Opinions On Which Way To Go?

You need to find a guy that is breeding 2 lurchers that are around 21 inches tall and that do what you want to do. Surely you can find somebody within an hour or 2 drive that has what you are lookin for.

Only thing that let's a good whippet down is its skin .. my sister has a blue brindle bitch before the ban and when my bitch was lame I used to take the whippet and she would fly outta terrano window tie a hare up in knots and retrieve back to the car and as for rabbits she was mustard

Paulus fair point but it's not really how I like to hunt, keeping a dog on the slip. The whole enjoyment is seeing a dog mooch about an work as a team. DAn I agree I could probably find 2 lurchers of around that size, although their doesn't seem to be that many, finding 2 that work is a little harder as I say no rush but would be nice to get one in this summer atb

Well good luck. I think you will find somebody that does what you do.

Guy in the pub is probably right but no harm in asking cheers

I have to agree johnny, i think in truth it's probably my old man getting in my head that I would be better with something bigger less whippet etc probably so he can nick it when old enough, he already borrows the terrier when I am working. I will be living with it though so going to stick to my guns I think and be on the look out for a 3/4 whippet type leith touch of something else to improve coat, if anyone knows a planned litter give me a pm cheers dog will get a good home for life no matter what and plenty of opportunity to shine atb.

i am guilty of this, always say i will keep one on the slip but never do, lost count of the amount of game that i have watched run off across an open field whilst 2 or 3 dogs are still chasing a scent down the hedgerow

I've had 2 beddy whippet x beddy whippet greyhound that were 21tts that were decent enough for what your wanting the two wouldn't stand back from anything quick of the mark and go a decent distance good luck with your choice
