Something positive, I hope...
I've been doing a bit of mooching to find out which scratch racing whippets would be able to line pure greyhounds and must admit I've been pleasantly surprised at how many decent dogs are out there with very little greyhound in their breeding. I think a list might be useful for those wishing to line a greyhound dam with the purpose of producing heavyweight / scratch dogs so feel free to add.
If there's any that aren't eligable for other reasons (castrated, deceased etc) then also add this kind of info.
Scratch Dogs
Chunkie
Junior Walker
Dodgy Chaser
Rhyme N Reason
Avit
Simpson
Nikitason
Vandason
Masai
Heavyweight Dogs
Aqueous
Jarvis Cocker
It's Off
The next list are dogs that cannot line a pure greyhound. They all have a grandparent that is a greyhound (1/4) but are dogs that have done well in racing and maybe suitable alternatives to using a full greyhound. (again feel free to add to this list too) Some of these dogs have never been used at stud, which is a shame.
Anyone's Company
Pip's Pride
MerryMaker
IOU
Bigger Bugger
Showboat
Definitely Blue
No Surrender
Bud
Rapscallion
Pems Lad
Micky Whizz
Refuse To Bend
Challenger
Sailaway
Show Three
Sugar Fire
Rapid Jazz
