Source a good whippet from working lines... just my opinion, or better yet go on google & do some research about different breeds for different work, land & game mate. ATB Quote Link to post

robwelsh 354 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I wouldnt get a whippet to put miles in. Loose condition easy. Running dogs don't need miles put into them, but I suppose depends how far you call miles lol 1 Quote Link to post

whippet 99 2,613 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I wouldnt get a whippet to put miles in. Loose condition easy. Running dogs don't need miles put into them, but I suppose depends how far you call miles lol i would have to differ there ,..........whippets can go miles with ease and if you feed them the right grub , there condition shouldnt be to bad ................but there weight does go up and down very easy ,...............plenty of fatty grub like lamb and tripe should make them run all day imo Quote Link to post
poacher28 120 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 a good lurcher should run miles no matter what cross it is, wether it during daylight hrs bside a pedal bike or at night lamping, so i think it would be down to you to pick what type you like most and try get the best out of the dog , thats all you can do good luck finding what your after mate Quote Link to post
