Whippet/ greyhound or whippet

[wuyang 513]

My first dog was whippet who was ok on rabbits, but struggled with catching a hare...which is fair enough. When i first started rabbting i latched on to two old blokes who i came across hunting the same fields. Every Saturday morning i would rush to the fields hoping to bump into the two blokes with their three dogs...a small blue whippet, a first cross whippet/greyhound and a big rough haired thing. These blokes were out and out rabbing men and the one thing they always swore was that a good whippet/greyhound bitch took some beating at catching rabbits and that the whippets they had owned weren't as good. Just wondering what your opinions and experiences are.
