He did say that, some of his stags hit 100lb, fast great wind, and coat/feet, and plenty of guts to tackle 30-40 lb yotes. I reckon, one of this put to a greyhound x deer hound would be spot on. You deff need a dog, that can run a deer in the wood, meaning no when to old back at the right time, many a time my big dog gone into Woods nearly flat out, how he don't get hurt feck knows lol, what ever you buy, get it out at a young age to learn it's feild craft = woods, ditches, etc  that way it get used to those. things it will In counter. 

yup, Its easier to them them how to handle themselves at 4 mph than 40 mph.

what breeds excluding lurchers can work deer in a woodland/plane area, (it is legal where I live btw). I have a Black lab x bull x collie bitch who is rapid on squirrel and rabbit/hare in extremely woody areas, on the east coast there are no speedy lurchers around, the lurchers in the states for the most part are just slow greyhounds with funny coats, no real footing or speed, I would love to be wrong about that tho.

I was thinking of a track bitch or a borzoi but I really don't know so any info would be great.

There are loads of good staghound in the midwest.  Especially around Kansas. That is where most of those dogs went when they closed down the track.

When they are in season yes.  

[Let’s see your working whippets!]

All I see now days is house dogs wearing sweaters.    and the owners look even worse.

Dogs look nice and tired.  Well done.

Show greyhounds? 

no clue, I doubt the bigtime racers would do this, but that would be the same with either breed.

Smart looking dog, how tall and how old? Just be careful not to give it too much too young, maybe stick with non biting quarry to start with to build confidence. Should be good for rabbits, maybe Jack rabbits and those little grey foxes you have over there. I've never seen them but they look smaller than red foxes. Sometimes whippets are braver than they should be so bear that in mind too. Good luck 

Thanks.  She's just over a year old.  21" and 35 lbs.

Well I have a beddywhippet and I am still waiting for my first coyote 

First find or first kill?  You think he is game enough to kill one?

[Best hunting dog cross? What was the cross?]

[Best hunting dog cross? What was the cross?]

First post.  I'm in the US and just getting my first whippet.  Looking to run a few jackrabbits and cottontails, could possibly get into foxes as well.  Some guys here are running coyotes, which I would need a bigger dog to do.  What crosses have you liked best for an all-around dog?
