jetro 5,349 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Would it be possible or worth while making a whippet section like the lurcher and terriers one. Atb j. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaaark 10,777 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 With the popularity of whippets and more people working them these days, I think it would be worthwhile having a section just for whippets. I think there'd be a lot less negative comments then when people put up posts/pics etc about their dogs working. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I like it.......greyhounds, hounds and lurchers have their own sections. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 It would be nice to have a whippet section for people to share their experiences with whippets. Atb j 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaaark 10,777 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 It would be nice to have a whippet section for people to share their experiences with whippets. Atb j Definitely, and a lot less aggro from many 'blinkered' lurcher enthusiasts. Don't get me wrong, I know that in many cases lurchers would be a more suitable type. But there are plenty of occasions where a whippet does the same job, but does it quicker, with more excitement and style, and in many cases with more enthusiasm. I love the little feckers lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,867 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Brilliant idea...in a kind of "I can't believe there isn't one already" way. When you consider that, although there are probably a greater number of lurchers with greyhound as oppossed to whippet blood, there are probably a greater number of hunting whippets than hunting greyhounds and yet we have a greyhound subsection...surely it makes sense to have one for whippets. Having said that...you could say the same for salukis, deerhounds etc...I'll get my coat! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 There seems to be a lot of people wanting a whippet section. Hopefully it will happen. I personally think it would be a advantage to the running dog section. Plenty of people either work or have an interest in the little running dogs. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
