barryt128 4 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 im looking for a all rounder for a first dog although mostly lamping id prefer a smaller whippet sized dog or bitch imin fife but i can travel thanks Quote Link to post
trinder 127 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Not trying to be smart but whippet size imo wont be an allrounder , to me an allrounder will take all quarry on a regular basiss a whippet size dog would be in sick bay too much if tried to run fox regular , id suggest a bull/grey x collie/grey as an allrounder as it can handle anything if entered correctly or sub the bull for wheaton if you dont fancy a bull x Quote Link to post

trinder 127 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 So a whippet x or whippet size dog can take the same amount of stick as say a beddy/grey or a collie/grey x bull/grey on a regular basiss? Im not bringing smaller dogs down as its mostly the heart in the dog not the size but i cant see a 21tts collie whippet grey for example taking 3 fox a night 3 nights a week without having to spend time in sick bay , id also expect an allrounder to be able to catch daytime har3e or roe but thats just my view on the matter everyone different Quote Link to post

You pay your travel costs up and have the puppy for free , I'm only breeding her to get my own pup so any surplus pups will be giving away 1 Quote Link to post
