I have found that if introduced to the rabbiting game,..slowly and carefully,..and not encouraged to hit their lure/target like a mad thing,..or 'geed up' too much,..the 'Hard Blood' specialist bred Racing Whippet is one hell of a useful tool... I like them,..I REALLY like them.....
Indeed,.my own new puppy,.'SKY' is virtually a whippet/greyhound type of thing,..with a wee bit of collie thrown in for good measure I cannot wait to get her out and watch her sitting quiet on top of a warren
