I got a bedy whippet x Russel fly to ground and she will fold herself up to get to it ,

a old terrier man had whippet x Russel that worked brock fox back in the day and he rated it as one of his best earth dogs !!!

Bert griptons "tess" was a whippet x Russel ,and like above he rated this jook above all others at that time .

One of the deepest digs I was ever on was to a welsh hound.

That would do my nut if I wanted a dog for mooching an running stuff but ended up having to take a shovel everywhere I went because the fecker was dropping to ground the idea of owning a running dog for running stuff an the thought of having to use my little arms to shift dirt don’t sound to appealing to me if it did I’d own a terrier id rather you than me

Those moments are pretty regular with them lol.When they come out ok it's these moments and memories that stay with you.I agree they are at the top of their game as a pure bred.

a good Whippet takes some beating but I always prefer a bit of outcross in them.

Iv said it since I was a teen, never saw need for smaller lurchers, lose too much from the whippet an don’t gain an awful lot back

Yep you don't need mini lurcher just get a whippet ,you might get better coat ,skin but nothing else .

of course if you want terrier x best to go to greyhound that's why I chose a bedy grey , bigger stronger kind of jook ,
