Ryan Howlett Thomas 4 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 iam thinking of what to get for my next dog. i have alot of permission on moorland, and abit on low ground so iam looking for something that's not going to damage its feet to much on the terrain. and that its skin isnt like paper. but i would preferable like something that is small and very nippy that can run anything. would be happy if any 1 could help me. cheers Quote Link to post
jezza 126 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 A bull/whippet sounds like it would suit you or a bedlington/whippet/greyhound, both sound ideal to me mate, good luck in your choice Quote Link to post
