I had a whippet found him a bit shivery when ferreting standing about in the cold and wouldn't follow bolting rabbits in to cover. I ad a collie x rough coated and she would follow a rabbit anywhere it went it helped her aving a thicker coat. But still Iv just got a whippet x greyhound pup, but i think I should av got a collie x,never mind ill see how he does,he mainly for lamping.
