leethedog 3,071 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Bryan I woulf of thought they would be worse than a whippit and worse than a terrier so whats the point of mixing em?they make a very handy little lurcher I've seen one a bloke from medway has one its.a demon on reddit like it more than the traditional beddy whippet Quote Link to post
fairy10 12 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Would a half x be to much terrier u think? Quote Link to post
leethedog 3,071 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Depends on what side the pups take to 5/8 3/8 is what I'd go.for Quote Link to post
fairy10 12 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Would u go for a whippet dam or patterdale dam or dose it not matter? Quote Link to post
Hareydave 1,214 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Ahh just read the guys post its Staff x Whippet, but I still like it, thought it was out of a wheeler patt. 1st x staff x whippet. I thought that head was a bit big, I still think a good staff or bull cross whippet makes a decent knock about dog, OK slow, but a handy enough dog for knocking about the farm. the ones I seen wernt slow Quote Link to post
fairy10 12 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 What would they good for rabbits n rats? Quote Link to post
leethedog 3,071 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Would u go for a whippet dam or patterdale dam or dose it not matter?shouldn't mater either used as dam shouldn't have a problem birthing the pups as long As if patt is sire it head aint one of those massive bull headed ones needless to say both need to be workers Edited February 6, 2015 by leethedog 1 Quote Link to post
fairy10 12 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Would imagine they might be half decent I would prefer a racy one as the others wouldnt be good for much really what u think? Quote Link to post
leethedog 3,071 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Nice and nippy and hopefully better skin qnd coat than.a whippet but if you just want a small allout runner for bushing to a whippet 1 Quote Link to post
fairy10 12 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think a leggy plummer or russell to a small grew would be a decent ferreting/mooching dog ? Quote Link to post
Tozer 385 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Good point, there have been a couple of terrier whippets bread recently, and there is usually a litter floating about on the for sale sites. It is just pot luck though unless you know the breeding Quote Link to post
Guest foxpack Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Mate bred sum spaniel x lurchers mistake line.gave pups away.1 is suppose to be a legend at marshes finding rabbits .marks to ground.and works a long side his hawk..he is gona Line it with a beddyx whippet to fetch size down a bit.think the bitch stands at 23 inches Quote Link to post
krawnden 1,036 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think a patt x whippet would make a really useful bushing/ferreting/ratting dog. My three quarter terrier, quarter whippet, who has a bit of patterdale in her, is very quick for her size and is great for ferreting hedgerows. She works in the middle of the hedge and often puts enough pressure on bolters that they leave the safety of the hedge where the lurcher has a chance at them. And she's only quarter whippet - a half cross ought to be faster still (though possibly disadvantaged in tight spaces by being a bit taller?) Quote Link to post
