I had a whippet x greyhound back in the early 90's, he was 23'', a power house, took the lot, from mouse to fallow buck, no joke, hardly got injured, was prehaps a one off, but best dog i ever had.. Frank. i now what you meen frank i think we all jest get one or two dogs that are the real deal as some would say :drink: david Quote Link to post

merle24 61 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Never owned one but from what ive seen they tend to be a bit mad in on stuff, and prone to injury, wont have the stamina of other crosses either, fast twitch sprint machines, sometimes the fastest dogs dont catch the most stuff, they tend to miss a fair bit, i prefer a dog with gears.

longdog13 36 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I had a first cross, 23 tts, he could really shift, great turning, sharp strike. But a severe lack of brains. Just wouldn't stop. He was prone to cuts and tearing, and regularly threw a toe. Even on stunningly clear ground. Great dog otherwise. He had to retire young, he was just spending more time in recovery :alcoholic: Also, his catch rate was very good, Quote Link to post
woodbine 11 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I have never owned one but have always thought they would be a good cross,especialy in the small fields that we have here (north east Scotland).I definately would consider one in the future. Quote Link to post
