Here`s a few reasons i can think of,some have already been said.Whippets are not stupid,readly use there noses,Will have a go at anything,But are handicaped by there size,A crosss with the greyhound brings up the size, with out becoming to big, and most importantly for lads that like to see a dog that runs its quarry at electric pace,You might call it do or die.There is no dilution of the speed.Personally i love to watch these dogs run,You might be home earlier,but every run would have been exciting.So while a whippet might be a rabbit specialist,cross it with a greyhound,you will get sport w
