beddy whippet

[josh! 0]

Hi, I have been looking for a stud for my whippet bitch for a wile and have come across this 3/4 Belington X ¼ patterdale dog that i am told is a head case and despite its size gets to ground. im not sure if its going to be light enough build if I put it over my ¼ grey ¾ whippet bitch, 1st cross? She’s extremely fast and good on rabbits but constantly hurts herself due to her light build and ends up limping, hence why I thought it mite be a good cross?

She’s only 20†so do you think putting that stud over her will make a to heavy and small dog for the bunnies? I don’t have any experience of breeding this cross, so don’t want to waste time and risk not being able to find working homes.

Unles you really want a pup from your bitch would it not be easier to buy in a pup from the breeding you like? And if you did want to breed her i think putting a beddy/whippet over your whippet would be a better option because id say otherwise youd end up with small heavy dogs? But at the end of the day its up to you

nice dogs mate i think they would do for rabbits and the odd fox

but what a dog for a greyhound now they would be handy

1/4 greyhound 3/4 whippet first cross?

 

 

yeh i worded that a bit wrong what i ment is first cross meaning the beddy over the whippet without going back over a whippet.
