Shaddy93 840 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 A lad I know fetched a two year old. I'll whippet last year the lad had only ever done rabbit with it, it go into anything and I mean anything, not an ideal ferreting companion imo you'd be better off with a beddy whippet, something you can take ferreting with you and can lamping too get the right breeding and you can have some good fun with a beddy whippet Quote Link to post
wezza 396 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Got a 5/8 3/8 pocket rocket. Great bunny dog will hammer them on lamp and retrieve to hand. Game as fire any thing you put in front of him Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 3/4 whippet beddy/grey or 3/4 whip DH/Grey imo will be ok day/night I've always liked the whippet/greyhound types with a splash of deerhound. Real sensible and steady mutts, speed to burn, good feet and a goodun should tackle most stuff. My bitch has got a splash of collie in there too, but only about 1/8. Maybe less. She was a slow starter but I wouldn't be without her now... Quote Link to post
Hendog478 21 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I've got a bull whippet greyhound bitch 24 inch she's two year old I don't hold any credit to bringing her on at all as I got her off a friend !! At times I want to rip my hair out and some times I'm proud as punch with her she brings me back to hand what she catch and she's comes back when I call her and she's steady with livestock and good with ferrets not a lot more I can ask for really Quote Link to post

jcm 2,326 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Bull whippets are limited in what they can, I had a small lurchers 22tts and a good bit bull and whippet in him and very strong dog but as I said, limited if you want a rabbit dog go for either a pure whippet or a good saluki whippet 1 Quote Link to post
