darbo 4,773 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Early 90s collie/whippet x non ped whippet. About 9 months in the pic made a good little rabbiting bitch. 4 Quote Link to post
Loton Moocher 1,252 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 When i started out these little pocket rockets were what everyone in our area used all looked like well built whippets with only the odd few with broken coats , i say collie but could av been any cur in the mix but all were similar.build and all did there job be it ferreting bushing and ratting , when the gene got small think they must have just kept goin back to who ever kept whippets as folk didnt travel far then not even to work , anyone out there still keep these little rockets excluding beddy crosses as they have seem to have taken there place i know coz i got them aswell Quote Link to post

Bobtheferret 1,216 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Don’t understand why there aren’t more collie whippets bred, to many people obsessed with bull blood. In a rabbiting dog (which is all we can legally do!) just no need for bull blood, I have always wanted a 3/4 whippet collie but whenever I have been in the market for a dog they just aren’t available...anywhere! Got an absolute cracker of a dog whippet at the moment and in time I may try to find him a collie bitch or a collie/whippet. 4 Quote Link to post

I have owned beddy whippets and worked with other people’s and also seen collie greyhounds work etc and just feel the collie x’s have a bit more bid ability and intelligence than the beddy’s. My beddy was a very intelligent dog mind and I would 100 percent own another in a heart beat I just always fancied a collie x whippet. I think either beddy or collie x whippet are fine rabbit dogs, personally not a fan of the bull x for rabbits though. 2 Quote Link to post

Loton Moocher 1,252 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I put the post up as a nostalgia thing really as they were the only type lurchers around our way at the time , its not a competition about what x is better than another nowt wrong with beddy crosses or i wunna have one myself but at the time most rabbiting lads i doubt would ever heard of one let alone seen one ?
