whippet x grey

[sean925 2]

Just a question not planning on breeding at the min but as the season is drawing to an end i start to dream again.LOL.i have a whippet bitch only 16 months , 19.5" and 28lbs.This season came on well out ferreting retrieving all rabbits live to hand also a couple on the lamp.Next season i will class as her first hopefully.I have read alot on this site about whippet greys.Is it posible to cover a whippet with a greyhound or should the breeding be done in reverse as the pups maybe too big for the whippet.Again i am not planning a breeding as dog hasnt had enough seasons yet to prove herself.This is purely niave and curiosty

a whippet can be covered by a grey, a lad on here had an accidental mating, his 25 inch saluki greyhound dog tied with his 15 inch jck russell bitch and she whelped ok

i think its better 2 use a whippet over grey ,could be wrong

I covered a 19" 24lb kc bitch with a 3/4 whip 1/4 grey and she struggled had to have the vet pull a pup the size of a 3 week old whippet pup out her if it hadnt been a greyhound vet he would have had to section her she had 5 and 1 survived all the others were an averege size barr the 1. Dont know if it was just that mating but i personaly would do the x the other way round in future to prevent problems.

 

Agree with tom why not just breed pure ? .
