Il start.. 2 year old. Bred from worker to worker, mostly ferreting, lamping mooching dogs, 21" pics have been put up before.

My whippets. Dam and son                  

Hopefully these few old pictures and some of recollections from my early teens (the late 1950’s and early 1960’s) may be of some interest. They’re all old style “rag whippets” and pre date the require

Yeah I think whippets and their crosses are great dogs to start your hunting career with as a kid, also for when you get into your older years and for me most of the time in between, lol. They are one of the easiest breeds to live with, generally healthy, cheap to keep and are exciting to work. I had a time hunting bigger game with bulldogs but have always come back to the little runners and their evil IMG_E0785.JPG.d175bd95dc04b87621b4afe0ffb583b0.JPGaccomplices, the terriers.

They are evil. My two have spent the last two days whinging constantly and trying to dig through the back porch to get an echidna who's camping under there, 😖. The last time they got to one it looked like the dog's face had been hit with a thousand BB's 🤣. Luckily the quills don't dig in like a porcupine's.

While you are imagining, the whippets have filled the ute tray with bunnies and are back home asleep on the lounge.

Each to there own I suppose. I do know what you mean by very “highly driven”. I have one like that aswell that I’m struggling a little with. To me a dog that fecks of hunting up on there own out of site, is a dog that’s had little training. Or just been aloud to do so. Which if works for you great!👍 

This one is nuts. Just starting to come good!

How old is he/she mate.

Think your spot on about lack of training or left to roam like a free spirit I know a few round here that think running feral like is a good thing lol
