Kieransingo 256 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 This is a bull whippet with a touch of kelpie, not thick set pretty racey. Defiantly got the whippet take off tidy animal that, nice feet too, shame its hasn't got more coat, belter none the less cheers bud, she looks black in pictures but she's a dark chocolate.

That's a wee belter pal, looks like it should make a nice powerful but racey dog Quote Link to post

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) The gamest lurcher I've seen was a first cross Bullx Whippet. However he lacked pace if it was a long slip and although he would roll about with a fox forever he didn't seem to have the weight behind him to totally see off the game. Edited to add he was also the best terriermans lurcher I've seen for marking holes etc. Edited May 2, 2016 by Rabbit Hunter Quote Link to post
green dragon 701 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 the only thing puts me off the bull whippets for me they do lack the power and size of a bullgreyhound I'm not sayin that can't do the job but I'd rather have it over quickly t than have my dog rolling around forever not haveing a pop just my opinion atb Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 If you read I said 'however', meaning they were bad attributes. With a heavier dog the job would have been done easier and quicker. Quote Link to post
green dragon 701 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I suppose its the ground/how you hunt like you said around the holes they'd be very handy. I imagine they could make good catch dog if running dubbled up is how you hunt Quote Link to post
