Ideation 8,216 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Probably not as good at running as the whippet and not as good at working cover as the spaniel 2 Quote Link to post

Will-i-am 33 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 HI there I own the whippet x span in question u are right its not the fastes thing when rabbits or game is going home but it can fill a freezer. And it can fill it in style it is 4 yr old I bred it for my self for bushing it,s the best think I ever owned it never goes lame never put it on leader it hunt,s like a spaniel but faster will jump any thing it come 2 not bothered a bout teeth and there is no tale wagging Quote Link to post

forest 137 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I seen Williams dog on a good few times on one and I must say its one of the best rabbiting dogs I've seen the only thing it lacks is another gear in the speed department but it it kills plenty in cover to make up for that if I was wanting a dog purely to work the moor this cross would do the job 10 times over Quote Link to post

I know gnipper had a Brittany x sure was shapeing up alright...? would be interesteds to see a brittany x work had a pure brittany and had all the balls nose brains and stanima you could wish for, put a bit more speed into this and would make a great potfiller! litte headstrong was trhe only downfall and the bitch i had was a little needy and jealous over other dogs! would love to see this x work tho!

She was shaping up ok work wise but unfortunately she was a destructive deranged dirty b*****d and I couldn't take any more of her behaviour. The people who own her now are happy with her though???

brad88 133 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 my mate got a sproker x whippet its the size of a italian greyhound but with long spaniel ears. Not a bad dog working bush pretty fast, good for ferreting Quote Link to post

The people who own her now are happy with her though??? sounds just like the brittany I had! if things wernt what she wanted chew something, make some noise or shit on it! when she was working fantastic but at the time couldnt work her all day everyday! do they work it or is a pet? as I reckon the brittany would have made a great pet if it was a pet but as a worker it had to be a full time dog!
