ilesey 0 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 HOW VERSATILE ARE WHIPPETS WHEN IT COMES TO LARGER GAME? Quote Link to post
Lloyd90 509 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think there mainly a rabbit dog to be honest mate. Dont know if they would be any good on bigger things, my neighbour had one and said it wouldnt know what to do with a fox if it caught it and wouldnt catch a hare anyways. It was a star on the rabbits though. I fancy one for rabbits but alot of people say they aint very hardy ? Quote Link to post

wuyang 513 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Preban.....Would catch odd hare if chanced upon and struggle with a good course, couldn't deal with foxes quickly enough..... no matter what the breeding (just my experience). Get a lurcher..... Try the working whippet forum for some unbiased advice Quote Link to post

Chickens4ever05 22 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 they can take most things, with the [bANNED TEXT] dog but they are best suited for rabbits and rats, but have a look on the working whippet forum you might be very supprised what they are capable of.

Moll. 1,793 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Whippets are mainly a rabbit dog, yes some can take other quarry but...................... if you have respect for your quarry, get a dog which can catch/kill quickly. Quote Link to post
