small dogs big quarry preban of course

[bribri988 141]

some of the best dogs i've owned or seen have been 'small', imo it's fairer to go by weight rather than height as a 22" stocky type can have more substance than a tall rangy 26". the smaller ( under 30lb's) types often have a wee bit extra oomph that the bigger more laid back types lack. pre ban i've had non ped whippets take roe and fox, and for my money it's a bigger deal for a dog to take quarry sometimes double their weight (ie 20 odd lb whippet taking a decent roe) than it is for a bigger more substantial type to simply overpower it's prey. having said all that my preference is for a 24 to 26" 40 to 50lb ish type as an all rounder maybe because the smaller types are using up much more of their resources to get a job done but come retirement (or 6 numbers on saturday) my wee bobbery pack will definately have a small non ped based lurcher or two.

good man you seem to know what your talking about and i agree, only size and weight goes a long way but at the end of the day its about the dog and if its keen and clever enough to carry out the job! atb

What do you THINK he can or CANT handle

 

he is a full laguna whippet/ not a CROSS

 

21" no fear most of all has never BACKED down

 

looks like there's more bull in that dog than the amount of bull that follows the name 'laguna'
