Thanks mate I’m new to the dogs for hunting always just had ferrets and guns. But this little gsd ive got is great dog never saw a gsd move as fast or jump the way she does really smart too. So just need as much info as possible before breeding her with something to get a nice rabbit dog but don’t want to do it and it to be a waste of time. But your info has been great thanks

I see this old post anyone got any new info on it? I’ve got a great wee working line German shepherd super fast very agile I work her in tracking, obedience, protection and agility she excels in all. I’ve got back into the hunting after 20 years away for it and was thinking about crossing her with a whippet or greyhound was thinking more the whippet for a smaller dog as she would just be for rabbits.

Sounds a cracker, mate.

If your concentrating mostly on rabbits, a good biggish whippet would probably be the best type of runner to put over her.

Good luck.

I disagree I would want something taller /longer legged incase some of the litter turn out like stumpy shepherds .

U know the score forest

[pengelli 371]

i would use a good open class greyhound on her as i think pure whippet would absorb a lot of the german shepard side of it could have a lot of litter wastage jmo

Why's that, mate?

I've seen a few 1st cross whippet/collies that were very racy and quick/fast.

Not saying it can't happen, but I've personally not seen it.

I think plummer was the first person to decry 1st cross whippet/collies, as they 'didn't have the height or frame' to support that sort of breeding, pretty obvious years later, what he was up to, as he did all he could to support and further his mate hancock's puppy farming venture.
