My whippets. Dam and son                  

Hopefully these few old pictures and some of recollections from my early teens (the late 1950’s and early 1960’s) may be of some interest. They’re all old style “rag whippets” and pre date the require

no mate they all have about 2 mins in the tank  at a push ? 

But they can do that on and off for 5 hours in steep country. It's why they are the ultimate pure bred rabbit dog and the fastest dog over 50m. ? They are also loyal and have recall, not to mention clean in the house and unbeatable temperaments. Also cheaper to feed than most running dogs. And they call you Magoo ?.

A good rabbit dog can make a hare dog look silly on rabbits. The whippet would be over the line on 50m with the saluki at about 25m. I've seen them raced. You don't use pure salukis I thought. There are plenty of pure whips over here on rabbits, more whippets than lurchers used here. It's because they are the best pure bred for the job. They have big lurchers for big fast game. If you think rabbits are'nt fast in a short sprint on hard bare ground you are kidding yourself.
