Ideation 8,216 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 ive had patts that could kill foxes to ground , so there no disbelief in a whippet having ago but huntings not a wresling match in out kill the game and move on , ive stuck to that method of hunting no contest , cant beassed with all this whippet takes foxes so does lots of small patts lakies but , its not something, that i would go on about hunting game you use a dog thta suits the game , not a contest or a death struggle thats not whats poaching hunting is about in my eyes , Not sure if anyone gives a f**k about what you think whin? But you keep on telling us all anyway 'it's not something i would go on about' - why the hell not, you go on and on and on about every other fecking thing The gospel according to the reverand Whin. 3 Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Pointless going into this time and time again. There's those with the theory and those that have actually seen whippet sized dogs do the job on a regular basis.. Not ideal dogs for the job especially on a regular basis, far from it even, but then there are always exceptions to a rule.. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 no gospel as im not religoius but saw enough to say what i see , get adog for the job and stop pretending T The thing is mate, who fecking claimed they were the best dogs for fox? What was said was that YES, it is POSSIBLE to kill foxes with a whippet. That was all. But you just cant help but wade in and tell folk how they are doing it wrong, and how much better you would do it. It's the same with EVERYTHING. You can't help yourself but slate everyone else. 2 Quote Link to post

It's just the way it goes. Quote Link to post

It's just the way it goes. That's the same with any dog is'nt it? Even my ex had a shittly Toy Poodle that just wanted to roll in fox shit and chase deer and foxes when off the lead. Hmm maybe I should submit an article into Countrymans Weekly? Yes mate i suppose it is. I was just making the point to whin, that despite the fact that i fully agree that a whippet is a poor choice of dog for hunting fox, if one gets up out of cover, there isnt much you can do to stop the dog pulling it, these things happen. And i would be disappointed in the dog if it didnt manage it. Quote Link to post
bunnybasher69 56 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 My mate has a whip/bed/grey that has taken to the whippet looks wise that can take a fox without any problems. If a dog uses it's brains and aims right it can do the job. Saying that he doesn't go out of his way to look for a fox. Quote Link to post
