i like whipps thats why am readin thread but when you see em in the ads laguna this n oakbark that etc coursin bred should make 22 i get a little confused to how when at coursing events under whippet club rules they were capt at 20 inch and measured t the quater ha well great LITTLE dogs anyway good huntin

That's right there was a height limit for coursing , but MB's dogs were for work, I've seen modern MB dogs and they are very big, probably too big to be a whippet, now starting to breed a separate line of big whippets, did anyone ever see sooty Sam work, was he that good or was it just clever marketing.

 

i worked his daugter if he was anything like her then he would have been a good dog

What would be the difference between a working whippet and one of his dogs apart from about 3 inches in height.

after she passed i fetched another one from another well known line and he was the worst dog in the field you could ever imagine, he could run and chase a bag but was useless in all other respects when it came to being in the field

its not just the height it's the build so much stronger than most whippets you can tell a mb whippet straight away when you see one and the work in these dogs is awesome they give everything they have every run

You get good and bad whippets in all lines, some have it some dont, was he a good Laguna dog, now there's good and bad Lagunas.

If I wanted a bigger whippet I would cross it with something to compliment the whippets acceleration, speed and prey drive, but I won't a small quick rabbiting dog, as that's all they are at the end of the day.

They are more robust and certainly quick enough to catch a rabbit still

Don't read me wrong, I love whippets and have two of my own, But the direction they are going is wrong, just to big, whippets are small game dogs, rats and rabbits, you will get people say they take other stuff and TBH they probably do, but right tool for the right job, bigger whippets are moving away from what they are bred for small fast agile rabbit dogs.
