What Would Be Better?


Recommended Posts


beddy/ whippet id say mate. a few mates have got em and theyre mustard on rabbits. real tough for their size and what they lack in size, they dont half make up for it in heart. only thing to wotch id say is yapping but only seems to happen when theyre run in pairs alot cos they get a bit frustrated i think. and as the above have alredy said hardier on the cold nights out and just physically tougher, especially skin wise as pure whippets pick up tears and cuts easily. ive heard of pure beddys finding some success lamping rabbits so you wont be sacrificing lots of speed especially in the cross you sound like your looking at. plus they look the part! cheers

Beddy whippets great but nout much different from a normal whippet apart from the coat. Pure whippets are easy to train and under esimated in terms of hardiness. They can just sometimes have skin that can easily tear, but so do most lurchers. But if your working through thick cover beddy best, lamping go for a pure whippet, thats just my opinion

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Hi to all, so I've never owned a whippet before and have encountered an irritating habit that got worse in the last month of ferreting and was wondering if anyone out there has had success minimising noise during ferreting?
      So he runs prey silently, almost never barks at home so I was very happy going into his first winter, but.... when the ferret slot machine is not paying out fast enough for his liking he yips at the holes he senses are near the underground action. On top of that, if he runs a bolted rabbit to ground again he persistently barks at the hole while constantly looking at me as if to say "get them ferrets over here mate, I've got one for you"
      I've a very experienced collie lurcher who is a dream to ferret with but the whippet seems to make no reference to the good stuff he does. Any ideas on managing this?

      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,
      oshea
