I think it's plain to see they ain't going to be getting the massive bags that's possible with some lurchers types,,, but they can rattle off enough rabbits for most lads,,, and they can drop a few ot

myths mate i have seen a few run and have lasted alot longer than that if you condition a dog and keep it fit you will have pleanty of runs with that x there is alot of armchair hunters out there feed

pre ban if you were wanting a fast furious up and at them daytime dog it would be hard to beat this x imo, exciting dogs on the lamp as well

Are we talking about first cross whippet greyhounds or dogs that are called non ped raceing whippets as imho their can be a mile of difference between the two from wat i have seen.

 

whats the best for hunting then more so lamping .? i had 20in none ped whippet bitch great little dog, had few in the lamp as well with her.!

What about out ferreting in cold weather I had a whippet he just stud shivering wanting to go home. ?

how do you know he wanted to go home, maybe he was wanting to go to the pub or maybe the pictures, a meal in a nice restuarant perhaps ? just for a change like :hmm:

 

Probably the pub, for a pint of stout and a game of dominoes perhaps, pretty sharp these whippets, got to be on your toes to beat em :thumbs:

I had a Whippet, was out one really cold day, at times it was coming down sleet, and were waiting for bolters, and yes he was shivering, but when he had a bolt he came to life, and caught a few.

yes :yes: if its got the heart for it,,some dont

And that goes for any type, from the couple that I owned and others that I've seen, guts was the one thing they were never found wanting

 

 

 

yes true happens in all breeds....another thing preban some whip/greys aint that big,,and when matched way squeaker which is pretty much there size,,it can be a bit o a fight ,plus that can sometimes lay them up for a few weeks when sometimes the owners of the smaller types over match them ,,,which is no good if ur trying to clear rabbits for a farmer...

I had a blue whippet/hound bitch 22" tts a few years back she was a great little dog lamping rabbits. the most I got with her was 17 when only half fit and that's a lot for around here. she would hit the ditch hard and even caught rabbits after I turned the lamp off [ her party trick ] she caught 2 hares as well in small fields. I had another black whippet/hound bitch 21" tts also very good on rabbits but what shocked me with her was she could take a fox quicker than most bullxs! true.
