I don't mean drive as in 'mega prey drive', and not fragile as in 'they didn't snap a tendon or knock a toe up, or break anything, after running 300 metres, which people have suggested they are 'too fragile'. They obviously aint as robust as other types of running dog, but to say they are all too fragile etc, is a bit of a sweeping statement, especially as loads of them do race etc without breaking their legs or snapping tendons in their hocks etc. Edited July 17, 2021 by shaaark Quote Link to post

Why do you think a beddy/whippet will be ok with your families allergies? The ones I've seen, and the one bitch I owned with a fair amount of bedlington in, had the worst coats I've seen on lurchers, and were forever shedding! Quote Link to post

Kalibrgun 927 Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 One way to get round allergies is to be around the cause I've had bar allergies all my life and the more I'm around the trigger the less it affects. Quote Link to post
