OR has anyone any pups????? Hi fella, i have a beddy/whippet 1st cross. He's 19'' ats, quite fast, full of determination, i use him for ferreting, but theres a downside to him, he would prefer to eat the rabbits that he catches before trying to bring them back So i have to get to him quick before he does this, which is ok because theres 2 of us and another dog. Maybe my fault cause he wasn't taught to retrieve when a pup. But he has a great temperament. Quote Link to post

collie/grey 238 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 IMO, dogs and bitches are no different work wise, bitches are just a pain when they come into season. I got him from liverpool and the bloke was a complete money grabber, didn't care about the pups. I bought him, cause i felt sorry for him. Pups were in a stable, fed on big hoop shaped dry dog food, couldn't even lap up water, i just gave him the money and went, he tried selling me the sire aswell. He's a great little dog though. The pups he's sired are cracking workers. Beddy/wip/greys are very much the same, they just have more speed and make an ideal average sized lurcher, they make between 22-25'' ats. Quote Link to post
