I've got a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 beddy now. His body is like a pure greyhound and when wet (he's rough haired) you can reall see his shape. The Beddy has given him good feet, outstanding nose, great coat, plenty of stamina and he has retained the speed. I fancied the same with collie a while back. Really like the 3/4 greys.

shaaark 11,367 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 @ buster, the greyhound you worked must've been an ex track dog, and a poor one at that. f**k all wrong with a greyhound's brain, stamina, feet or nose. Too many people on here say the same as you, and 99% of em have tried ex track dogs. Normally they'll be well past 4 years of age and will only have known kennel life and after schooling, normally just one run around a track a week. Any dog, however bred, isn't going to be up to much in the field after spending at least 4 years on such a routine. Try working a greyhound that's been brought on like you would a lurcher from a pup, people would soon change their opinion 3 Quote Link to post

Lampalurcher 47 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yer there's nowt wrong with rabbit hounds but I prefer a dog with a bit more to it an a dog that if the ban was repealed could be used for its original uses Quote Link to post
Lampalurcher 47 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Just don't see the hype about whippets all the ones I've seen failed to impress me yet their owners all seem to think the sun shines out there whippetey little holes Quote Link to post
