I have seen that one YouTube, looks a good strong dog and runs well. would like to see it on different ground hedgerows, brambles, embankments etc, were a dog has to use its nose and really find it's game. that's were these little dogs come into there own. I have no doubt it would handle the difference

Unfortunately all my ground favours the bunny so you a need a mut that aint scared of cover , theres never any question of nose with beddy its the best thing i like about them

Sire - working whippet  

Dam- collie/lab

pictured at 5 months old.

As expected she turned out quite heavy ,but I really only bred her as a later brood bitch to have dogs by some of my faster running dogs .She is a keen worker always out there hunting in cover .Due  the dry areas rabbits favour in nz .these usually incudes  huge wind brown trees. I like to have my running dogs with a thicker leg ,fine legs hitting a hard baked branch or root at speed can only out have the one outcome,given  that my dogs are broken in hunting these areas,accidents can & do happened ,Id rather not pay the vet to have a nice mid winter holiday to the islands .

Put a good whippet over her and have some first class pups for ferreting in our country
