bull/whippet Vs bull/greyhound


Recommended Posts

This has had me thinking for a while now. What are advantages of having a bull/whippet over a bull/geyhound as a terrier man's dog. Drawing work and covering the bolters. Seen a very gd bull/whippet work when digging mostly drawing work, but cant see the advantages of having 1 over a bull/greyhound.

I do not want this to turn into a slaging match between the two breed fanciers i just want to find out the pros and cons of both types of lurchers as terriers mans dogs. Or if its the other way the advantages of the bull/whippet over a bull/greyhound?

I look forward to hearing some honest opinions!

ATB boys and girls good hunting to you all. :thumbs:

i dont have any bull breeds as they just aren't my cup of tea, but i would assume that bullxgrey would have more lung and be able to cover a greater distance, much the same as other greyhound crosse's, BUT as i have said i dont have bull crosses so i could be a mile out and if i am i'll keep me mouth shut!

Lovely looking bitch there! :thumbs: speed wise would you say a bull whippet would hold an advantage over a bull greyhound over say the first 50 odd yards?

i reckon the bull whippet would be faster from the start of the night but comein to the end i reckon it would tire out n the bull grey take over most whippet crosses are fast at the start of the night but graduly start slowing down atb Top Lamper

bull whippet 50-75 yards then bull grey all the way! :thumbs:
