mattyg 1,862 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 just wondering if any of you lads have taken hares regular with whippets? i dont own whippets or run em, just wandering thats all! interested in what kind of law you give em and how they compare to greyhounds and the more common saluki cross stuff, dont turn this into a slanging match just looking for a bit of info. cheers, matt Quote Link to post
wuyang 513 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I had one many years ago, he was as keen as mustard, but in all fairness he struggled with hares..lacked the stamina unless taken straight away. Quote Link to post

deanflute 550 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 2 Gypsies pulled up behind me when I was walking my dog on Monday and tried to buy her, Obviously I said shes priceless but the passenger said he'd got a little Whippet that had 7 Hares the previous night, I know its not the done thing to lamp them and I really don't know if he was being truthful but I swiftly told him if his Whippet was killing 7 Hares a night he wouldn't need to buy mine or any other dog Quote Link to post
