Think maybe its about time the bickering stopped.The race was run and the fastest bitch won Let it drop Mark.Whippet/Greyhounds whatever percentage have been lurcher racing for years,and will continue to do so.Look at the poll says it all those who have bothered to vote haven't got a problem with them running.As for running the dogs at both non peds and lurcher racing whats the problem with that.If you've got a dog for racing then race it.That simple.I remember a few years back Mike saying to me 'im gonna have to get a whippet/greyhound if I want to keep up with the dogs that are racing at lurcher shows' He was right Mark and he went ahead and did just that.Joined the many of us that own them.Your race just proved he did the right thing Karen

Tag's looking great Mike,have you put a pic on non ped,Steve and Shelly will love him Karen

I went to lurcher shows and raced and showed lurchers and had so much fun, met lots and lots of new friends both in Northern Ireland and in England and Markbrick there is no key in my back so you're not winding me up :huggles: Just because England got hammered at the rugby at the weekend please don't take it out on me. :teehee:

Mark Myself and my partner are the owners of Miss Ellie and also the breeders of Ellie May current over 23" All Ireland Champion, Miss Tori Current Under 23" All Ireland Champion, Whistler and Ellies Star. I wanted to reiterate a few things others have said. If you werent already familiar a Greyhound is a PURE BREED a lurcher is a mixture. The above dogs I refer to are LURCHERS your dogs are LURCHERS not!!!!!!! GREYHOUNDS. You had a Lurcher race against a Lurcher you got beaten Nearly winning isnt good enough im afraid you accept it but keep trying to prove yourself. You brought it but sorry you didnt bring it home, if you are willing to accept a suggestion then I suggest you get yourself a 7/8th and join the game. Then noone can say anything.

Think you've got it wrong mate!! You are implying your dog raced against Greyhounds! They are 7/8th's but they are not pure greyhounds they are LURCHERS! Dont call me a liar either. I know exactly you are saying you got beaten all im saying is that your a sore looser! Im just proud a dog that my partner bred turned out so well. Im sure you have a good mix also so happy racing and hope to race someday!

Sorry made a mistake in that message about the 7/8th OOHHPPS Look just look in the database as John Humphries suggested that will tell you all you need to know.

:wacko:

Also forgot to say Miss Ellie belongs to us we bred Mikes Dog and the greyhound belongs to a very very very good friend of ours so We know the breeding inside out!

 

[mike palmer]

hi mark, whilst we're on the subject of breeding, you keep refering to your dogs as collie crosses.. i would certainly not dispute the sire of your pups is a first cross collie greyhound, but i think i know more about the breeding of the dam than you do as i brought this line of whippet greyhounds into Cornwall. Firstly it was a greyhound cross non-ped whippet, this was crossed with a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 whippet, then i would have no more to do with this line as people started inter-breeding them and lots of this line started suffering from fits and this is still going on... so we can safely say that your pups are 3/4 greyhound 1/4 whippet cross collie greyhound. Which means your dogs are 1/4 collie, the rest is made up from racing greyhounds and non-ped whippets.

Must reply to this,sorry.But Whippetxgreyhounds are not and never will be LURCHERS.This is an imposibility,as two sight hounds bred together result in ofspring which are still pure sight hound and not Lurchers.A Lurcher must have base blood in it eg,collie,terrier,Alsation,Labrador,pointer,setter,or whatever.As you well know ive raced Whippetxgreyhounds for long enough years ago,and i can say hand on heart ,they were never lurchers,although they were able to do the work of one.And i will race them again,of that you can also be sure. No offence meant here ,but fact is fact. The gene pool of some 7/8x,or even 3/4xcan be as pure greyhond as an actual pure greyhond,and some can also throw back to almost pure Whippet,so unless someone has a lot of cash to spend on profesional help,we'll never know exactly what % our dogs are.But when you breed a 3/4 to a greyhound,the resulting pups are basicaly 7/8,which is almost as pure as we can get.This not only covers WhippetxGreyhounds but every other breed of dog known to man.The way things have gone in racing over the past few years,you have to breed this way to be in with any real chance of winning.So as the saying goes ,if you aint in,you cant win.So get youreself a 7/8.I'll try to do it the old way first,with a 3/4.Not much hope though. ...Billy... PS."Goodluck everyone for this year"

