rabbitman1234567 21 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 hi what would you put over a whippet greyhound bitch to get better feet on them and bring to size down to about 22 inches but they much make good ferreting and lamping dogs Quote Link to post
wuyang 513 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Could be an uneven litter height wise depending on what you use.......you must have something in mind because there is so much you could use.......and how big is the bitch?

shaaark 10,714 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I've never seen a whippet/greyhound with bad feet to be honest with you. I'm talking about working dogs, don't know too much about race bred types though. Alot of whip/grey bitches are around the 22 -23" mark anyway, what size is your bitch? Quote Link to post

trigger2 3,137 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 what about a collie/whippet if you can find one. should help the feet and add a little coat. 2 Quote Link to post

Collie whippet or terrier whippet (wheaten or beddy) and pick a smaller pup from the litter. Quote Link to post

Moja 111 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Small collie based cur preferable little splash of saluki, you'll have all the speed you need so something a little more robust 1 Quote Link to post
Blueboybilly 164 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I've got a Whippet Greyhound Beddy and she has had issues with her feet when I have ran her hard. Can only speak from my own experience. She is a good dog though and I would definitely have a Beddy x again! Quote Link to post
'sully' 1,119 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 We had a whip hound bitch maybe 5 year back , the best Lurcher I've ever seen, worked everything and I mean everything , she was wicked fast but got injured a lot due to bone , her feet were good but I believe Wheaton in the mix would be ideal.

Neal 1,857 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Completely agree with morton above. If I had a dog with bad feet (and I do) then I wouldn't improve the next generation by mating her to a dog with better feet; I'd improve the next generation by not breeding from her because of her bad feet and look elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to post
