Back on topic.

 

Had a good Whippet x Greyhound 21.5" 29lb, good feet, strike, blistering pace, fairly game, off the scale pray drive and exciting to watch . Down side, paper thin skin, shite bite and lack of stamina, bit dumb.

She died in pursuit of quarry at 6 years old, hit a bench and it killed her outright. I had planned to have a litter with her.

Would I have another......may be not.......or may be.

My dad had one years ago great dog about 21 tts a chap offerd him two grand years ago for it pay weekly (no one had money them days)we had it until he was 14 he never had his dewclaws removed so my dad would tape them up before lamping never had any other problems with it.

Just wondering why you don't see many for sale I've had a few and there very good to watch if they control there speed there very capable on anything if bred right so why don't people breed them like Hancock with collie xs etc

There's a limited demand for them for the reasons Leegreen say's above and because they're not so fashionable these days. Anyone who does want one can easily get a well bred one from the non-ped whippet racing crowd so a Hancock type breeder would never make any money from them.

I had one myself back in the 80's. Game,fast, easily trained and good strike but with poor feet and easily torn skin she tended to get injured on anything rougher than grass. Cut stoppers, knocked toes, rips etc. etc.
