Ideation 8,216 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yes mate 'too much' as in disagreeing with the earlier comments such as 'have your vet on speed dial', obviously they are going to take a bit of grief, and more so as a smaller dog with little jacket, but i wouldnt be expecting to rush it down the vets, just give it a clean up and maybe a jab. I didn't say they were a push over, just the fact that physically they are capable. Any animal fighting for it's life is no push over. You seem to think i'm claiming that there are folk going around using whippets for fox dogs, trying to take multiple in a night etc. ALL I SAID WAS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE RIGHT WHIPPET TO KILL A FOX WITHOUT GETTING BANGED UP TOO BAD, i.e NOT NEEDING A VET. I bet you could make pretty much any dog jack if you tried hard enough. Quote Link to post

iworkwhippets 12,628 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 ive never seen a whippet with enough heart to take a fox on its own never mind capebilty ive seen some good bull whippet and greyhound whippets tho eh, theres 3 here with big hearts Quote Link to post
stevemac 441 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 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'. good old jai the voice of reason :D i hear what your saying mate but im sorry im not having it a fox fighting for his life wont give up easily and i dont think there is any whippets out there to see the job through to the end single handed mate, they just aint bred for that kind of work Sorry pal but Im here to tell you that when my 21" whippet is clamped on the throat of a fox no natter what size it is it isnt going anywhere. and is soon dead. yes he has the scares to prove it. I have a pack I hunt but as he is the main finder he oftern goes one out with a fox. Quote Link to post
