On here mate, whippets are no good for anything, they get slated for beign to skinny an soft, they hate cold nights and shiver to much and can't take any other quarry than rabbit.. But if you own a Bull X they can take everything and retrieve everything live to hand, people need to start thinking with there heads, rather than telling lies about there marvellous bull x's. ATB with the whips matey, I'm a fan of the breed. HD

Ive got a wee Whippet pup mate.

 

I never used to read the lurcher section because every 10th post was 'show us yer bull x's'

 

People have different dogs for different reasons be it for the quarry they take or the amount of space they have to house it. A whippet was the perfect choice for me, quarry is rabbits when ferreting and it stays in the house so had to be small-ish.

 

If it ain't a bull x it ain't worth having...........

Does my head in about the bull x topics, cracking wee dog's whippets, have a whippet x myself ( middle dog in my avatar) and love working with him.

Thanks for your replies lads in years past I"ve run saluki crosses and collie crosses, the saluki crosses where run mainly on long ears on the fens,cambridge etc but I did also lamp them and found them pretty decent all round whatever there reputation, my collie crosses were generally used all round and covered most of what I wanted to do and where even handy round a dig BUT the little whippets suit me now and have plenty of fire in their bellies also I find that you tend to be welcomed in places where you most certainly wouldn"t if you turned up with a lurcher.

The knockers don"t worry me it keeps the messers out of the whippet scene as most don"t believe the capabilities of these little dogs.
