mally 832 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 just got rid of a saluki whippet bitch 21" at 7 months old fast as fook and catching rabbits but to timid and if she missed she wouldnt come back till she ruined the night give me a pure whippet anyday Do you not think it was a bit young to give up on ? Cheers. not if you have'nt got a clue what you doin, i'd say it's just the right age.hopefully it's gone to someone who will give it the time & training it deserves Totally agree with you lads, anyone who's running a dog at 7 months is a total muppet, the dog will be knackered by the times its 3. They are niether physically or mentally matrue at that age, no wonder you had problems with it and got rid!!. Folk like you shouldn't be allowed to have a dog and give genuine dog men a bad name. My mates just dropped off soem old countrymans weeklys for me to read and theres an article in there from a so called expert in working whippets encouraging people to start them working young!! and then people wonder why the internet sites and admags are full of 7-12 month old whippets and lurchers for sale 'totally unspoilt!!!' yeh right!!!. I've seen a couple of first x whippet x saluki (whippet dog over a saluki bitch) I wouldn't advise the other way around as a friend lost a very good whippet bitch during whelping breeding the other way. They were very useful dogs, getting up to the rabbits etc very quickly and both had a good mouth. Quote Link to post
