keepitcovert 842 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 How many other breeds can turn like a whippet ,a great advantage on rabbits on short runs. Bigger dogs overshoot, and still fade on long courses. 4 Quote Link to post
neems 2,406 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 They're great to watch run,even just after a lure or tennis ball. the downside being how injury prone they are,but you can't have it all. Quote Link to post

Yeah a mate up north has what he calls 'rough whippets' they're mostly whippet with a bit of lurcher quite far back,they're good to see run but still tough. The one I seen last had a tiny amount of collie and beddy in it way back,but Saluki would probably be better. Quote Link to post

Blueboybilly 164 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Horses for courses. They are a rabbiting dog but capable of more. if you stumble across something bigger then dependent on the individual dog you might have some joy. Definately capable of catching Hare but with Fox and anything bigger I'd just use another dog personally. Wouldn't want to put my whippet into to much of a sticky situation personally but I've got my Beddy Grey that can tackle bigger stuff. Love whippets to death but it's good to have something bigger as well 1 Quote Link to post
