well lads im new to all this was thinkin of getting a whippet or a lurcher for ferreting just wondering do ye have any advise on what would be best or any there practly the same

i run a kelpie x grew she has brains, good feet and is as game as a banty cock, i would always go for a collie type x for ferreting you need a dog with a brain but saying that i do like pure grews they are flying machines

When you say Grew, is that greyhound x whippet?

GREWS IS A SCOTTISH WORD FOR GREYHOUNDS AND ARE SHXXE FOR FERRETING AND COVER CRASHING.THATS MY 2BOBS WORTH BUT.ATB.

Thats right mate if you have good ground and dont work them every day the grew takes some beating as a catch dog. i work dogs as a hobby im not out every day so i need less from my dogs than some people who do pest control etc.

 

i suppose the choice is made on what you need from the dog

 

what type of ground is it you hunt little fields probably work more in the whippets favour

 

do you have permission or are you a poacher which will work against whippets as they can be yappy

 

do you need a dog to work cover then maybe a gundog x or terrier xwould suit

 

can you live with a sensitive type of dog if you can a collie x will do

 

do you want a speed machine then a pure bred or longdog x will do

 

if you want a dog to run all day something with saluki will do

 

you get the idea

You haven't said if this is your first dog to have owned.

 

Do as much research before buying any dog.

 

Do you have the time, money and room to keep it etc.....
