pedigree whippets are pure whippet, whereas non peds usually have greyhound blood in them :thumbsup:

Dean also posted on another topic this. So I've added to his post. (I've moved both his topics from his chit chat into peddie and non peddie racing)

H im new on this site and was just wondering if there is a whippet racing club or terrier racing club near me i live next to epsom downs or epsom race course (horse racing lol)(surrey).

Ihave a Parson russell at the mo and would like to get a whippet and get into the racing whippet but like to join a local club 1st before buying one to learn all i can 1st.

Hope u all can help.

 

Dean.

Not necesarrily true (either way if some folk are to be believed)

Pedigree whippets hava a document stating they are registered with the Kennel Club and a paper pedigree full of names of their ancestors which were all also registered with the Kennel Club.

 

Non-pedigree whippets do not have a document stating they are registered with the KC although ALL their ancestors (including parents) MAY have all had a piece of paper from the KC. But they also may be a cross between a pure-bred whippet (one whose blood-lines were all whippet for several generations) and another breed eg greyhound OR a combination of the two

non peds tend to be stronger and faster the pure whippets,,,,,

also non peds tend to hav a straighter back ,,,,and tend to be more mucled up than a pure

peds tend to have more off an arched back,,,

personally i think non peds look better,,,, :- " :- "

Spot on .....and I own ped racers lol ........Though I must disagree with them being more obedient than peds .........My peds are very obedient, but our only Whippet x years ago was a right :rant: in more ways than 1 .......Plus the Greyhounds I've had over the years, really just did what I asked (eventually) ..........4 of my ped racers are good enough to do well in obedience .......and the other 4 are just plain easy
