jetro 5,349 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Sounds like great old times. Nothing what so ever like that here with me lol. Yeah I'm looking forward to see how this lad turns out. Hes just going to be a mooching dog and hopefully takes what ever he bumps into. The bitch I have is a small 18 to 19lb bitch. Tough as old boots and lighting fast. The young dog is learning a lot from her. How much staff do you think was in the whippets them days at the meets ray. Atb j Quote Link to post

jetro 5,349 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Looks likes a fine dog hedgecrawler. Is he a 3\4 bred. The fella I have looks a lot heavier built than him. Also is he very head strong. My one can sometimes turn a bit deaf. Atb j Quote Link to post
HedgeCrawler 224 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yes 3/4 bred. He's gone through a phase of not listening but is coming good now.He's definitely got his own thinking out in the field and knows where he wants to go. Quote Link to post

blackmaggie 3,375 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I might be wrong here but I have never seen what a whippet bull could do what a grey bull couldn't but have seen plenty of grey bull do what a bull whippet couldn't 1 Quote Link to post
jetro 5,349 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 To be truthful blackmaggie my two favorite dogs are whippets and apbt. Also the type of fields I mooch on ranges from 1\2 acre to 3 acres with 3 foot stone wall around them. Rabbit is the only thing I chase now, I don't need a bigger dog really. Also if the bull\x bumps into a fox hopefully he will be able to handle him self. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post

Atb j not really sure ,deff not a 1/4, but just that enough that you could see the got bit of staff in them, but looked more in the males suppose because they were bigger heads and frame . 1 Quote Link to post
jeemes 3,491 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 theyre still racing whippets in Tamworth I think. Quote Link to post
jetro 5,349 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Does any of the irish lads on here know if there is or was whippet racing over here. Atb j Quote Link to post
buster gonads 862 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I might be wrong here but I have never seen what a whippet bull could do what a grey bull couldn't but have seen plenty of grey bull do what a bull whippet couldn't The Whippet blooded dog should be able to turn on a tanner, as is the way with whippets, very handy if you quarry is rabbits, the greyhound type would require more room. But if your quarry is, shall we say, a little bigger or harder then, as you say, i,d go with the greyhound cross. 2 Quote Link to post
