LaddyLurcher 261 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 I came across a man walking a lovely little lurcher this morning while walking my two in the local woods the dog in question had a big bell hanging round it's neck when I enquired about the dog the man told me it was a border terrier x whippet three years old and he had fitted the bell to its collar because it was always killing squirrels and rabbits and being just a pet the man didn't want it killing anything. Like I said it was a lovely little dog and it was obviously very handy with a natural hunting instinct but not a cross I've seen before, has any one on here had any experience with the border x whippet? I would certainly own that dog if I had the chance.. Quote Link to post

kps1979 1,308 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 I could do with her wearing a anchor around her neck to stop her doing a runner! She's settling down a bit now thankfully, 1 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 That looks a proper handy little mutt KPS. Fancy a little whirrier myself in a few years for mooching. Quote Link to post

She's settling down a bit now thankfully,i would love to own a little dog like this for daytime work it would be a cracking little bushing dog but does it ever show any interest in going to ground?

shepp 2,285 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I had one years ago and I found she was too slow in the open and was a bit unwilling to tackle the tight bramble cover we have round here. I think mostly Bedlington crosses come out as a lurcher in their own right due to the bedlington having decent pace to start with. 1 Quote Link to post
