Absolutely Davy. My wee whippet just had his 1st season and the pleasure we both got was magic. Ok...they are limited but for fast and furious action they're superb. Give me that to 3 min saluki shite any day

3 min? ....em dvd's a have seen....ye would need tae buy a fcukin box set tae see eh full chase....

....and a flask and packet of fags

Each to their own the main issue I have with whippets is there owners to be honest

I asked you earlier to explain why you think whips were pointless, now it's the owners not the dog, mate your a star.

lampalurcher.i had a nice fawn greyhound bitch useless on the track didnt want to know .used to slip her on chinese water deer preban .caught them up easily never had one escape .with x track greyhounds you have to pick the ground to run them on .never run them on hard winter ground never ever run them in small fields or near barbed wire ,i had one called kate and she could manage three courses when very fit .bred three litters out of a big white bitch called patch produced some great lurcher pups.with x track greyhounds the main thing to do is have the presence of mind not to let them off in risky situations.made the mistake with the fawn bitch of letting my mate walk her in the frost .i said to him do not slip her on anything.he lacked foresight and control up jumped a hare back she came with a broken toe i was gutted great deer killing bitch ruined

kittlerox.my friend has two whippets a 10 month old dog and a four month old bitch .he takes them out twice a day and has caught a couple of rabitts with the dog pup .he only lamps a couple of rabitts then comes home he is slowly building up there stamina and teaching them about barbed wire hedges etc .he has them both retreiveing.by throwing a ball in the garden in torch light so they get used to retreiveing in the dark.these two pups when trained will give him a lot of good sport .my brother had a whippet years ago and he never hit any wire or other objects he had very good stamina and tho he was only 21 inches tall he used to course the hares with our bigger dogs and never ever blew up he had the heart of a lion.whippets as you know if brought up carefully will make a nice addition to any kenell and provide some great sport.im thinking of getting two in myself one for me and one for my 12 year old daughter as her first dog

Just don't see the hype about whippets all the ones I've seen failed to impress me yet their owners all seem to think the sun shines out there whippetey little holes

If the owners are happy,how does that affect you?.What do you run?

nearly as bad as you slagging the whippet cross

A lot of people have an opinion on dogs they have never seen run. Pure greyhounds can make good dogs I seen one on daytime hares and he done the job. If bred and conditioned right they can kill good numbers. As for whippets I wouldn't own one why limit yourself. And every person I know who has had a whippet has always gone back to getting a crossbred .....
