whippets and whippet X's

[mally 832]

what are all your opinions on bull whippet lurchers ? can the addition of a small amount of bull improve the dogs ability to work , more robust , stamina , thicker skin, or does it simply make the dog to heavy and detract from the whippets speed and agility ?

 

I've never had a problem with my whippets skin on the land i work them on mate, whippets tend to just bounce off fences and with them being quite light injury's seem few and far between. I wouldn't have a dog with any bull in them in my kennels, but it's horses for courses etc.

The breeding has a massive input to how a strong a whippet will be.

Thanks jamie, that's much appreciated You'd be welcome to use the little b*****d. He's a good dog, if you can accept that when it comes to hunting, he does / goes, what and where he thinks is best. Most of the time. . . . the little fecker is right Maybe after a fw more years, he will have learnt how to 'relax'?

 

I'd say, that a lot of the strong dogs (obviously not all) have blood that comes from Mike Browns kennels.

Aye mate he's a good dog, and he's got a nose like a beagle, prime example that some sight hounds still have got a good hover tracker on them lol. I like the more head strong dogs they seem to suit me, plus I'm a strong believer when the going gets tough they don't seem to quit. I think it would be a handy tool off him over Missy.

Iv a half x bull whippet but mines for more than just rabbits but if it was for just rabbits would go for the 3/4 x.
