Now Mark.wherer it belong's.It's own wee spot.You recon greyhound's can't stay.You're spot on with that statement.But,for some reason,a few can,and if they're smart enough to know who to preserve energy,then all the better.There was once a bitch in the town near to where i live,who would take 50 a night on a regular basis.Now this was a freak,i know.But how many greyhound's are actualy lamp fit,to know just what they can do.I know that when i used to start fitness work,with the w/g,they could'nt stay for their tea,but as time went by,and they got what they needed to get them right,they could stay a good night's lamping.One bitch in particular,could stay a good 70 rabbit's some night's,if it was cold n wet,with a good wind blowin,to keep her cool.Did'nt catch them all mind.Seen her out stay a couple of colliex in her prime too.I also fed my bitches the right stuff too,to improve their stamina.By the way,it was'nt pikey's who tried to buy the bitch,as it was someone from up country,that was took out to see her on the lamp,and at other thing's.Hope you've had a good winter so far Mark,and that you're bitches remain injury free. Remember to leave a few for next year. ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE,WORK OR LAMP THEIR GREYHOUND'S. ...Billy...

Did'nt say it was a greyhound who run 70 in a night,as it was my own w/g bitch who did it.She also ran 5 daytime february hare's in one evening,and killed 3 of them.That was after a morning's ferreting.But then she was 110%fit.So was i,come to think of it.The greyhound bitch who was able to take 50 in a night,was a freak,but one i wish id owned.She was bred to a meril collie,but none of her pup's were as good as herself.As regard's the pup's being bred at the moment for racing purpose's,mine will work a bit too,and for those that dont make the grade,i have a waiting list of good working home's.

[rodders]

I'm being serious,I know that doesn't happen very often :lol: but just this once I am.I think recovery rate after a run is quicker on a whippet/greyhound than a collie cross,and no hiccups along the way :lol:
