This isn't Ashley Whippet - Ashley had far more black on him, with a black rump and black left hind leg as well as a large black saddle; Whippets are also larger and lankier than this dog. My guess is this is a Smooth Fox Terrier, maybe Ashley's successor or just another dog Stein trained?
See watch?v=4or3ugttupw for a video of Ashley at a competition, you can see the clear differences :)

You are correct that the identity of the dog is NOT Ashley Whippet, it is of Lady Ashley (one of his daughters).
While it may be difficult to get a good close up of the dog, there is no doubt as to the identity of the person or dog in this video as I used to travel with Stein and his dogs and was there on the day the video was shot.

@sportyguy2009 Ahhh, I see. I misread the title and thought it indicated this was the original Ashley Whippet :)
Was she a mix? She's much tinier than Ashley was, even being a female. I can't find any information online about her mother.

Lady Ashley was quite a bit smaller than Ashley and more stocky. I can't speak about any of the breeding that took place, but I can say that she was a pure whippet. Some of the more famous offspring of Ashley Whippet were Lady Ashley, Ashley Jr. and Ashley III. They were the ones Alex kept and performed with.
