Yes that's it the cocker I have does the bushing with the whirrier as I no longer shoot so that's what the cocker spaniel used for now, also we using a bedlington for bushing
Ostly just a pure whippet father to the whirrier but my daughter also has the brother to the whippet and the brother to the whirrier but that one is a different kettle of fish, good length on him and a bit quicker than mine also a saluki lurcher plus I might aswell say before I get pulled up again about it an Italian greyhound that thinks it's a full size greyhound
Speed wise yes pretty nippy mine will keep up with the lurcher but not the whippet,
Please understand this dog was bought for silly money as a pet for my wife, and I had read all the internet had to say about housetraining and the like so maybe I tried a bit harder with him . But after running dogs for 45+ years I wouldn't have even considered one for a working dog and as I said in my first post it wants to be with me when I go out so as said I let it run with the spaniel, after watching the spaniel it took to wanting to do what the workers were doing , it mainly learned itself so I just trai
It's not the cold as much with mine it's the wind he doesn't like,as for being housetrained mine has never done anything in the house and we have female chihuahuas inside aswell but they hate the Italian , my missus makes coats for mine but he keeps getting them of while he is mooching about how the hell he managed I don't know it's a wonder he never got hung up with them,he lost 2 in two weeks but never to be found again as they were realtree camo ones ha ha, more than likely to get critiqued about him again though
For all they say about them been fragile I can well believe some specimens I've seen shivering little wrecks of show bred shite( even though mine is lol) have a look at them lure coursing on YouTube in Germany over roughshod fields I was amazed at them , he is going over a pure bedlington when she's ready.
I have a one in the house they are mental, metabolism is to high in these dogs, but as it will not stop in when I go out ,it has been coming out for about a year and I have let it run with the cocker it has followed him in what he does an d it hunts up very well it has a very good nose on it and will find game itself and is about % whistle trained and as said they will run all day loves to be with the whippets and the lurchers
