[steg 609]

 

My auld bitch..15 year's old this may (riddled with arthritis bless her!) Bullx whippet/grey back to whippet/grey. Got her as pup from a place called Flint. Nice all rounder. Fur feather and loved to swim across rivers. Photies may work and probs be small if do (mobile)

The ideal whippet for me would be one that's nowhere near me when I'm working my dogs the skin skinned shivery useless fukcing lap dogs ........

Trev70 has a really good one - surely that would cut the mustard for any self respecting lurcherman?

I wouldn't know mate I have never seen it work ... However I wouldn't run another mans dog down anyway no matter what I thought of it .........

I love whippets ..but i wouldn't own one , i had a bitch on slip , ten terriers started yapping under cover 150 yards away and shes starts cart-wheeling , so i un-clipped her her lead and held her under my arms and we got a run...struck me later that i'd just had a longdog capable of rat to roe ( pre fecking ban ) under my arms ! vary handy and vary odd - how many lurchers could you pick up ? and they look so ' innocent ' if you get a pull

How many have seen a Whippet in the flesh work? There's going to be good and bad..

 

Mine is a fraction under 21tts, this midget has a nose on him like a springer, enters all types of cover put In front of him. No yapping, no shivering and a beautiful retriever to the hand. I will add that no retrieving training was given to him. He's steady, nimble and sharp with a take off that is always a joy to watch. Without a doubt the first 150yrds is owned by a whippet. They can put most dogs to shame when it comes to turning its quarry.

 

Great little dogs that can, and will pack a punch, they will work for you all day in any cover taking minimal injuries always trying to please.

I have the very same experience with my whippet dog and just to add when brought out ferreting mine and a couple more I've seen, seem to have a sixth sense when working with ferrets or bushing dogs regarding where the next bolter is coming from. Very good noses on them and I think SOMETIMES what people mistake as nervousness is actually a very high sence of awareness. It's like their senses are on high alert most of the time

In short for a running dog thats so easy to keep and lives off an extra small scoop of nuts more then a terrier they deliver the goods when it comes to rabbits and a pleasure to watch. I owned a collie x years ago. Brutal for the daytime rabbiting due to his stalking rabbits and a very poor ferreting dog because if you brought him to a place where a rabbit bolted and hit the cover before he caught it, he remembered that piece of cover and would spent most his time watching it, Im talking about even a week after it happened. He didn't have the same take of or turn of foot as my whippet so missed alot of bolting rabbits on tight ground. I would never have another but that's just down to my personal experience. Point I'm trying to make is.. We can all see or own a bad one of any breed and then write them off in our heads when truth be told there are alot of very good collie x dogs out there. I will try find pic
