Tall Whippet

[Sirblessed 2,511]

I have owned 5 pure bred whippets over the years and as many whippet crosses. The pure one I got pts last month was 22.7 tts. Great great rabbiting dogs, the only reason we cross them at all is to give them better feet (and stamina not that they need it if fit) for the hard ground here.

 

My old whippet and my new pup (9mths 22tts)

Never seen a pure whip over 20 it's and at 23 tts there's got to be something else in the mix. That's just my thought

I've had a fair few whippets over the years, only two not being kc reg. The smallest I've had, a bitch, was 20 1/2", not kc reg. Other bitches 21" and 21 1/2" tts, kc reg. The dogs I've had were all 21-22 1/2" tts, all kc reg. And they were about before mick brown was breeding his SS line of dogs. A mate of mine also had a kc reg dog of 23" tts around 20 years ago too, so they aint that rare. Tall, big, or tall and big whippets have been around for many many years.

And AshR1 dog looks a typical cracking whippet to me
