Working Whippets

[nellyB 1]

Looking into getting my self a whippet in the near future, and body willing to put up some pictures would be much appreciated.

What do you whippet owners thinks of them as an over all breed? Would like to hear the pros an cons. If any body knows of any whippet pups available could you please inform me, thanks. Nelly

i`ve 1 and shes very good on rabbits but they be a bit freakish if they are in bad weather for eg . heavy rain cold winds they might be a bit colded and i find height on the lamp is a big thing..all the same very good

thanks for the reply mate

They are class rabbiting dogs, but most dont like poor weather although they will easily do a nights lamping in the wind/rain, some are so intent on the job in hand they dont notice it. The only thing that lets them down is their thin skin/coat, my dog looks like frankenstein and hes only 1 year old!! Search my username and look up my threads, there are some pics of my dog on there. Hes 21".

Iv got a whippet mate and she is a bloody good dog, taken hare and rabbit, day and night, very good breed, worth having one mate. Their very good in the kennels and in the house too, just if your wondering mate.
