Josh1996 14 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Bull x whippets are a decent breed. One of my mates has a beddy x bull x whippet and it's a very handy dog, small and quick and another friend has a bull x whippet x greyhound that's also a pretty small dog and extremely fast. Never really seen a straight up bull x whippet like but i'm guessing they would make cracking dogs. Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 sire to mine was jp he is a good dog quick off the slip and plenty of drive and fire in him.he runs well on the lamp and good at turning.just not good at bringing back. Quote Link to post
Clarkey92 10 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Have a bull x whippet myself, compared to all the other pups in her litter she looks like she inherited a lot more whippet than bull but you can tell its there, I'm really pleased with her she has a brilliant temperament and works well, I wouldn't change her for anything now.
