Whippet x Greyhound

[leegreen 2,141]

I am looking at the moment for a running dog, a general purpose running dog but mainly rabbits. I have thought about many crosses but mainly terrier crosses and collie crosses but more recently because I now know of a very good Whippet/Greyhound breeder I thought this could be an option but and its a big but can these dogs turn and also there are a lot of small fields with trees and orchards so hows their brakes and hows their brains can any one advise. Cheers Lee

personally i wouldnt bother with them for just hunting,they havnt a great deal of stamina and there a fast x breed and when they over shoot they over shoot,collie x bedlington x would be more of a general purpose dog are a good lurcher to lurcher x,good luck mark

From past experince, a lot can be accident prone.!

I only ever had 1 that was a demon, never seen a dog like him since.

Saying that, their is good whippet x greys about, i prefer the reverse, 3/4 whippet, 1/4 grey. A search on here, will have some info for you.

I have one and she is extremely fast. She slides on the turns but it deadly fast. There are very few rabbits that can escape her and on a straight run she will catch a hare. She is prone to injury. She is laid up at the moment with a sliced stopper and cuts from wire. She is not the smartest hunter. She is more of a kill or die in the process sort of dog. And will run at obstacles.

The little knowledge I have about them tells me this, that is why I have asked for more information, thank you.

what ever you decide

[leegreen 2,141]

Do these dogs have turning capability or are they just to fast. Do dogs learn how to turn or is it a natural trate or a bit of both.

even though they slide on the turns their speed makes up for it on the straight run. They are good for small fields.
