321charlie 5 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 i would say there mussel would be to small to take a good hard fox bite on a regular basis anyway. Quote Link to post
stanley 5 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 just wondered as i have the chance to buy one and am looking to replace a pup i just lost Quote Link to post
ferreter.al 22 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 get the odd ones that can do job (apparently) but night after night? im not convinced,there might be 1 or 2 lads that have seen the odd one but i doubt it mate,better with something that is more suited.colliex or bullx or whatever.atvb Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 seen it but was messy i like a dog to have some weight about it when taking fox, a lot of whippets lack the build in my view Quote Link to post
nicky25 47 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 a lad my cousin knows had a bitch that would do them for fun it was a hard dog Quote Link to post
NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I wouldn't use a whippet as a dog for regular fox work something a bit bigger would be more suited. No doubt that there might be the odd few about that are capable but these are probably an exception to the norm. Quote Link to post
fieldsman 51 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I had one a few years back but he was a bit of a freak 23 1/2 tts the only one in the litter this size kept him because no one believed he was a ped . His face was a bit mashed by the time he was 5yrs I dare'nt take him out in day light .He did enjoy it though. Quote Link to post
dave a 24 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 are whippets any good for regularly working fox? not in my experience.i dont lamp rabbits at all mainly foxes and i couldn't imagine any whippet taking foxes single handed night after night. Quote Link to post

stroller 341 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 whippets can do fox but why f**k about with a little dog that cant take the punishment of persistant fox hunting. buy a pitbull or a gun. what the f**k are you doing asking questions about banned game on a public forum??
