troter58 1,711 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 tbh in my opinion i prefer to have a little more than just a pure bred just due to past experience i found a collie grey caught alot more and wasnt much slower at all and thats not just on one occasion thats over a few different dogs. they seem to have a little more brains as well, also found beddy whippet is a fantastic dog to have if your into ferreting as well but the choice is yours just my opinion and past experence. atb What was up with your pure whippets? bad feet no wind run in to fences hedges do not like the cold skin like paper but apart from that............................... it shit in the house 1 Quote Link to post

si7790 5 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I just didnt know if u stick to a certian amount of food to keep it right or feed it in rabbit as its a lean meat i just want to get it right that is why i am asking Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just a bit of banter mate. Theres no solid rules to feeding the dog, you will work it out depending on how much exercise the dogs getting. If the dogs looking heavy, cut it down....or if it looks a bit light....feed it a little more. I think ive peronally got the right balance now....exercise generally stays the same. You will find your own way Quote Link to post
