my first dog was a 2 year old beddy whippett greyhound and was a fantastic rabbitt dog both day and night i didnt get her until she was 2 years old i managed a litter from her and i will always kick myself for not holding 1 back for myself instead i give a pup to my bro and hes turned out a better allround dog than the mother! and i now have a collie whippett greyhound which i had from pup and hes turned out to be a good rabbitt dog although he is qiute a big lad he still turns well in my opinion taking dogs on that are all ready running can be a bit of a lottery but with a well bred pup you g

yes mate both dogs have done me and my brother proud over the years the blonde dog stands around 24 inches and was bred out of my old bitch megan which was a good rabbitt dog .he is as game as they come and ultra loyal hes so quite you forget hes there infact if i can get a good bitch to put him across then ill hold a pup back off that breeding no probs the other dog jasper is very much a different animal hes very smart and loyal but a tad mard he is mostly a lamp dog but does well with ferretts in the day to a piont where if he dont mark then i dont bother he stands around 26 inchs all in all
