Ideation 8,216 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Tomo - Don't think johnnyboy would let me Think he's afraid folk will think he's gay if he has a whippet x Jamie - My thoughts are that using a good sized whippet over a decent sized collie / grey, wouldnt lose too much in terms of height, and also i know that all of the ingrediants on the whippet side of things would be working stock. Also i don't need a dog much over 23 ". I suppose i'm also looking at what i could add to my whippet rather than to a collie x. If that makes sense? Owen, will Pm now mate. 2 Quote Link to post

Aye makes perfect sense mate. I think if you want sonething very similar to finn adding collie would be silly as I personally see collie will add alot of influence to how it will work if that makes any sense. It's like adding a 1/4 of Steven hawkings brain to your own. You might be better with something more like 3/8's collie with Finn over that IMO reduce the collie influence for me I want a collie x like what I've got but slightly lighter on it's feet so I would achieve that with Finn over mine lol Altho we both know percentages mean jack lol Surely there's more of this breeding out there Be nice for few more pics and descriptions of work style/ethic 1 Quote Link to post

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Not exactly the breeding your on about, but this ones kelpie x grey x whipp/grey,,,, 22" very quick thinking and fast of the mark,, don't think you could go wrong with what your planning for the bunny bashing game. You thinking of him across bron if she proves herself in a few years?? Jai's whippet over Bron would throw a nice pup I think but I'm of the thinking with Bron "if" I bred her it would most likely be to a dog of the same type. Finn is a great little worker and as all the things you'd be looking for in a whippet and a bit more imo, the brreding that Jai is looking for would be spot on for the way he hunts his dogs.

poacher3161 1,766 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 The type of whippet ive found can make a world of difference to the types of lurchers i have seen and owned over the years and my own opinion ideations whippet is the right type to breed to. Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Johnny - if only Gem was younger, it'd be fecking great to see what came out of that pairing. Be some powerful dogs. Del - Cheers mate, he certainly isn't a typical shivery little whippet. Quote Link to post
