stainlee 27 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have a halfx , and a 3/4 x , the 1/2 x isn,t fast enough for much except the odd rabbit , but a lot of fun mouching and very very keen . The 3/4 is a different kettle of fish and has the speed ,stamina ,nose and determination for the quarry I hunt. Quote Link to post

Doesn't take up as much space, your missus is more likely to have it in the house, looks a bit more subtle to the cops, some folk just like the bull blood attitude and gameness. However having said that, if you get the right whippet it can be plenty game enough etc. Quote Link to post
stainlee 27 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 my thinking was simple ,I like the cross . Quote Link to post
