jacob 28 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Not wishing to offend any one IMHO no beddy/whippet would live with a well bred peddigree whippet i honestly cannot see the point in these type of lurchers the one i have that is just under 22tts is useless compared to other lurcher to lurcher bred lurchers for the same age.atb dell pure bred whippets just dont have the same durability, stamina , nose or gameness as the well bred beddy whippet.imo Quote Link to post

Their is no need to breed small lurchers [under 21 tts] as they would not catch a cold in some places compared to a working strain whippet And as far as whippets being the poor relative you obviously have not seen meny Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,324 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 working whippets are few and far between where i hunt. the reason being. they cut up bad in the hawthorn and could stand on a sixpence in strong wind and rain. there pace is undeniable but often there downfall. ive seen less than half a dozen up here that got regular work and all bar non where early retired. a pedigree whippet would be as much use as a chocolate fireguard to me mate.

You must be lucky to have nice easy rabbits to catch as no beddy/whippet would get near one never mind catch one around here Quote Link to post