hi mark, whilst we're on the subject of breeding, you keep refering to your dogs as collie crosses.. i would certainly not dispute the sire of your pups is a first cross collie greyhound, but i think i know more about the breeding of the dam than you do as i brought this line of whippet greyhounds into Cornwall. Firstly it was a greyhound cross non-ped whippet, this was crossed with a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 whippet, then i would have no more to do with this line as people started inter-breeding them and lots of this line started suffering from fits and this is still going on... so we can safely say that your pups are 3/4 greyhound 1/4 whippet cross collie greyhound. Which means your dogs are 1/4 collie, the rest is made up from racing greyhounds and non-ped whippets.

hi mike yes your right whiskeys the dad a three quarter good old workin g h collie x greyhound whippet and yes you told me last year there is fits in the dams line andi hope i bred it out with the collie x but it was only when the pups were 7 months i found this out and to me inter breeding is WRONG but most of you did it down here the pups have 15% collie and when i breed one this year it might have less then but lets see on that one ,BUT WE ARE GOING OF THE SUBJECT YOU SAY ELLIE IS NOT A 7/8TH WHAT DO YOU KNOE WHAT HER BREEDER DOESNT IAM CONFUSED

Think maybe its about time the bickering stopped.The race was run and the fastest bitch won Let it drop Mark.Whippet/Greyhounds whatever percentage have been lurcher racing for years,and will continue to do so.Look at the poll says it all those who have bothered to vote haven't got a problem with them running.As for running the dogs at both non peds and lurcher racing whats the problem with that.If you've got a dog for racing then race it.That simple.I remember a few years back Mike saying to me 'im gonna have to get a whippet/greyhound if I want to keep up with the dogs that are racing at lurcher shows' He was right Mark and he went ahead and did just that.Joined the many of us that own them.Your race just proved he did the right thing Karen
Tag's looking great Mike,have you put a pic on non ped,Steve and Shelly will love him Karen

Mark Myself and my partner are the owners of Miss Ellie and also the breeders of Ellie May current over 23" All Ireland Champion, Miss Tori Current Under 23" All Ireland Champion, Whistler and Ellies Star. I wanted to reiterate a few things others have said. If you werent already familiar a Greyhound is a PURE BREED a lurcher is a mixture. The above dogs I refer to are LURCHERS your dogs are LURCHERS not!!!!!!! GREYHOUNDS. You had a Lurcher race against a Lurcher you got beaten Nearly winning isnt good enough im afraid you accept it but keep trying to prove yourself. You brought it but sorry you didnt bring it home, if you are willing to accept a suggestion then I suggest you get yourself a 7/8th and join the game. Then noone can say anything.

:thumbsup:

Think you've got it wrong mate!! You are implying your dog raced against Greyhounds! They are 7/8th's but they are not pure greyhounds they are LURCHERS! Dont call me a liar either. I know exactly you are saying you got beaten all im saying is that your a sore looser! Im just proud a dog that my partner bred turned out so well. Im sure you have a good mix also so happy racing and hope to race someday!

It all depends on who's opinion you wish to side with as to whether you call a greyhound x whippet a lurcher. In billy's opinion it is not but in my opinion it is. I know that famous doggy men in the past have stated that two pure sighthounds mated together produce a longdog but also famous doggy men in years gone past have disputed this. It just depends on who's view you side with. Also it is well documented that there has been terrier blood bred into racing greyhounds as well as whippets many years ago but we won't go into that discussion.

Maybe to keep everone happy we should call them lurcher/longdog shows. :lol: :- "
