I like a little whippet Cross for ferreting ?

Tbh i reckon most whippets are rubbish. The ones i know of and seen will all jack on rabbits. The windier and wetter a night the pickier they get. Good fast little lurchery thing you just cant beat.

it's the age old thing it's your money it's your choice. many moons ago beddywhippet pups were fetching around £45.g. Kelly at Brownhills regularly advertised in the shooting news at £100.me and a mat

And I bet the only thought in their head when breeding the litter was £££££. If anybody even contemplates paying that for them then they need a clip round the ear hole. 

No difference at all, if a person breeds pet dogs and does it right there’s absolutely no problem. If the bitches get looked after & don’t get the arse bred off them. Bitches get a good life, pups

never owned a whippet a mate had a good 1 must be 30 years ago. did you ever see the blue and white bitch Trev70 has on here I am sure that would change your mind about whippets.

Started in the game ferreting. And thats how wana finish thinking of putting whippet over my beddy grey to produce a.rough whippet be ideal for the job a rabbit in daytime rarely runs more than 25 yrds so i. Be turning the clock back to ferreting /. Ratting type dog i started with ?

Think that would be a good move. seems to be popular now a lot are running collie x whippet grey, and Bedlington x whippet grey. or a cross between the two. if I was a younger man and was lamping again and running a bit of variety that's the way I would be going ?

Can you think of a better pure bred for rabbits?The first cross aren't usually fast enough unless crossed with another running dog.Most fast little luchers are probably 3/4 whippet.

When i was a kid they were all collie / whippet types or just straight whippets ? Think alot may be going back to smaller types since the stupid ban ?

Trev does his thing good luck to him no video of one stood on a warren will change my mind feller i could show you a dog thats done 40s up north down here i seen him start picking after as little as 5 slips. In my opinion they lack that bitch of toughness.

Don't know what your saying mate, I agree whole heartedly, if you read back.To me whippets are the ultimate rabbit breed and have owned them all my life.

Mine will grab feral pigs that other so called tough breeds stand back and bark at so good whippets are a very game dog for their size and build,I think the gamest of all sighthounds.
