They are strange character's that's for sure, Mistral the blue whippet i owned would yelp if i even looked at her the wrong way in home, But once outside, i could pick her up by the scruff and chuck her over a 4ft hedge without her making a sound.  She was the only dog i have ever owned that would crown the ferret in a stop end. 

Strange they can be  but they come back to ya ?

Ignored rabbits.  Seen greyhounds and lurchers do the same.

i bred a litter of bull whippet/ bull grey collie grey pups. one bitch threw to the whippet, I gave her to a mate, she would completely ignore rabbits either daytime or on the lamp, But Hares well there another story, The bloke who had her was no big lurcher man, he had spaniels and beat on a couple of the local shoots, Everyday he would walk his dogs around the local area. This bitch caught 32 hare on 32 consecutive days just whilst out on his morning walk.

So your saying that adding quality greyhound blood didn't improve the nimrod and lagoona 

Was never any greyhound blood added to either.

Or are you just talking about williams' 'bowline' dogs?
