shamus 36 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 my whippet ,who is only small, caught a duck out lamping a few years ago.The ducks quacking drew a big dog fox straight to her so she dropped the duck and got stuck in, i slipped the deerhound and it was all over, the whippet had a big gash on her shoulder. From then on she hated foxes , anything with teeth to the degree that i am careful where i lamp her. Quote Link to post

reddawn 2,173 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 whippets are excellent catch dogs for foxes but to ask a whippet to to do it solo is just being unreasonable, especially if you plan on doing it with any regularity, get the proper tool for the job you wanna do, simples........

Thats it, tool for the job, i remember only to well my first encounter wi fox, i work 2 whippets, vast difference in height n weight, my little bluey who most whippet owners would look down there nose at, she will, and does get stuck in, because like ive stated . accidents do happen, but it took the help pf my other bigger bitch to finish the job, but i was proud of their efforts, and let em be, ive known of dogs for the jobs, coming a cropper Quote Link to post
