Iv worked 2 whippets n ma dads always had 1 along with the lurchers. I have a blue dog at the moment. We use them for ferreting ratting lamping coursing rabbits and a few long ears (pre ban) il put the pick up later . I think it really depends on what you want to use it for

If its just rabbits you will be going for a whippet will be fine, but personally i would go for a whippet cross around the same height (20" tts)next time as mine has been very slow to mature and they have thin skin

on rabbits they are good. biggest problem i've found and been told of in pure whippet is the feet, bit of a weak point pick up lots of little injuries. and they effected by bad weather. might be worth looking for one with some terrier mixed in, tougher feet and coat. just my opinion, best of luck with whatever you go for. and happy birthday in a month!!

i have always had pure whippets and there smashing little dogs which iv seen takeing most quarry just make sure yu do your research fist and get a good hardy strain and you will avoide most of the problems that people say but they are effected by the cold.
