whippets on hares pre ban


Recommended Posts


whippets can take hares fox deer fact :thumbs:

well I saw a dog fox, the other day, he looked like a kelpie,x greyhound, he was in supreme condition, and I kid you not about my description of him

I keep my dog well clear of foxes, why pick up silly injuries to your dog, for nothing, A an average whippet against that fellow, there was only one clear winner, and the thin skinned fragile fellow would have certainly come off second best without a doubt, for all the dreamers, out there, a proper dog fox will stand his ground and win against most whippets, ((( there is exceptions to the rule, I am talking about single handed, not doubled up, and as for deer, a good kick, from a roe, or a fallow would see your famous whippets run back to the handler, summer madness has set in once again, get out on the field and prove your statements instead, off printing complete rubbish

Non-Ped Whippets can take hares regularly; but that's probably due to the high percentage of Greyhound blood in them. The old Racing Whippets back in the 60's & 70's could take hare, fox and deer, but thats probably because they were smooth coated Lurchers "of Whippet like appearance"; which was the only criterea that most clubs asked for ! Pure bred, KC Whippets today may take the odd hare, but not with any consistency. Even at Whippet Coursing Club meetings, very few hares were cought , and a lot of the "courses" could more properly be described as "chases" ! Don't get me wrong, I love Whippets, and have seen some good ones working.... butt they aren't "hare dogs".

 

Cheers.
