hunt and fish 35 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I am not that long into the game, have always went out with mates for a long time lamping and ferreting with there lurchers. Recently just bought a we bull whippit cracker we dog. Started her of catching bolted rabbits while ferreting and done well, hes caught a few on the lamp to just getting used to the lamp now. He is just turned 13 months. Everyone i go out with keep lurchers none of them have whippits but i decided to start with a whippit as they are cracker for rabbits..whats your opinions on using them for foxes? Hes a game we dog.

steve123 29 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Bump. hi i had a frst cross about 23tts (15 years ago )he did his job well , he only had rabbits in his first season but at approximately 2 years old he was switched to charlie and did the job well, he lacked a little in speed but made up for it in bravery and determination. he worked well with my 3/4 greyhound whippet who had all the speed, reasonable stamina but little else.

NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Mate of mine had a full whippet that would do fox any time it had the chance. Took some stick from them because of its size but never came off it until it finished it. So can't see what harm a bit of bull is going to do. Maybe make it more gamer and pack a bit more power probably. Quote Link to post
