Ideation 8,216 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Course they fecking can. The largest fox on record is something like 12 kilo. My whippet weighs just over 17 kilo. They both got teeth. So if the whippet has the bottle it'll kill it dead as dead can be. Which makes you realise a fecking 35 kilo plus b/x should do the job with stupid ease. 2 Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 If a terrier can go down 5 6 ft and take 1 or 2 on in a dead end then there is no reason that a good size whippet cant take one above ground.IMO Quote Link to post
Striker11 13 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 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! Quote Link to post

madhare hunter 23 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 think i will go for grey+collie +whippet should make a good allrounder. thanks for your comments. Quote Link to post

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'. 3 Quote Link to post

But also not all foxes are monsters, so it evens out. Quote Link to post

Plenty of folk, including plenty of folk on here have killed foxes with whippets and not one offs. 2 Quote Link to post
