Agree with this. Lots of lads keep whippets and never feel the need to get a bigger dog. They are pretty laid back and the ones I've been around have been pretty obedient. Probably never gonna be a world beater but probably the best of the bunch for someone new to dogs. Thing is gaz, nobody really needs a world beater, and whippets do very well at most things anyway. I love em You're right they don't, I certainly don't, but you wouldn't get a whippet for big lamping shifts on all types of quarry on all types of ground. That's what I was getting at. I like whippets too mate.

Not my cup of tea, and I certainly wouldn't entertain the thought of buying one, but I've seen more than a few litters of saluki/grey x wheaten/grey, and in the last 7 or 8 years. Not alot of difference really. But as with alot of x's, you're either going to like them and get on with them, or they're going to cause you a lot of grief, trouble and misery. Oh yeah, 'boys and girls?!' FAAAACK OOOORFF!! Lol

He's just on 11 months now, so hopefully not much growing left. He's just on 11 months now, so hopefully not much growing left. No he'll just fill out 40 KG = 88lb, and yep, should just mature from now on and prob lose a little weight whilst filling out

Strange that eh? Almost every standard poodle I've seen has been very aggressive, far more than many other 'supposed' aggressive breeds. Mind you, saying that, I suppose in the dog you're on about, the agression could've come from the greyhound, who knows? Just musing to myself really lol Next time you see an aggressive Poodle let it see something aggressive and then make up your mind whether they're worthy of breeding workers from. Someone was on here a few years ago boasting about the great poodle crosses he was going to shut up everyone with. He must have immigrated because he never

Just musing to myself really lol my sister had a pure standard poodle, and that was sharp with people, a bloke who kept a pub, had 2 males and both were very good guard dogs, i think it comes from the s/p temp being nasty, and there a fair size dog to get bitten from. most greyhounds have nice temps in general Yeah I know

And just to add these shits will wonder up and down at their will the farmer dare not confront them through fear of threats of burnt out barns,house etc and I can guess what cross(sooper dooper cross smash every thing) these shits use,and no one can tell me any other wise I'm dying to reply positively to this, but I think you are correct, so I shan't! Lol

This old whippet is 14, has caught more rabbits & hares than I can remember he may not kill the foxes but kept them busy till the bruisers get there, when he was younger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh6fwStgtZU Enjoyed watching some of those clips, will watch a bit more when I got the chance

I have to say, that of the people on here that bemoan whippets, and whippet crosses, that they must've seen whippets and whippet crosses that were bred from piss poor whippets. Seriously, practically all the whippets I saw, or owned, almost none of them opened up. And the ones that did, pure or crossed, were entered too soon. Give a dog a chance to mature, many many people on here would be surprised.

Would that hedgehog be a nimble 'hog' or a '90 yard flyer'? Lol

A couple of collie/greyhounds I've seen were pretty unusual. They would've given most people a nervous breakdown!

there 300 notes Made me chuckle that lol not for me, I'm just being nosey and besides I know a breeder that would gift me one. Tho I'd be more interested in a non ped if I'm honest and was seriously gonna get onee You thought about whippet X lurcher? As in one parent a racey lurcher and the other a whippet? Just chucking the idea out there. Might be a shit idea. Lol. Saw one a few years ago and it was a belter. Think the Dam was collie/bull/whip/grey and Sire racing whippet. Was a really nice animal. Looked like a strong 22" whippet. Gaz.that's been done a LOOONG LOOONG time ag

There's been pure whippets as big as that, and bigger, long before MB started breeding his dogs, which incidentally are derived from a lot of laguna breeding. I owned a bich 30 years ago that was 21.5" tts, that was mainly nimrodel, cockrow and nevedith bred. And the sire and dam of my last whippet, different breeding, but with some same dogs in pedigree, 24 years ago were 22.5" and 21.5" respectively. Big whippets are not a recent or rare thing. Not being funny, just highlighting that there's pretty much always been big, and small, purebred whippets about

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant really. Can't see that type being bred with hunting/work in mind
