only whippet I had & I bought it for my younger cousin as a 1st dog £90 he was proper sort he was in all fairness but my cousin lost interest in him by time he was 9 months old so I gave him away & he ended up a cracking little rabbiting dog keen as mustard but broke his neck doing his job when he was about 5-6yr old..like you said rob people breeding for £££ instead of working ability..have you thought about a beddywhippet Rob? ? atb cbx
