Tyla 3,179 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 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! There handy looking dogs there tyla they look like they can snap them rabbits up for fun on and off the lamp mate Thanks mate, they do me fine most of the time Quote Link to post
