    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

    Classifieds, on the homepage

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

    i am just curious why you think that its ok for coursing/saluki bred type pups to be that much and not any other lurcher? Wouldn't personally pay that sort of price for a pup, but that's been the sort of price that I've seen some coursing bred pups being advertised for. And LPD I wouldn't really know how much, or how little, coursing bred pups go for these days. Just making an observation really

    Just had a quick look at the classified section . Deerhound/borzoi x deerhound/greyhound pups. £500 for bitches £450 for dogs . I could sort of understand those sort of prices if they were coursing/saluki bred type pups, but not litters such as these. Anyone interested in taking one on?

    My first dog of my own was a whippet ( well may have had something else in there but basically a whippet), was 7 or so when I got him, called him Haglar after marvellous Marvin, went everywhere with me, got a real soft spot for whippets. To reply to the above posts; I think this is the case with many lads on here, they believe that they need 'a machine' etc etc, or 'the best' type/cross, when in reality a whippet would more than cover alot of their hunting needs. W, Katchum, I knew you were really a secret whippet admirer lol

    Lol, it's all in good fun, I can assure people . And as much as some people might dislike them, there's no getting away from the fact that some of the lads/lasses that own them, have some of these bull x's in tip top condition. Oh yeah, roy I'm not likely to ever own a decent bull x either, and you're right, I've personally never seen a really good bull x work, a fair few lurchers with a bit of bull in that were more than decent, but not just bull/grey

    Only if you shave them first lol
  12. shaaark
    Especially the feathered types lol

    Underrated and underestimated, I love the little feckers

    lol cheered my morning right up that lol

    I totally agree with you shaaark. How lads can say they are lurchers is beyond me mate. Useless lumps n good for nothing. Pedantic and controversial my posts/comments can sometimes be. But bite, you will not get out of me, oh bull cross owner lol.Edited to add, I will say it til my dying breath, bull crosses are NOT lurchers, and as you've just said king, are useless lumps of nothing, that offer NOTHING to proper lurcher work Shaark was you ever molested by a bull cross owner lol or did you catch the missus in with one you owned lol,there is therapy available ,go out and catch some foxes w

    And can I just say, out of ALL lurcher types, which incidentally, I don't cosider bull x's as such, that you COULD NOT pay me enough to own one. Don't care what anyone has to say about them. They ARE NOT lurchers
  19. shaaark
    It's a well known fact, especially on here, that whippets are useless as working dogs. Just get a bull cross, WILL catch everything, pre ban or otherwise, mice to red deer

    I think it's because it's nice when like minded folk have got an interest in what you are doing. They ask questions and offer ideas etc. But you often get more negative responses than positive on here, regardless of what you are doing or how you are doing it. Lol, yep. And it's a bit like 95% of people on here crabbing whippets cos they are SHITE, FACT. But it's ok now cos there's a good chunk of whippet in the original minshaw dogs lol. Slightly off topic, but there we are lol
  21. shaaark
    Probably was pal but still no need to post, it's just annoying lol That was the reason indeed. And as gaz said, you don't need to justify your choice of dog. As long as you're happy, why should you give a toss as to what others think
  22. shaaark
    Lol, yeah righto chief lol
  23. shaaark
    And this, IS THE TRUTH!
  24. shaaark
    Great that . Yep, those whippets are too fragile to run over rough ground though! lol
  25. shaaark
    Very very capable type, and for more than just rabbits, even if the ban does get lifted. Cracking types
