Kin el, Gooey!!  Might I suggest you book an appointment with specsavers?!! 

There was definitely no greyhound on the sires side, mostly pedigree whippets.

I can’t trace any greyhound on the dams side as there isn’t that much information on the dam, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t, but at a racing weight of 32lb for a dog, I’d guess there wasn’t any greyhound or maybe very little.

Lets not forget, racing and coursing whippets back then looked considerably different to the show whippets of today.

Cheers.

Agree with you, charts.

It's just the fact that whippet looks very much like most whippets would/do when their hind legs are a tad under them.

Gooey just can't help slating whippets, of any type.

Little Mary, mid 60’s;

One of the all time greats; only 23lb but would win 32lb scratch races against dogs and bitches.

Sired by the pedigree whippet Bilko, but dam was bred greyhound sire; pedigree whippet dam . A very unusual way to go.

A perfect example of what non/ped whippet breeders strived for; the size of the whippet and damn near the speed of the greyhound.

Cheers.

Rch Kinky Boy ( Bilko x The Kink).

Racing champion on straights and bends.

I had two match races against it with one of my dogs in 1972 and beat it both times.

Decent money back then, but lost the next match race, still up over the three matches though .

Cheers.

 

Would that 70 pound bet be 750 in todays money

I lost the £70 bet and won the two £54 bets then a few days later won £60 with the greyhounds on the flapping tracks, so ended the week £98 up !

Not bad for a 20 year old back then !

Cheers.

Wracking my brain here mate, but I seem to remember Carson being sired by Indian Joe, or the "mad moustaches " dog Bob, which was sired by Indian Joe.

All a long time ago and memory fades !

Cheers.

You are correct 

injun Joe was the sire to Wayne’s dog , bob being a saluki whippet greyhound 

he was the sire to Carson and indie
