Heard mike brown breeds good quality whippets but have no experience with his dogs im just learning the game but to be fair the whippet is a very under rated dog.

My Whippet used to open up. He was carefully entered and not at a young age. I believe mine started opening up because of frustration, this been caused by only getting short chases in small fields and most of the rabbits going straight down burrows. He used to yip occassionally when the rabbit threw him off. I have worked two lurchers since and none of them opened up when chasing on the same ground.

Ive a whippet that has done a bit (16 month) on the lamp and day time never a peep, BUT if put with a lucher/geryhound starts to sound.It fustration that it cant get there.

So all I did is train the dog to take what its slipped on single no problem. As has been said before the dog is only as good as its training, no matter what breed you have. ATB John
