When you own and hunt a Whippet it is often best to be honest,they are a fantastic mutt at what they do best and a very poor 3rd choice every other time. Quote Link to post

Thats the major trouble with Whippets waiting for something in their scope to come into focus or something in their weight zone. Quote Link to post

Morton I don't own a whippet or anything similar but I've seen a couple with very big hearts especially non peds a lad I'm out with got a bitch that surprised me when I seen her doing abit more than rabbits. spot on , i had none ped bitch and she was great at rabbits day/night , she was only 20in 20lb , when she got old a hare , but as she was soft mouth the hare would pull her around a bit lol . Now the males down the track , they were different ball game they were 22-23in up to 34 lb tough/strong little buggers and you could see the staff in the head in lot of the males , as none ped had staff and grey in there gens few yeas back . now these kill foxes and take few hares in the day , but in the lamp they were very good deff . but like been said they could never hack the work load/terrain like a good lurcher can, But if you want litte dog for in the house and bit of fun day/night the none ped whippets are great little dogs 2 Quote Link to post

arcticgun 4,548 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 seen them ran as a pair and they where very effective on hare and fox , the hares became beyond their abilities soon as the winter kicked on a bit, but they good for the odd ones and when they do its some achievement, game little dogs, many will punch above their weight if allowed 1 Quote Link to post

trenchfoot 4,243 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Great little dogs that given the opportunity can punch above their weight. But they don't weigh very much. 2 Quote Link to post
