squab 2,875 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Always had intrest in this cross. The correct greyhound to a solid working type whippit with balls make some action packed dogs.

hender 39 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Mines turned out good I'm very pleased just had her first season switched on to the lamping now , a lot of prey drive , really good nose and a very loyal dog. She's not a first cross though both parents were whippet x greyhounds , i've heard people say they are not very intelligent i don't know about other whippet x greyhounds but mines on the ball definitely not thick.

I think they learn to use their gears a bit more over time mine was full speed on every slip at first now she controls it like you say , keep us updated on how yours turns out mate over time. 1 Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,097 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 If there anything like my whippet stags,lightning fast and highly driven,suicidal when young,I'd try and pick there runs and hold them back a bit till there mentally mature and they settle into a fast.excitng but more careful worker.I'd really like to own one. 1 Quote Link to post
