/was used for coursing and the suggestion there was that a pure 'coursing' greyhound had better feet and better wind than a pure 'track' greyhound?

I seem to remember watching/reading something Clarissa wrote about 'coursing' greyhounds suggesting that they were bred down through the generations for the abilities required for coursing.......

 

Gently now lads.....

I'm gonna be controversial here, I'd say driven dogs are more likely to hit stuff and stupid dogs are more likely to hit stuff, but a fast dog isn't necessarily more likely.

 

For instance a driven but slow animal like a terrier will be very likely to crash but a much faster dog running sensibly or lacking drive will quite possibly go it's whole career without a bad crash.

 

Also I would say fast dogs are more likely to cause serious injury in a crash than a slower dog, partly due to the speed and also the build of such dogs. So fast dogs may be considered more injury prone but I wouldn't say more likely to crash, that's a result of drive or brains imo.

 

And as a 'physicist', I feel qualified to answer that.
