I don’t think you’ve been out with many whippets, or they’ve been started too young or overmatched. I’ve had many and been out with many more and only seen the odd yapper. Cheers. Quote Link to post

Not so much with a beddy whippet/grey or beddy/ grey. Dont get me wrong, I like a bit of beddy in the cross, I had a little bitch , Delta that was 1/4 beddy, the rest was whippet/greyhound/deerhound and never yapped in her life. Ive owned and worked many whippets, both ped and non-ped and never had one yap but I’m sure some do, again probably by being overmatched or started too young. Again, just my opinion, some will agree, some will disagree Cheers. Definitely over matched.. I was ferreting last year on the edge of a wood and 7 roe came trotting out .. my beddy/whippet went chasing after and the buck turned round and stood his ground.. I bet it thought my dog was some deranged hare they had a bit of a wrestling match then it ran off while the other roe were watching from the edge of the field… more bemused than scared .

I’ve also got access to some straws.. I’ll have a good look this winter and then decide. One of my hunting mates put a coursing dog over his Lurcher a few years ago. The pups are about 3 now and are absolute killing machines. He’s only got bitches though. I live in Lincolnshire and the fields are big and vast, and that’s where mine struggles a bit. But her nose and willing to follow a line well out of sight from me helps he account for bags of game. I offen just put the tracking collar on and let her loose on the edge of a wood or moorland and just watch the tracker and wait for the sound of contact. She’s a good pamper though even despite of her great nose.. straight back, no hunting up unless I let her. I didn't say good mate I said the best Good land area to have to.run on I pop.that way a bit Sounds like you know what you need mate keep.us updated 1 Quote Link to post

You ever seen whippets field coursing The rackets like beagles hunting Maybe so, but when I’ve been to coursing meets, it’s not like that, but anyway, the lad was on about his dog opening up when chasing. If you go to a whippet racing meeting, you get some dogs barking with excitement before a race but I’ve never seen one yap when racing. Just as I’ve seen very few open up when working. The lad was asking for advice about his beddy:whippet yapping when chasing, I’d say ANY type will open up if it’s been overmatched or started to young with frustration, I wouldn’t say it’s peculiar to whippets. But let’s not go round and round in circles Cheers Quote Link to post
Moochersways 845 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Worked a whippet ferreting and on the lamp she never ever yapped......small dogs will tend to yap out of frustration especially on quarry there losing ground on......whippets are excellent rabbit dogs but I'd not run one on much else 3 Quote Link to post
