Ribblevalley85 2 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hiya chaps was wondering which would be best n easiest to dog to train I'm new to the lurcher seen to be onist with you, had dogs all my life but labs n spaniels what have been a stroke in the park, also had couple of little of Jr's to what have been and turned out to be cracking ratting dogs Last summer got bored off the lab spaniel scene n came onto the lurcher seen, I went out n bought my self a little pup Whippet/beddy x Grey/saluki, he has just turned one now n coming on great but he is one stubborn swine and can't act a bit numb at times, but he is a very keen dog when iv got him out n about and already had 3 ears, But been looking for another pup to go with him, I few folk have told me to go for a 1st class beddy whippet but my head is telling a full whippet That might be cause my dad use to run the whippets, Iv been offered a jeff Hutchinson 1st class beddy/whippet, does anyone have any of his dogs and if so what have they turned out to be like And also which would people say is easiest to train n best to have????

General lee 979 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Depends what you want it to do but I prefer a beddy whippet they got a better coat and abit more fire and I like the look of them but that's just my opinion the whippet boys will soon put me right haha 1 Quote Link to post
