  1. ive had both mate and you cant nock either they have a heart of a lion at the minute im on with a 1stx beddie/greyhound but the only thing they lack is that bit of speed on top end so in 2yrs time in putting my mates whippetxgreyhound onto it so the pair will be working together and i will get more stuff

    Top end speed should not be too much of an issue since most of the fields are not excessively big....and I don't have many hares where I am, mostly rabbits.

     

     

    Couple more questions:

    1. Seems like (from reading other pposts) the limititing factor is getting a good working Beddy sire the litter. Is this a big problem and you run the risk of getting a pup which will not be very game?

     

    2. Much of my rabbit hunting is done in the winter....that means frozen ground and snow. Can these dogs run reliably in this type of environment, or is it too hard on their body (slipping, hard on feet, etc.)?

     

     

    Thanks for all the replies, and looking forward to some more pics :D

     

     

     

    i think you would be better with a beddi whipp if your runnig harder ground as they are alot lighter and more nimble and wont get knocked up as much,iv watched them catch rabbits on dried out ploughed fields and thought oh sh#t :o ,but turned out no harm done maybe a graze or a cut toe but nothing that phases them,a dog say 20pound heavier could have came of alot worse but saying that the few beddi xs iv owned and saw have had good feet anyhow,i just prefer a bit whippet in the mix jmo atb :thumbs:
