small dogs big quarry preban of course


Recommended Posts

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! :thumbs: atb

two brothers they are beddy whippet x beddy whipp greyhound atb heres my we beddy whippet 19tts

from personal experience. I think the only big quarry the small dogs can handle well is either the sick, injured, elderly or very young animals. One of the whippets a mate has will handle bigger stuff

22.5"

What do you THINK he can or CANT handle :whistling:

 

he is a full laguna whippet/ not a CROSS :thumbs:

 

21" no fear most of all has never BACKED down :toast:

 

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