Bull Whippets

[trenchfoot 4,243]

I've had a half x. And over the years have seen a few at work. They are great pesting dogs, and mugging any game around cover they excell. But as true all rounders they are to be found lacking. Enjoy your dogs lads, I know I did mine

Which would be more practical for all round field work. A frist x, or a 3\4 x. Or is it down to personal choice. Interested in hearing others thoughts on it.

I'd go with 3/4 as I think it gives that bit more pace and turn compared to a 1/4.

It depends on the dog , I've seen my first cross let a 3/4 dog sitting , really depends on the individual pal

[jetro 5,349]

For me its the frist x. That's just personal choice, but for me it has that added bit of punch, which I like. Which is the main reason I have one. I work very small tight fields here, so speed or long coursing is not really needed.

As sully said it really depends on the individual at the end of the day.

and a 1x bull x whippet will get up to them no prob , its take off speed you want for small fields , my 2 dogs catch quiet well , on small fields , and if my big dog pick rabbit up easy , deff a 1x bull x whippet can . plus you get better wind with a 1x . it would be my 1st choice 1x bull x whippet as knock about little dog/companion , something for the future , i like pits and whippets , had both

Would it be the same daytime though ray..With the lamp we have the advantage..Day time they do..Take of speed is very important to me.befor you no it they have hit the hedge..Good terrier and a nice whip x for rabbits birds and the odd something else is spot on..

[tb25 4,627]

Talking the day time moocher that is..The faster the better.rabbit thin on the ground..Your lucky the dog sees them before the hit cover..A good nose.speed and aliitle cunning is what's needed and the bull whippit has this..No doubt..Always said the bull offers more that strength and jaw..But for me 1/4 anoth

To be honest tb25, I have a pure whippet for the rabbits. She had an unbelievable take off speed for the rabbits in the small fields. I have the bull\whip for foxex mainly, and rabbits. Hr hopefully will have no problems with them.
