i wouldnt want smaller then 19", my whippet bitch is just over and i wouldnt but her on anything bigger then a hare.

she had a big buck rabbit on saturday and its bigger then her head

Do`s she struggle to hold them,retrieve them?If you could add a inch or 2 would you,or do you think theres a advantage of her over say a 22"or23"?

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

no, she doesnt struggle to hold them, the first of the night is always taken by the arse end.so she has dropped the odd one.

her retrieving is sound.

she is after all a whippet and i wouldnt want her bigger then say 21"

Wasnt having a dig, my mom has kc whippets, grew up with them, like them. When ever i think of getting one though always think id go whippetx greyhound instead, for that extra inch or two.Why not over 21" Do you think they lose agility then or acceleration

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

If the whippet gets over say 22" i may as well get a whippet cross.

there are plenty of big whippets out there doing the job but its nice to see a small one having ago.

I always had a bigger lurcher, 25"+, but seen as i only take rabbits .

i just fancied trying something smaller.

the land i have permision to lamp over is short grass, football fields, golf courses.

the rabbits are like rockets, over the yrs i have seen a lot of different crosses try and catch rabbits on short cut fields, and non make it look easy.
