Hi Mickey,

I used to work Beddy X Whippets, Beddy x Greys and now have a Whippet Pup all these are excellent ferreting dogs,for beddy crosses try the The Working bedlington Forum and for Whippets the Working Whippet Forum, decent bunch of Lads on these forums and should be able to point you in the right direction, if you go for these crosses.

doing a bit bit of reading on working whippets and the name mike brown seems to be thrown around alot has anyone of you seen one work or use one of these dogs now?

right lads i've been thinking of getting a running dog that will mostly be worked alongside ferrets and the odd run on its own i have a lot of questions like should it be in a pen, in the house or does it matter? what training is needed? would it clash with me having a family dog and a working dog(i already have a family dog)? whats the best lines for me?

could any one shed a bit of light on this or point me to a couple of good books

Thanks Micky

My mate as a Mike Brown whippet he's still quite young at the moment but what I've seen so far his is a good worker,he hunts up,marks and is very respectful of nets.The one thing that limits him where I hunt is his speed its very rough uneven ground with a lot of obstacles to negotiate which imo isn't suited to speed merchants.I work a collie x and she's perfect for the ground I work,one thing I'll stand by is if its just rabbits your after then a good collie x will seldom be bettered.

thanks mate think i will be looking into a cross still unsure though il have to work out whats best for me, just a quick question about whippets skin being week does this mean if it chases a rabbit into a load of brambles its going to hurt itself?

Not really mate though they're not known for having tough skin thats why its best to get the dog that suits your type of ground.Cuts on whippets seem to be exaggerated due to there skin being so tight,a little like lycra I'd describe it.

They can get hurt very easy and not the best off coats but if you going for a whippet go with a cross beddy x whippet something that is going give it good coat and feet for cold winter mornings .
