Chid 6,738 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 There aren't many failures in whippets. The vast majority will end up good rabbit dogs. The same cannot be said for lurcher litters. There's usually a lot of litter wastage. There's not many failures in greyhounds either, probably a few more than whippets. So here's a thought. As soon as you add non whippet or non greyhound blood you get a lot of poor lurchers, If only somebody would come up with a strain of tallish well jacketed lurchers that would throw as true and honest as whippets then there wouldn't be any need for this section of THL. No more discussion needed. 2 Quote Link to post

Even show bred will catch rabbits and some are realy game. I've got two Mike Brown whippets mother and daughter and they've got more guts than is good for them. 1 Quote Link to post

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Is it a requirement of most whippet owners to be a wee bit deluded? 3 Quote Link to post

I've got two Mike Brown whippets mother and daughter and they've got more guts than is good for them. i had a whippet mike bred years ago, in fact i think it was his first litter that ss sired to silk-cut lady 1994, she was an exceptional little ferreting dog and did catch the odd hare, she was game on other things too but just didn't have the body to last, she had to be retired in her forth or fifth season, where as i have lurchers here into their 10th season.
