jrt x whippet bitch cross whippet sire

[pigeonman 8]

my jrt x whippet bitch mated with a whippet, my bitch is a fairly small size, not much bigger than a large jrt and the whippet ( a friends dog) is an average size, has anyone had any experience with crossing a smaller bitch with a larger dog? has anyone had any problems doing so???

Shouldnt be any problems at all mate,whippet pups and terrier pups are pretty similar in size and your bitch is half whippet anyway.

Should make useful dogs,seen some good whippet x terriers.

you can train any dog not to yap mate but uve got a point, my jrt x whippet is very excitable when out with over dogs n the ferrets but calms down after a while but the whippet i crossed her with is spot on n very calm and patient so the pups bein 1/4 terrier n 3/4 whippet should be a lot calmer. before breeding i did consider buyin a beddy whippet due to their size and my lack of space for a 'well bred lurcher' but instead i decided to see if i could get a pup or two from my bitch as hopefully they'll be a good size for what i need.

 

i know a lot of the travellers round my way cross whippets with jrt's which is where i reckon my bitch has come from (shes a rescued dog) but ive never read anything about or spoken to anyone about working them, has anyone else had experience with terrier cross whippets??????

That is actualy a strong looking little bitch i was quite suprised be intersting to see what the pups turn out like later in life

[kevin kiely 66]

if the russell was rough haired some of the pups might turn out the same,id say theyd be nice

[littlefish 588]

She looks very racy. The way you described her I was expecting her to be small and stocky. I reckon you have some pocket rockets on the way

Nothing wrong with yapping if you're planning to work cover with them! I think it's the way to go round here, lamping's almost gone to f**k with 90% of the rabbits lamp shy, & ferreting's not to hot either. Thick cover all year round and no rabbits to ground unless breeding.

I didnt mean as "mini lurchers" although 3/4 whippets should be capable of catching rabbits fair and square,ive seen at least 3 whippet x terriers that were very good dogs,marking,bushing,catching bolters,sounds like your mates dog hasnt been trained very well for ferreting?

They do tend to yap a bit but the 3 ive seen werent that bad at all,i know blokes that use straight terriers for bushing you can hear them half a mile away? each to their own.

i rescued the bitch about a year ago, at first she was going mad to get at the ferrets but once shed been out a few times she quitened down, plus if have one from a pup they woulda been round the ferrets long enough until the dog can be worked anyway.

 

shes pretty quick and has kept up with a few full whippets on harder ground, shes got the added bonus of bein able to get into parts of the bush where the larger dogs cant, shes gone to ground a few times when chasin but i try not to let her because shes pretty much part of the family now lol dont want her gettin stuck or becoming charlies lunch!
