WHIPPET X MANCHESTER TERRIER

[Gerry48 10]

Hi all,when i was a young lad some 50 years ago, my uncle had a Whippet x Manchester Terrier bitch, she was a really good all round dog, she would mark holes she would bolt the rabbits out of the bushes in to the nets, she worked very well with the ferrets,and she caught a fair few her self, and she also was a nice colour, tan and black, more tan than black, dose anybody still use this cross or has anybody had one in the past, i would like your opinions, only to use for rabbits and possibly rats.

Are they the ones that look like a mini dobermann? Lol.

 

I've heard they are awesome ratters but don't know if there are many about.
