What do people reckon to a pure greyhound brought on from a pup ?

My own personal experience of a greyhound raised as a working lurcher from and 8 week old pup , no problems with injurys , livestock sheep ext , prey drive great , they are,nt stupid dogs and are brighter and more obedient then you think 

Their main downside believe it or not is their very fast speed .

Speed kills and eventually it will .

? Well, the pure bred obviously ain't ideal for  roustabout 'lurcher work', or we would see a lot more of them, out and about...

In saying that ?.......I did have a pup one time, and she really was a smashing wee thing..

She came to me off a 'Flapping Track'  Dam, at six weeks of age, and as I was out of work at the time, we went everywhere together...

We killed loads of hares, ...and she mowed Roe deer down, like they were standing still?

Never had any rabbits at that time,...very few around locally and I had no interest in walking miles, for little reward.

Wee Tina was a beautiful creature,....but, her shimmering jet black coat bore the marks of  the wire,...she never quite mastered the art of slowing down...?

I was slowly scrolling down the page as I read this and at first I thought that greyhound looked a right carthorse.?

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Whippets and frustration yips
      By Luckee legs
      Hi to all, so I've never owned a whippet before and have encountered an irritating habit that got worse in the last month of ferreting and was wondering if anyone out there has had success minimising noise during ferreting?
      So he runs prey silently, almost never barks at home so I was very happy going into his first winter, but.... when the ferret slot machine is not paying out fast enough for his liking he yips at the holes he senses are near the underground action. On top of that, if he runs a bolted rabbit to ground again he persistently barks at the hole while constantly looking at me as if to say "get them ferrets over here mate, I've got one for you"
      I've a very experienced collie lurcher who is a dream to ferret with but the whippet seems to make no reference to the good stuff he does. Any ideas on managing this?

      Picking from a litter
      By Oshea
      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,
      oshea
