mooney1 120 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Dangerous for any dog jumping barbed wire pal they will all rip my old saluki greyhound could jump anything, never caught himself on barbs, but it does have its pros and cons, if your permission or land has a lot of chained fences it's handy but it doesn't take 10 seconds to lift a dog over a fence what do you do run alongside the dog as its on quarry then give it a quick heave ho over the fence for it to carry onhahaa thinking the same Quote Link to post

bryanm45 787 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Bitches usually taller, but saying that some of mike browns stuff is very tall, too tall really it's getting away from everything that's good about a whippet, you might aswell look for a small Grey bitch, a small whippet bitch 18" will have prey drive through the roof and be as good on rats as terriers and the best on Bunnys, mine don't do jumping you could teach them but when it goes wrong it's a trip to the vets, better to just lift them over or lift bottom of fence and teach them too go under, 6 Quote Link to post

hargreavesheber 93 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I've got a whippet x beddy collie grey. But looks just like a whippet st 18.5tts. She's 4 now and I've got to say she's a cracker. Plenty of speed, can jump a gate and fence no bother but usually tries to get under if possible. Good little day and ferreting dog but in all honesty not too good on the lamp, as much as I've tried. She's very much a one man dog and will gladly stand staring at me for hours which can become annoying. She's had rabbits, and various creatures. Had 1 red thing, and she doesn't half get stuck in. And definitely no reverse gear. As far as injuries go, her face and chest have scars on her but most of them are due to rats and tree rats. Never had a big skin rip as yet. Would recommend.

slip lead 862 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just get him out at first light somewhere that holds rabbits, the more open the better for a green dog. Quote Link to post
budgie123 163 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 How do you lads with pure whippets get on when its realy cold and wet. how do they cope when quiet spells in these conditions when ferreting. Some fantastic looking dogs. Quote Link to post

Some fantastic looking dogs. Not had a pure whippet for a fair few years now, and considering the fact that I aint getting any younger, when it's really cold and wet, even with lurchers, I'll be doing something more sensible Quote Link to post
