I might sound a bit dim, but what is the difference between a racing and coursing whippet to pedigree show whippets? They don't look any different in the photos I have seen, in fact some look better! Is it the cost I know you can pay £400+ for a pedigree? Just wondered Thanks Dawnmally said:I have four coursing/racing line pups left for sale out of a litter of ten.i've got 2 bitches and two dogs
the dam (lucky girl) is line bred sooty sam (on both sides of pedigree)
the sire is parkstone buttons (racing lines)
the blue/white bitch pup
Sorry but its not quite as clear cut as this, there are many whippets which are very successful in both showing and coursing. Whippets are one of the few breeds where dual purpose dogs still exist. I agree though that racing and showing are further apart in terms of 'type'mally said:racing and coursing bred dogs are bred for speed and stamina where as the show whippets are bred for looks.

She won her title at her first ever Open Championship (and is also my dog's niece :thumbsup: )Strike Whippets said:but you wouldn't get a show bred dog winning at opens, just like you wouldn't get a racer winning at show's..........
