When i was a young lad and first started out,the lad who first took me out with the dogs had a whippet x russel and a whippet x collie both good dogs. at that time were i grew up most running dogs were whippet crosses of different degrees that was around late 70s early 80s.i remember a couple of occasions when the russel x tried going to ground. out of both dogs the collie cross got the numbers but i would have been proud to have owned any of the dogs

My mate had a whippet russell, was like a miniture whippet, great little dog for cover but a bit too short to have the speed for catching rabbits in the open.

a friend of mine has two 3/4 whippet 1/4 jack russell pups, there only 16 weeks but look very tidy little things

There's a few lads got them on here somewhere. I'm sure Tyla's got a whippet/Russell, does OK with it.

so what would they be used for more bushing and bolting rabbits rather than catchin or are they more than capable of catchin rabbits?

My missus, Assasingirl, has a whippet russell bred by dogger off here. He is nearly two and is growing into an outstanding little dog. He works great bushing, with ferrets and on the lamp. He is 21" to the shoulder and, at times, puts my 24" bitsa to shame! We were lamping at the end of last season and he took 6 out of 7 slips. He has also had some success at other things He is plenty fast enough for rabbits in the open and will get in cover although he dosent so much since we got the terrier.

 

His only downside is that he can be a bit leary with other male dogs and very vocal when excited. Thats usually just before we go out and once hes working hes quiet again. i would have another of this cross without a second thought!

Thanks mate, hes turned out well. it may be because the dam was whippet and the sire russell. They may have taken more to the russell if it were the other way round. The rest of the litter turned out similar, up til recently most were owned by members on here but i think most have been sold on now.

 

Good luck with whichever cross you choose

Tyla, do you know why the others were sold on?

[Malt 379]

Tyla, do you know why the others were sold on?

Probably the same reason all the other pups get sold on, people not prepared to put the time into the dog. If it don't work the first time out, it's shite & gets put up on here in the for sale section for a 'genuine reason for sale.'

I remember seeing another JRT X Whippet on here not so long back, looked a lovely dog, White with Patches, looked a handy little dog.

 

Can't for life of me remember who it was that put it's pic up or what thread it was in though.
