Laguna Whippet?

[jeemes 3,532]

 

Ive seen Laguna Whippets coursing and racing. They were very strong,fast and game. I met Mrs Bond Gunning when I dispatched a hare for her that her dog had just caught to win yet another course at an organised meet in the Cotswolds.I found her to be a very modest person about the obvious abilities of her dogs that her mother was breeding before her. I remember her saying that she had stopped letting people have her dogs unless she had known them for at least a year or so because she was sick of seeing them being peddled in the C/Weekly.

 

A mate of mine had a Laguna dog that had a far better pedigree has far as Laguna strain went than Sooty sam and it was a fast game dog. No pure whippet could ever get near it racing and it was great on a lamp. Has far as I know he never used it at stud. I had lost touch when I came to breed my bitch so I used Sooty Sam. Some of the dogs in that litter were outstanding.

 

Im no Whippet expert but I was lucky enough to see some remarkable Whippet coursing from diffrent strains at official coursing meets before the Reds banned it. They are truly great dogs..Ive nothing but respect for them..Its a shame they fell into hands of peddlers and have no doubt been scatter bred badly has a result.

what was the bitch called??

 

Just another prefix mate.

Hey guys

 

Is there any real traits that make a whippet a proper Laguna???

 

The chap I bought my dog from claimed she had some laguna blood in her what you think? (she goes bezerk for anything on four legs)

 

Cheers

It's just a whippet I suspect, I would've surprised if it was from the Laguna kennel. What's the prefix? Just go to the whippet archives and findout when the last Laguna bred dog was in the pedigree. But to be honest all this Laguna stuff really is a big bulging bag of excrement, just enjoy your whippet for what it is, not for some sales chat a breeder told you. Edited July 24, 2014 by Sirius
