SAFalconer 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 What are Greyhound x Whippets like as hunting dogs? What can you catch with them? And what are like around the house? 1 Quote Link to post
Stud dog 632 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Depends on the individual dog and training you put in they are all different bud I've got one and it's as calm as you could get I will say if you keep them stimulated body an mind you can't really go wrong with a greyhound whippet All the best 1 Quote Link to post
