Hands of Stone 154 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I take both gun and lurcher, but as a lot of my permission has foot paths it pays to try and look like i'm following the law..... Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 In my limited experience with terrier/whippets they are hit and miss keen and agile but then basically a terrier that can be 3 fields away in a blink of an eye mine was very willful re roaming miles off and bad recall and you wouldnt want to eat the rabs she caught! I reckon it's got a lot to do with the terrier blood used? And the whippet I suppose. I've seen plenty of both with a stubborn side and won't do a thing they are told. This terrier I've got here is really biddable and obedient, never goes too far. That type of terrier crossed with a decent working whippet could make handy types I reckon. 1 Quote Link to post

A lot of hassle having a litter I reckon. Would be a shame not to breed her to a decent Plummer and put some decent Plummer pups on the ground, there's a lot of crap ones out there and I think the decent ones need their genes passing onto future generations. I don't really need or want another dog yet. Got 3 under 3 years old here so we will have to see. Quote Link to post

Its often feck all to do with the breeding,the stewardship any dog encounters is the biggest factor in how the mutt works,or is allowed to. Quote Link to post

There's a few on here who've got a dog what's a pain in the arse, stubborn, headstrong etc, yet all their mutts before were not a problem. How would you explain that if its not the breeding?
