huntingalltheway 2 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Depending on their size the beddy/whippet is a very limited dog their ok for rabbiting .atb dell ive seen my self two 19" first x bed/whips catch much more than just a rabbit. one died doing what he loved and the other still runs like fxxk now even with age. also good day dog goes to ground aswell which is mad. real good allrounder i think just depends on the owner they have the ability as long as the owner can bring them on properly and do the dog justice. which is the same with all dogs atb jamie Quote Link to post
