brunty29cdo 5 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 hi,just wanting a bit of advise from more experienced lurchermen.im goin to see a litter of 6week old 3/4 beddy whippet this weekend but i am unsure on what to get,a dog or a bitch.i will be using in future mainly for ferreting and some daytime mooching on its own. iv also got a stafford male(dog friendly) whos just a pet but im sure he wouldnt take much convincing to get in those bushes. anyway iv been away from working dogs for a few years now since i was a kid,so my dad used to train and bring them on so this one will be my first so to speak. iv asked my dad and he says a bitch would be slightly easier to bring on than a male. whats your take on this? all advice welcome.thanks Quote Link to post

Good luck! Quote Link to post

Lab 10,979 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well since you already have a male dog then i would get another male. Could save alot of hassle later on when its an all male household. Quote Link to post
brunty29cdo 5 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 thanks for everyones advice,looks like il be off to the vets to get the staffords knackers off so there is no accidents in the future. Quote Link to post
bird 10,014 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well since you already have a male dog then i would get another male. Could save alot of hassle later on when its an all male household. yep male, eaiser in the long term . ive had dogs+bitchs, and its ok till the bitch breaks down, then the dogs will be going nuts to get to her. Just keep a eye on the staff, most dogs are ok with pups,when the staff gets used him, they will be mates Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 moody fecking bitches, there worse then women. dog every time for me Quote Link to post
brunty29cdo 5 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 i was worried if i got a male there would be problems with dominance but since the staff is 2 a pup would not deem a threat and the pecking order will remain unchanged even when pup is fully grown.plus like bird said,they will be mates.

poacher3161 1,766 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 The cross you are getting i would definately go for a dog plus even though the staffys having his jacobs off and carnt do any damage you might find he will still pester the bitch [bANNED TEXT] shes in season as the bitch will also possibly torment him as well as my mates castrated terrier tries his hardest to mate my springers [bANNED TEXT] their in season.
