When my youngest lad is a few years older, he'll be 2 in March, I can very well see me getting another whippet.

Too old for a 'powerhouse' type lurcher now, with all the 'commitment' that goes with them.

Yep, a nice, smallish, easily looked after, gentle, easy to deal with WHIPPET!!

Could well be just the job. 

get it done shaark another youngster at it only a good thing mate

Bird, there's only one track still racing greyhounds in Wales, the valley stadium in Ystrad Mynach, caerphilly.

Owned and raced greyhounds, over the years.

Still prefer whippets, especially nowadays

yes mate ,since buying this little whippet our soft furnishings have never been so good

Our whippet missed this trend, lb for lb he is the most destructive dog I've ever owned. Just when I think there's nothing left on show he can f... up it's not unusual to come home and the collie lurcher is at the front door like "it wasn't me" and the whippet is by the back door ready to get ejected

Been thinking about it myself as i could not do a decent lurcher justice and i would end up getting in bother though i am leaning more to some type of whippet x like my mates old dog who i had for a week when he went away and has never been as gutted when he lost her she was a brilliant mooching dog with the catapult and one of most good natured house dog i have ever had the pleasure to have around for a short wile and she was a springer whippet.

Some people underestimate these we dogs I've hunted with whippets for many years now some of the best wee bushing dogs I've seen were whippets and one thing I can say brilliant nose on them it's like any thing it's just getting the right one that suits you  

[THE STIFFMEISTER 17,009]

Lurchers will be finished in ten years 

decades of breeding and lifetimes dedicated to running dogs chucked on the bonfire by a couple million donated by lacs to Labour . 

a crying shame when you think .
