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
