I have seen a genuine 1st x take rabbit hare and fox single handed(struggled though, but very game), very nimble dog, and as for people saying the 3/4 x being much faster I would have to see it to believe it.

Entered to young then there's a good chance of it yapping. Very loyal, Jump anything, Surprisingly clever run outside the beam when lamping.

Im no expert but this is what I have seen from one said dog.

a 3/4 x would be faster

a pure even faster

Brothers got a first x only 14 mnths but coming on well, definately not as quick as my 3/4 whip bed, but catches on the lamp, really good nose and will hit any cover. Works more like a terrier in the day, in that she'll follow my jack into any cover where as the 3/4 tends to run the out side waiting for a bolt,

On the lamp her recall has been pretty good, and retrieve has been good, she's a heavier dog than the 3/4 and not as nimble but is probably a bit more driven, she wont stop thats for sure. She was bred bedlington sire whippet dam, both working dogs

 

First x on the left 3/4 on the right.

No, im saying that the 1st x that my uncle had was like a rocket, so i cant see the 3/4 making that much difference?

Surely they all slightly vary? even the 1st x some must take more to the whippet and some the beddy....does it make a difference on what way round the sire and dam are?

[jf1970 328]

No, Im saying that the 1x dog i have seen is rapid!!! and plenty fast enough.

so you havn't seen any 3/4 working then? not having a go mate, but you say that a 1stx is fast enough, but that doesn't mean it's faster.

[bunnys 1,228]

one goes saying three quarter bred s quicker ,has neither are what one may term fast ,its not a certain fact that all three quarters will be quicker than half crosses .lots of of different types ped coursing types ped racing types and of course has some call them none ped types , either way some are line bred and these may even and aere usually quicker than either both half or three quarter . .The quality of the stock however bred has major influences to the quickness of type fellas . Choose wisely and dont let the purity of blood influence in choice.atb bunnys.
