bird 9,593 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 A good run and retrieve by the whippet on this clip from today.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qET30ka-NO4 very good dog did good job, but 1st time ever you really see I think where a bigger dog as a advantage of the smaller purely , with retrieving . both my dogs catch rabbits fairly easy and the bring back always been the best part as the rabbit just scooped up near enough in one stride and brought right in, and my bigger dog even more easy than my older dog one 25in the other 28in. I like whippets had one little 20 in bitch, just like the above dog great at rabbiting . but its only when you see bigger types dogs that it really comes home to you. for very close work edges etc whippets are spot on , but other type work longer runs bigger dogs are better in think .

Owned big dogs for years but never run them on rabbits, I just run them on what they were bred for. I found if I run them on rabbits that's all they wanted when the going got tuff. 28'' for rabbits is too big for me, how often is he lame running them 3 times a week Edited November 21, 2015 by Trev70 1 Quote Link to post
