Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm sure theirs plenty of whippets doing more than rabbit and hares, but I still wouldn't get one and expect it to be consistent doing anything bigger, basically j don't think it's fair on the dog. Having said that, whippets got plenty of guts lol 1 Quote Link to post
