i keep a couple of whippets their great out ferreting but when your out on a good frosty morning and not much is happening they can get a bit restless so when it's realy cold i like to use the beddy/whippet crosses

a lot mate

You better choose something else, especially if you lamp. Not many Whippets can pull of a night of good runs, but if you only want a couple of dozen runs Whippet are the nuts.

For the record i f*****g love my whippet. BUT, the word BEST should be obliterated from any conversation about running dogs. It's just plain dumb. There is no one best breed or x for lamping fox, for ferreting, for hunting bunnies, as a terriermans dog, as a mooching dog, to tackle deer etc. Best just don't mean shit.
