Mum has finally let me have a dog

[pencoed hunter 7]

lmao how can anyone say forget about whippets!! :realmad: the lad wants advice on getting a dog and he his getting advice to stay away from the breed??? yes whin you are obviously knowledgeable..... pencoed you dont need big dogs to take big stuff... if a little terrier can do it then so can a whippet and trust me they can! whatever you want to go for get a dog to suit the land you are intending to hunt if its big open fields then the collie x grey or saluki x grey ect are what you would be looking at if there small fields then the whippet and whippet crosses are what your looking at matey...

 

yis

 

Thanks for the advice mate

[pencoed hunter 7]

ffs get the ultimate all rounder all heart fur feather big small stuff the one and only wait for it a first cross greyhound x no not bull, beddy. best all rounder and i have one to prove it if anyone thinks different. the only thing they aint is hare coursing dogs but thats alegal anyway so so what, even though they might take the odd one and why would you need a bull x for ferreting your not ferretings pigs

 

Iv said before I'm not just using the dog for ferreting I'm going to try everything I can with it

[pencoed hunter 7]

Get it as a pup but not gona put it on anything til next season

then you will waist the best learning years of its life ,that can never be replaced .

 

 

I wont be able to get it for a few months and I want to spent allot of time training it ill show it a few rabbits like

each to his own i think mate i have a pure laguna whippet and i wouldn't swap him for any cross

the lad is asking for advice from people who don't know the ground he is working so helping him the best they can from there own experiences

had lurcher for almost 30 years now and had a few different crosses and they all have there good and bad points i think he needs to get out with some local lucher lads and see what they have and how they work

[abbott 0]

dont rush into buyin a dog mate, i rushed in on buyin my first dog and i got a bull greyhound, was a top working dog but was a b***%*d for fighting, i personally think the best dog to start with is a beddy whippet

What if he wants to do small fields and big fields ? Does he buy a whippet & a greyhound collie and run the whippet in the small field then run the other in the big field next door ??

Im not even sure if iv ever seen a whippet die naturaly most of them die of hypothermia or brake in half on a bit of rough ground dont they ?

Good adivce mate the lad says he wants to do a bit of every thing and most people are saying beddy/whip [nothing against bed/whips]

[lurcher lass 9]

nothing wrong with a decent whippet, my working bitch is a whippet x deerhound / greyhound, she'l take fur and feather i can't fault her,, the few flaws she has are to my doing and i know better for the next dog, she's patient ferreting dog and excellent day time moocher, lamping is a tad weak due to me not being able to bring her out as often as i'd like,, i'm working on that and she's improving each time.

 

end of the day take your time in getting a dog, talk to people who have been in the game for years, for me a collie cross is a difficult first time dog as they have so much brain, grand when it goes in your favour but could be a downside too,, bull x though their are some VERY good examples of this breed there are also idiots who own Some of them so be carefull and don't be afraid to ask for advice,, whippet x make sure you get a working type whippet bloodlines as the racing and showing can be a bit light and nervy but like i say the good ones will do you proud,, terrier crosses can be great but again there are some bad examples of this breed can be aggressive and a tad snappy,, etc etc

 

all i'm trying to say is don't rush, choose your dog very carefully,, see what kind of vibe you get from the breeder, owner of the dam, remember this is the first interaction your pup has had with people, you don't want a pup that learnt to cower or be nervous around people as you'll have a hell of a lot of work before you've even started!! talk to plenty of people, visit LOTS of litters, so your not tempted to have the first cute bundle,, the cross isn't that important is the TRUE working abilities of the parents and the way the breeder brings the pup up

 

put plenty of work into finding a good pup and you'll get a grand working dog to suit you, all the very best of luck in finding your pup!
