markdog 18 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 have various saluki cross dogs and at the moment want to inject more speed into the breeding, own couple of track greyhounds but reluctant to but them across a bitch. Thinking of using a working whippet, but never had anything to do with them. What are your thoughts on the little dogs? toughness? speed? etc and what r the best bloodlines all adverts include sooty sam (r his lines the best or just a selling point? Quote Link to post

parkstone 24 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 are you looking to keep the size down as well as adding speed?. if your looking to inject speed and are looking at pedigree whippets you need to look for a race bred sire as working breds are slower. Quote Link to post
markdog 18 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Dont want the pups to be massive the bitch i have in mind is only 23" like the look of the dog posted on this topic. No not been to a race day but your advice would be to use a non pedigree racing stud. What kinda size is an average whippet dog? as for sooty sam bloodlines are these pedigree racers?

parkstone 24 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 SS lines can & do race but they struggle to compeat against race bred whippets especialy at Open/Championship meetings were theres no club hcp to help as they just dont have the out and out early pace needed for racing. also SS lines seem to be being bred bigger these day and the racing limits are 21" for dog and 20" for bitchs (pedigree racing) so a lot are unable to race due to being over sized.

marko 30 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 anything laguna/nimrodel will give you speed and stamina you would be looking at 19-20 inches for a dog. Quote Link to post
parkstone 24 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 anything laguna/nimrodel will give you speed and stamina you would be looking at 19-20 inches for a dog. these lines will not give you the speed that race bred dogs will their are very few dogs with lagunas/nimrodels close up in their pedigrees racing these days at the top level. if your looking for speed from pedigree lines you need to be looking at lines such as Goodad, Mcarthur, Fairmist, there are many many race bred dogs available at stud that are proven.

FACT i am not saying a non ped will work better than a ped ,they proberly have less stamina too but over 150 yrds nothing can touch them,thats why i used a non ped over my saluki/ghd and yep she s fast ,was nt photofinish ( ped) a fast dog? how did he do against the non peds? yes i have heard of bigland boy off now for a read all the best BB Quote Link to post
