chartpolski 25,062 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'd hazzard a guess that anyone who says "Whippet X Greys are useless"; has no, or very limited, experience of them !! Cheers. Quote Link to post

kanigra 110 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I had one yrs ago, Full of early pace realy decet strike and would try its hand at anything, But it did knock up toe's often, skin like tissue paper, no wind but back then i used to hammer them beside the car on hares and rabbits and it used to get burned after a dozen runs or so and never had minute in the tank in the day on hare, But now knowing what i know its down to the bigger land that i work here in Northamptonshire they could be doing with a slash of Sal at the least, But if your after 10 rabbits+ a night they'll do you well and in good style, Mine used to put rabbits in the bag just down too pure speed alone, Like i say if you have the right ground they'll be mustered, Atleast try it and see you might be happy with it..... Fair point.I had a couple years back now,good dogs but alot of draw backs most mentioned above.I have 1 now with atouch of bull in it,she's a great little bitch but i only use her for ferreting as i think there better suited to ferreting than lamping.Not saying they can't lamp just think there better suited to the ferreting game.Horses for courses.
