What's your views on a Working Whippet

[ci5 9]

waht has to be look ate with the whippet is what you get, if you breed worker to worker of any breed you have a better chance of producing workers, but not everyone will be a world beater. fact. if you breed 2 whippets together you get a whippet, if you breed 2 first cross collie greyhounds then the pups will be some like greyhounds some like colies and a mix, they wont nesseraky carry the best of both. this is the same with all breeding of all animals not just dogs.

 

like game birds they wont all have what it takes, so what you consider is there individual qualities the meat to bone, ratioe aggression ect and pic what is best for you and breed them together.

 

the [bANNED TEXT] whippets bred together should in theory produce good off spring and soem will still be better than other. there are alot of line out there to be considerd and different breeders will go down different lines, the workers tend to be more heavey boned good deep chest and strong back with stamina and nose to last all day. these need some out crosses and for me that would be find a good showbred dog that is working regualr with consistant results. mainly on the chosen game you are after. some people would choose to go down a racing line, to put speed into there dogs but for me this would not be my prefeed option as they seem to fine and lack stamina and wieght for hard graft in shite weather. That is only my opinion [bANNED TEXT] or wrong.

 

my dogs are out as often as possible and do all i ask, at the end of the day you have to pick a dog that suits you and your chosen game its as simple as that.

 

most people will have seen the ratting post i did last year, where my 2 whippets which had never encounted something that bits back caught 65 in the first out, the following day was about 25 in 1/2 hour and the day after 112 in 1 1/2 hours, not bad for first timer, the farmer was over the moon and had been talking to another dog man in the pub who had told him whippets can catch rats and he must be mistaken, yes thay did a superb job but terrier lads who soley do ratting would not swap there terrier for a whippet

 

my thing is stick to what suites you and enjoy thehunting and watching your dogs work.

I like whippets but they a little to thin skinned for me. Shivering in the cold and wet and getting marked up easily. Good rabbiting dogs more suited for ferreting imo

Shivering in the cold n wet, not mine pal, depths of winter and im off out, do you think fer 1 min i would keep em if the were shivering little tykes, the only time mine shiver is in anticpation of getting out in the fields, rain, snow whatever, from good stock, and in the right hands, superb dogs
