j1985 1,984 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Iv always thought a bull beddy whip or bull wheaten whip would be an awesome bushing dog for round my neck of the woods! Pre ban on the fox an munty they'd have been real handy. Quote Link to post

Busher, don't get to hung up on size, its speed you are after and anything thats well bred for speed will have a high catch rate, every bitch (runner) I've ever owned has been fast, this bitch now is quick but with stamina to burn and with lurchers its not an exact science,the more thats in the mix then they can go to any breed in there, my mate from Crew put two 19" whippets together, I took a dog pup for my mate at 7weeks,they all looked level and the one I got my mate turned out 29"TTS,the rest of the litter were 19-20inch, most decent lurchers that get out bushing regular will soon anticipate where the quarry will bolt and not much gets away, my only advice is don't get anything smooth coated for this type of work unless you are a rich man, good luck, WM Quote Link to post

Plucky1 1,119 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Its feet were rubbish but he could catch hares,there was obviously some greyhound in the mix to get the larger dog but you could not tell looking at the parents,I took my mate back to see him with his dog when it was about 18months old and even he was at a loss to explain it because the lad I got it for had lost a whippet from old age and just wanted a replacement for the kids but it was like DIGBY the worlds biggest dog,Lols,WM 1 Quote Link to post
