roughneck 0 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have a 3/4 collie whippet dog 4 years old 20 tts, very good lamp dog. My dad has a 4 year old ped whippet bitch 18tts and he's asked me to line it with mine and we would both be keeping a pup. The problem i've got is that his whippet is not a working dog and the pups would be a bit on the small side. What are your opinions on this? Quote Link to post

The dog also seen bigger quarry and made easy work when paired up with a bigger dog.

stroller 341 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 brilliant rabbit dog go for it. whippets are speed machines wether it works or not. a lot of working dogs are what they are because of nurture not nature. i could teach a pekingnese to mark sets given it young enough Quote Link to post
