KittleRox 2,147 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 i prefer collie greyhound bred for all round work,however iwould like to try some whippet in the mix,the main thing is to put loads of time in training your pup whateever the mix and the dog will repay you. good luck Quote Link to post

pinguu 169 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 i have a collie whippet and she is great on rabbits squirrel rat and even moggy, she is only 19 inch tts so a little pocket rocket, i suppose though it depends on the quarry your wanting to what dog to get. Quote Link to post
