poacher3161 1,766 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I would breed them if i was you and would not be worried about the age of the bitch with her being a pure whippet as one that proves itself catching rabbits at that age usually carries on doing so.I wouldent take notice of anybody advising not to breed them if its wat you want to do at least your honest about the situation wich makes a change some times on here. 1 Quote Link to post

You are so right mate probably best to wait till I don't want a pup and there arnt so many litters about then ill get more from them without it being convenient then I won't have as much time to put into them and that should make it a cracking litter. Thanks for the comment mate you really opened my eyes. Can't believe I hadn't thought of that. Jonny might have a look around for a sire thats not all that good either and go tho whole hog and breed a full litter of messed up shite. What was I thinkin doin it while its convenient..... no bother mate, i read it as if you were getting her neutered to stop your pup knocking the kennel down when she comes into season in december, so therefor taking a litter of her before you do so( not because you want to but because you have to), sorry mate if i picked you up wrong atb with the litter.

My whippet bitch is due in season any day and I'm thinkin about lining her with an old dog of mine that I retired two years ago. She is 19 tts and very racey massive prey drive easy trained and had over 300 rabbits this season her first full one, he is 21 tts and a strong dog sooty Sam laguna lines and not afraid to tackle anything, I have always kept bitches but will be keeping dogs from here on. I want a pup out of her for myself before I have her spayed then there are no Problems keeping her with the other dogs. Would none be interested in a pup would be ready around middle of august? Just asking so please serious comments only. Good luck mate if you breed but whippets at the moment seem popular amongst the peddlars. theres loads of shite been bred at the moment out of dogs that are lacking in ability.. Quote Link to post

Cheers mate, was always goin to breed her at some point but the arrival of new pup and him being a dog made it have to be sooner rather than later. Yis jonny. Quote Link to post

Mine is certainly less 'frail' sometimes than some sal x's. And i run him on some land that would break many dogs to pieces. Quote Link to post

And she can have plenty of rest as I will just be gettin my Collie x started early in the season so she can start when she's ready and well rested. Quote Link to post

Nice bitch that mate, very similar stamp to mine nice and racey, always up for it. cheers mate, she s the same up for owt but i just run her on the bunnies . ive had similar problems with her come into season in december just when she was getting going so thinking of getting her spey soon cos nowt worse than having a dog you cant run bang in middle of season. and fair play to you on that price if i was looking for another dog id be very interested atb sesku Quote Link to post
