Bull x Whippets

[Ideation 8,216]

Not read it all, but just to throw this in the mix. If you are breeding a half x, how many working greyhounds are out there? In comparison to the number of cracking working whips? I think that is often an important factor, get a whippet with a good nose, high prey drive and the right physical attributes (and as big as you can find) and put it to a well tested bull, and although some will throw heavy, you will get a few, really racy, heart like a lion, but now with a bit of bulk to back that heart up. Look a bit less obvious as well. Quick as f**k off the mark, decent around holes, good for hunting up cover etc.

the half bul 1/4 whippet 1/4 grey we had was brilliant lamp dog and would hunt through any cover and everything it produced seem to like the cover aswell.we introduced the whippet bull into our bull lurcher mix and the offspring to them have been exceptional over the years.we need the fast off the mark dogs that can also store an extra gear for when needed..

 

Aye, for a sight hound, the working whippets you get now, have excellent noses on them, also on the kind of land we hunt, there is usually not far for foxy to go before it hits cover, so fast reflexes and take off speed is a must.

when a bull and whippet is crossed,i assume they are hoping for thicker skin,slightly tougher mentality.

my pup follows the terries into cover already its hilarious, brilliant tho if she does actually follow rabbits into cover especially on the fields i could be running

Thats a good sign lad, keen to get in and have a look, eventually she will learn (hopefully) to tune in to the terriers, if they start to yap, she will learn where to position herself for the bolt.

 

What i was saying about initial pace, is that most of the quarry (whatever) type, we see bolting from cover in the day time, is NOT running out into a big open field to get run down, it's darting out, through trees, across some rough ground, round boulders, and then is usually swallowed up, so a dog that can get up on something in the first 10-20 yards is handy.

 

You are welcome to bring her down here at anytime and do a bit of daytime mooching, ferreting or lamping.

Patrick thats a very nice pup you got there, we'll have an hour or so out tomorrow if ya can? I'm watching the combine now, on the field next to yours.

Seen some crackin bull whippets over the years, not my dog though, i'd always prefer a little more size but get a good 'un and they'll tackle anthing. You'll have some fun with yours.

[Ideation 8,216]

Looks like you got a good mentor lad! Well done Bosun.

Technically a lurcher but looks more like an athletic Staffy .

One of the gamest dogs I've ever had the pleasure to own
