rabbit slayer 22 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 My mate knows of a whippet that takes fox single handed, its just over 21 1/2 inches. He asures me its pure whippet and i think he said it had sooty sam in its making. There's a few show whippets that live near me and are so small and boney, they look pathetic. And look like they would struggle with rats. Quote Link to post
Leon 0 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 They will take them, I used to own an animal that loved the job but I found once he progressed from rabbits to fox he would really hammer bunnies afterwards. Quote Link to post

They can take them, but a whippetxgrey with that bit extra weight does it that bit easier mad-mouse Quote Link to post

Guest POT FILLER Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 ITS HARD ENOUGH GETTING A DECENT LURCHER COMMITED TO THE JOB ,NEVER MINED A WHIPPET Quote Link to post
Bona 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Yes they can ive seen it, though this dog didnt have the normal whippet temperment it was nasty as hell, the dog did take a bit of a smashing, it isnt all about the make up of the dog althought it obviosly helps, its about how clever the dog is and the heart of the dog i would have said:thumbs: Quote Link to post

keg 1 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 saw two good whippets that take fox at moorgreen show monday Quote Link to post
Guest JDF Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 i have owned a pruebred and a high% whippetx that would take them with gusto but it tends to be a bit of a drawn out affair and they tend to look a little ragged after a few in succession,better off with something a bit more substantial for both dog and quarrys sake.
