wuyang 513 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 My whippet was good at striking sitters or nailing a rabbit near the edge of some brambles, but i thought he tended to chase rather than put in a quick strike. Whereas my border/beardie collie greyhound although not as fast off the mark was better at striking. I really like whippets and often fancy another, mine was a pedigree whippet, he was fantastically keen, but not out and out bred for working, although he took to it real well. I sometimes wonder how much better a racing or mike brown whippet would be at striking than he was. But i still think i would opt for a little lurcher with collie in it. Quote Link to post
