The Bull Whippet.

[Moorside 642]

Alright lads,

 

Ive read a few threads on here about Bull x Whippets, there seems to be a mix of opinions on the cross. And some threads are quite old, like any type some people seem to rate em and others dont. Id be very interested to hear from anyone whos currently working one or has worked them in the past. PM me if you prefer, all the best. Moorside

heart of a lion but lack in other areas, very game little dogs, 3/4 is far better than the half cross as a general mooching dog.

or 1 with a bit of greyhound in the mix . but like above heart of a lion and fearless

I no a lad who's got very lucky with a half x..22 tts.strong. racey.a one of for a first x I think.. A stunning animal .

If the bloods good I would think pace is the only drawback. Not all whippets are as fast as they look even off the mark or sprint distance. I would still love one though if bred well because both breeds are great dogs in there own right.

I know they will have there limits, but I can imagine they are very useful as a knock about type. The extra toughness skin/bone is something that would be a major plus.

You thinking of adding one to your team moorside?

Surely a collie whippet or beddy whippet would be more suitable for nocking stuff up in the day.....unless planing on retrievin shot fox...saying that a half x bull whip could throw realy small and bully and lack pace enought to catch much day time

 

Not saying a decent beddy whippet or collie whippet couldn't retrieve a shot fox ..( befor all the beddy and Collie lovers open fire on me ) lol

Not really thinking of buying one in to be honest. Ive got a beddy whip x here that really does all the bushing work for me and my mates when were out mooching. Its more for a possible breeding possibility in a year or 2 over my bitch. Literally the only thing she lacks is a bit more skin toughness, her size around 20" mark is very handy and her nose is good. Im just interested in this x as an option in the future.

Wouldn't you put half cross beddy back over her of you are happy with the beddy work ethic? Make 3/8 beddy 5/8 whip?

The bull adds a lot more to the table what folk think a bull would have to offer...

Good working whippets are perfectly capable why would you need to add bull blood?
