Guest joball Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Whippets do take fox but i wouldnt call them fox dogs like. Quote Link to post
jasher 55 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) I've known/seen whippet take fox single handed but I'm going back probably 15 years and from memory that dog was 18-19" it took them single handed regularly. Obviously a bullX or similar stamped dog is going to be more capable of doing bigger numbers on a regular basis/draw etc. But the original question was can whippets take fox single handed and my answer to that is yes the right ones can.

fieldsman 51 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Weight isn't everything, I seen plenty o fat b******s got beaten up with skinny lads. Your example gives a 5kg difference - let's think about it the fox lives in the wild chasing, sleeping in toughest conditions. Most whippets either in warm kennels or in house and spoon fed by owners each day. 5kg's is f**k all! Right, first we're talking dogs not people so an example using a totally different species is a wee bit pointless, there are plenty of small things that can kill big things, i accept that. In this case though we're talking a dog and fox, which when it comes to being two different species they are actually in build and 'weaponry' etc are actually fairly evenly matched. Now the question was not, could a spoon fed, house whippet who is pampered by and old lady, kill a fox? It was could a whippet kill one? Now i'd say probably not to the example you use, the same with a molly coddled poof of a 32 inch deerhound. However what i'm saying is, a working whippet with the fire to take one on and not give in, has the size, weight and capacity to kill one without 'too much' fuss. Now obviously it wouldnt be my first choice of foxing dog, but that also was not the question. So aye i stick with what i say, it can definatly be done without banging the dog up 'too much'. another classic And another joker who thinks that if they have not personally done it it's not possible. Plenty of folk, including plenty of folk on here have killed foxes with whippets and not one offs. I have killed fox with Whippets.A few years ago I owned a show bred Whippet,was given to me as he was,nt show standered he was a big dog for a Whippet but he took fox with ease.He did get hurt a few times when he was younger but the more he killed the less damage he took he very rarely missed his mark takeing almost every one by the neck and killing quickly .I also owned a Whippet bitch that was keen on them although in truth she was to small to be tackling them on a regular basis,it was more of a fight than a kill but she never backed down.I have owned a few Whippets in the last 30 years and can say many of them will take on a fox with little encouragment. My opinion for what its worth is a Whippet dog can take fox and some can do it well but there are dogs that are better suited and with less risk to the dog I would,nt if I had the option use a bitch to take them as they dont have the body mass to make it a quick clean kill and are more likely to be injured .If I had to choose a dog to kill fox my personal choice would be a Deerhound x Whippet.For some reason and Im probably genaralizing bull x owners slag other dogsI personaly dont like bull x if you are a fair dog person you can instill enough confidance in almost any lurcher without the need for bull blood .I like the look of some Bull xs but they are not my cup of tea, not all but many get a bull x because of their image and as a status symbol many of these people get one as a first dog and think they are the be end all because they have little or no real experience of other dog breeds or have owned bad examples of other breeds they are usually the same people belittling other breeds and have to have bull blooded dogs because they are not capable of instilling confidance in dogs without it.If you have taken offence to this then its probably you.Not all bull x owners are of this ilk but sadly many are.Just because you havent seen a Whippet take a certain quarry does,nt mean they can,t or just because your Whippet can,t do some thing does,nt mean others can,t all dog are differant if they were all the same choosing one would be easy End of my rant have a good day . 1 Quote Link to post
