I run one mate, and he does for me. When it comes to ferreting, and general mooching, our team, which is a whippet, a 5/8 3/8 grey/collie and a bull/whip x beddy/grey, seem to be able to pull most things off between them, and are learning to work to the best of each other strengths. Like you said, i think a lot underestimate the whippet as a breed. . . .
