Exactly the same with all my whippets too. None of em opened up when in pursuit, ever. And all had great feet. In fact, I really don't know where most of this 'whippets got shit feet' comes from, cos I've never seen one with bad feet!
Talking pure whippets mind, not non peds
Don't know about others from same litter, but my lads bitch is 21".
He put a pic up of her on here a few weeks back, brindle bitch.
I'll have a look for the thread now ?
Pages 66/ 67 on this thread. Not his shoes though lol ?
Yep, the kc sire to my lads kc bitch is 22 3/4" tall, and has had a very good working career. Him over a good size greyhound bitch would be the possibility of some top class pups
Yep, and I have to say, taking everything into consideration, these days I'd have to have another 1st cross whip/grey bred down from some of those same lines.
I don't want a fox dog, or a coursing dog, or a dog that I can train to do 15 different things with.
Whip/greys suit me to a T ?
For me bill, dogs with a fair bit of nimrodel and nevedith in em were great ?.
Have to say mind, the last 20 ish years, I certainly haven't kept my eye on the ball, and there are are probably pure whippets from different lines doing really well. But even the good lines today, will have come from those good lines of years ago
Yep, seen a fair number this year, in places that I haven't seen for a while
As above, but sure as eggs is eggs, NO f****r will hear from my lips where they are ?
My thoughts exactly lol. I don't think they'd be too bad actually on small vermin. Wouldn't pay anywhere near that for one though. But seen a couple of adverts 2 - 3 years ago for I G x whips, one litter for £200 a pup, the other £250, different litters and breeeders
No probs fella, that's the problem, well, sort of, on here., it's very easy to misinterpret what people are trying to convey to others.
I did it the other day, one of many times, on sock's thread about his new pup lol ?
So you've seen a couple of whippets working that didn't impress you. So, in your opinion, after having seen possibly only two, all whippets are no good?
Not looking to argue, just interested as to why/how you formed your opinion
You're probably like 90% of the people on here, that have never even seen a tidy whippet, never mind a properly bred whippet at work. Big difference between shit bred whippets owned by nuggets, and properly bred whippets owned by people that know what they're doing.
Sorry about that tommy, hope you find the pup you're after ?
