Rake aboot 4,935 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 23" my arse, 22 3/4 " mibbe nae bull ! Aye,, I wouldn`t have a pure whippet, certainly not as a pet come occasional worker. Try explaining to the missus why you broke the dog AGAIN. If you want a working dog, get one, but make it clear to the family it`s a working dog, so when it goes tits up they understand why. They are too fragile unless they are a big fuckoff whippet from working stock. 1 Quote Link to post
bird 9,868 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 i like whippets, had none ped bitch great little dog, good on rabbits day+night. seen some none ped males at the tracks when iused to go 30lb dogs very full on little dogs. suppose its what you want to pay for a dog like these types, a dog like these or ped whippets prob 2-300 £quid, small lurcher prob 1/2 that price.plus they handle the cold better, whippets can go out side but really got keep them warm outside. ive always liked whippet with drop of bull in its mix, just to toughen them up a bit.! 1 Quote Link to post

Problem is from the little I've seen it toughens them up a bit,but makes them a lot more driven and energetic. My old bull/whippet was a nutter,and not robust enough physically to make up for it,constantly tearing himself open,running into avoidable obstacles etc He broke his leg aged about 3 and became very neurotic through not being able to work so was rehomed as a pet to a mate who had the time to spend with him.

alan81 110 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I had a little blue whippet/hound bitch a few years back pet/worker 22" tts good feet good speed and wind for a small dog. you wouldn't know she was in the house but bring her to the field and she would go all night. a whippet/hound is a good x imo.

Rake aboot 4,935 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 My two are mental The collie x is a fekin loon, goes bananas when he sees me. The Beddy Whippet is just as daft, sits on yer heed if he gets the chance Dogs are dogs mate, they do there thing regardless of breed. Just as I have said before though, if you want to work the dog, even occasionally, it`s a working dog, and the family need to know this. 3 Quote Link to post
