tag 29 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 theres been loads of threads on whippets lately , and i was wondering what is classed as a good bag when rabbiting with a pure bred , a genuine question dont want to start a slagging match , but was just curious are they that much better than a than a purpose bred small lurcher , theres thread after thread of bull xs that dont make the grade etc, but how many whippets dont make the grade , afterall there just as popular and cost more ..............

Guest joball Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I can can take anywhere from 15 to 20 a night but they aint easy bunnys, my little bitch smashes through cover for them to and catches a few like that. But tbh all depends on the owner seen plenty of people turn good potential into crap dogs, i have seen more bad than good. Prefere the stronger lines myself.

Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Not exactly a pedigree as there was an eigth G/H in him but 21" TTS Best night 27 rabbits and two hares. Would average twenty rabbits a night without sweating. Having said that there were rabbits about then, I would be hard pushed to get that amount in a year these days. Photo is a scan of one taken in 1983 he was 5 then. TC Quote Link to post
