Penda 3,341 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I've run a lot of types stick to dogs with bull in I've got a 3/8 5/8 pup at the moment a whippet cross and a saluki grey Alsatian grey a lot of the land I run your dogs need to be up and at them the quarry can shift and there's a lot of small type fields 2 Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Over the last five decades,...I have owned most hybrids,...and walked out with many different types belonging to my fellow hunters,... Truth is, I have loved them all,...some better than others obviously, but,.. in the main,...I just enjoy seeing dogs doing,.. what they are meant to do... Personally,...I prefer, a Greyhound or Whippet based running dog type,..crossed with a Herding dog...(dare I say it),...The ubiquitous Greyhound x Collie.. I was introduced to such a beast as a child,...and inevitably, I always returned to the fold,.... Edited May 10, 2017 by Phil Lloyd 11 Quote Link to post

neems 2,406 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I like the agility and off the mark speed of whippet crosses,not so keen on the paper thin skin but you can't have it all. 1 Quote Link to post
