pipa 299 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 should make good rabbitting, ferreting, bushing dogs! think they call them worriers? i was going to get 1 of these, but the lad who bred them,bred them wrong way round, he put a whipp dog to a very small J.R bitch? resulting in the pups being about 4" high, and 3ft long? looked a bit like that dog on TOY STORY with the spring in the middle, what a clown! anyway sounds like your mate got a good 1! chris Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I've got one and he does everything i need him to, lamps, bushes, ferrets and tough as old boots. I highly recommend them. Unfortunately hes laid up at the moment after nearly losing an eye to a blackthorn, he seems to be getting there though and hes got all summer to recover. Quote Link to post

He would never have made the grade as a coursing dog before the ban but he has more than enough speed for rabbits and stuff Edited March 20, 2010 by Tyla Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 what size is he he looks a nice type Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 what size is he he looks a nice type Only 21" tts but a real power house, i dont mean heavily built just very strong for a small dog and full of fire. He came from up your way, an accidental mating from a guy on here. If he keeps going the way he is for another couple of seasons i might well use him across my bitsa bitch. Quote Link to post
