NO certainly not greyhound blood was introduced into the non registered whippet (kennel club) breed way before the NNWRF and BWRA came into being a lot of racing being done then was on a time handicap somestill with a 32lb limit over the years the first cross has been bred to first cross and also greyhound hence the increase in the size of the non-ped whippet this has allways been accepted by the NWRF and later on by the BWRA who has a 32lb limit and they have been accommodated within the whippet racing, the term whippet like in appearance is because they they are whippet x greyhound so cannot be classified as pure whippet, a full greyhound is not knowingly accepted for racing in either of the organizations, can't see why anyone would want to breed a greyhound to race as a whippet there is absolutely nothing to be gained financially or other.Judy said:Am I just not understanding this or something? Regardless of whether anyone thinks its fair or not- even if a dog were to be 100% greyhound and even if the owner/breeder was quite open about it - if it were small enough to be "whippet like in appearance" with the rules as they stand at the moment, wouldn't it be within the rules to run it?DENISE BAILEY said:disagree i think theres more than 1 % of none peds scr greyhounds over the years should of read
As i stated dark ages ... and until such time DNA testing is done both organization will have to accept what members say there dogs are breed out of ...unless 100% of proof is obtained
non-ped whippet racing is a hobby it is a family sport with a great social side it costs the majority of members a lot more than they are ever likely to win back
If any member has a complaint regarding any dog registerd with the NNWRF and can provide proof they can be assured it will be dealt with, I believe this would also apply with the BWRA
