Whippet or lurcher?

[paulus 26]

See this is my point, why have a whippet when a lurcher does the same and more?

because they come in blue

 

But they are £600

last one i had cost me £50 and a pint of guiness

 

I used to think highly of you. And now I learn you gave up a pint of guiness, gods liquid, for a blue whippet?!?

 

Shame on you.

the right whippet from the right breeding is a cracking little hunting dog but i like a dog around the 25 to 26 tts mark so it would be lurcher everytime for me . i did have a pedigree whippet a big one has it happens when i was in my early teens .the thing with it is i like my dogs to be able to run what ever comes in front of them .pre ban of course .

i remember someone trying to argue with me about whippet V lurcher as an all round dog ...

i kindly fecked him off , especialy when he started bragging about what his dog could do ..

there's no way anyone with half a brain cell would say what he was saying and expect to be believed

[paulus 26]

to be fair, that little blue bitch was mustard around nets and picking up bolters she never gave a false mark once, she was the only dog ive owned that would crown a layed up ferret, she had the heart of a lion but her body didnt match it. i still have a soft spot for whippets and fair play to the lads that run them.

I'm in the same camp as boyo on this one. Still fancy a wee whippet. Thing that puts me off is trying to get one with the right breeding with paying stupid money. By that I mean over £150 lol

Baw , you fooking philistine ,get yourself a whippet ,enjoy the poetry and beauty a decent whippet will bring to your life , stand back in amazment while the little warrior does his thing efficiently , but with style and grace , enjoy your evenings by the fireside with a loyal , non demanding friend , watch a whippet in full flight , determined , but flowing like running water , elegant as a ballet dancer , and tell me you,v seen a finer sight in the field .

My 3/4 whip 1/4 beddy, is without doubt limited due to her size, she turns her hand to all aspects of rabbiting but in my eyes that what she is a rabbiting dog, you would be foolish in my eyes to think a 19" light weight dog could carry out the same sort of work as a 25" purpose bred lurcher..... But around the ferrets or on the lamp she always puts a few in the bag....... It sounds to me Baw that your first love requires a bigger dog....

the brindle in my avater does feel the cold now but never did until 8, no jacket at all but game enough for my wee bit of mooching, id say lurcher with a jacket.

Lurcher all day for me especially collie based ones, I go out with a cracking whippet on a regular basis, he's a cracking dog BUT I'm a lurcher man. Whippets always give me the feeling that its going to get broke.

Stan the man, that's what excites me right there, the speed. I love watching a fast animal over a slow one and they do look quick. But, I've had my fair share of speed bomb lurchers too. You give a good case for the whippet Stan and I'm starting to realize its maybe a required taste lol. Here my little cow pat lover, did you write that article and where can I see it

[baw 4,360]

Aye newkid, something about 27tts is my kind of dog lol
