I know someone who had a whippet drop in on a fox a few years back,it needed to be dug and wasn't leaving old charlie be..

My mate used to have a first cross bull whippet and it was the gamest lurcher ive seen. It used to go to ground regular and pull them out. One day I seen it chase a bolted fox from one earth and drop into another on the foxes brush and re-emerge an hour later having been at it all the time. He was a handy dog if you couldnt be arsed to net a big place up.

Over the years I've dug a few times to lurchers. A couple of times they were bloody close to their quarry and a couple of times they were stuck but one time we took our eye of a bitch of mine, Blue (Bedlington cross X greyhound) and as we broke in on the terrier Blues head came up behind it.

Known a couple a whippets try and drop in and a cooker that got upto it's fox in an old land drain lol some them whippets have exceptional prey drive, seen a couple refuse to let fox go on lamp aswell years ago lol

ive had a couple of whippet crosses that ive had to dig out. ive never had a cooker to ground but i had a washing machine in a dump.

There is a man on here that once dug to his terrier baying at a young lamb

nothing to do with a whippet but still unusual

once dug my old lurcher dog out of a stone pile up with his foe

I once had a dog that marked an earth in a sheep field so i let him go and he reappeared 5 minutes later pulling a live lamb out. It was wedged in tight so we reckoned a fox had pulled it in.

most Xs with terrier in the mix, will try to get to ground, like springer terrier X bedlington greyhound X cocker patt and so on..... if there wired right there whole DNA set up will be to find and flush...ive seen many try and get to there quarry and annoyance to me is the owner thinking this is great when it should be after a shout its out and terrier in., but seen very few actually dug with quarry and to me can be a hinderence if there 4ft up the burrow and you cant get tailing them, and they wont come back.... seen quite a few times landing at a 15 eyer... during all that commotion the fox has already popped out and been away.

I don't think in this instance it was even put for the hunt mate the old girl was in her sixties and it was on her own land
