what would you pick full whippet or bedy whippet

[berrysean 0]

ive been looking at getting another dog just wondering what people think im torn between a full whippet or a bedy/whippet?

What you gonna use it for?

Personally, I'd go for the beddy/whippet, due to the fact that with a loss of a wee bit of speed from the straight whippet, you gain a dog with a far superior nose, intelligence to train, a thick skin (great if you go near barbed-wire) and a good weather-proof coat, much better feet than the straight whippet and a bit of terrier grit to boot. What more could you ask for?

Beter still get a beddy x whippet/grey or a beddy x grey,still not big dogs[guessing you want a small one]my lads bitch is just shy of 22" tts[beddy/grey x whippet]

If i had to choose between a whippet or beddy x whip,i would go for the x,but would prefer some grey in the mix,not just for size,they tend to be a bit more obediant/tractable.

No offence to the beddy x whippet intended,but they can be very stubborn imo.

I would also say beddy x whippet just for the coat and feet, my whippet is very obedient and has a good nose but she does suffer in the cold especially if its raining

if your just into rabbit then a whippet is a good dog as you can put it in the kc show rings but if its just for general working a beddy cross as you can still get rabbit allong with hare fox badger do not start this into a row ppl lol
