So our Labrador died recently. and I have been kinda been given permission to get a long dog for the birthdAy ..we ferret with two collie x grey and they are super but every topic read bout a pure Whippet the more I want one I am very fond of b.p.r's I think e is a cracking dog and there loads of others I think are smashing dogs. .... the dog wud mainly b used for ferretin along side the existing lurchers And lamping and just me the dog and a Jill on the bunnys Im just looking for yer thoughts on a Whippet suitability to what I would be doin with the dog

From what you say,a whippet whould be ideal for you.

I had a whippet found him a bit shivery when ferreting standing about in the cold and wouldn't follow bolting rabbits in to cover. I ad a collie x rough coated and she would follow a rabbit anywhere it went it helped her aving a thicker coat. But still Iv just got a whippet x greyhound pup, but i think I should av got a collie x,never mind ill see how he does,he mainly for lamping.

What happened to the shivery whippet & the rough coated collie cross?

[Dranny GLC 112]

The shivery whippet went to be a pet with a friend and the collie x was sadly hit by a car and had to be put down. Iv got a saluki bull greyhound he 3 years old 26 tts he not bad at ferreting just a bit big.

I love my whippet. Turning out to be a cracking ferreting dog and just getting him on the lamp. All i am interested in is a mooch about and see what rabbits are about. Hes great with the ferrets, good with children and around other dogs.

 

Keen as mustard when ferreting and he will chase the bolters. If thats all you want a dog for then i would get one

She where 3/4 beardie I had only just started her on lamp but day time mooching and ferreting she was bang on. Deffently gonna get another in the future.
