The added Greyhound in your pups should help with that. Good luck. Tbh he doesn’t lack in regards to the killing part however I would agree in regards to speed he would lack a bit on a long course but the work we do it’s very rare he gets a long course pal 1 Quote Link to post

Do you think it will just jump in to your bag? I've done plenty of daytime Roe mate, I'm talking from experience not just making shit up. 1 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 That's not the way I intended it, if you read it in contrast to the rest of my post, I was trying to get across that the dog had heart in abundance, but his weight/height let him down and that was an example I used. 2 Quote Link to post
C.green 3,231 Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 I wouldnt be too happy with an experienced dog in that situation doing anything less than quickly flooring it. I get what rabbit hunter is saying good hearts on the little dogs but they cant get things done quick enough for me too much fuss. 4 Quote Link to post

The lad who had it used to like me going out lamping with him, just because my lurcher could catch them no problem and his lurcher would then see some work. What did you want the lurcher to do with a dug fox ? Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Chase and catch it when it jumped out the dig, all pre Ban. 1 Quote Link to post
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Like all crosses you get good and bad. What most bull whippets have in abundance is heart and drive. Not dogs for long slips for courses but the ones I've seen all excelled at mugging game and vermin of any kind. 7 Quote Link to post

Why would you add whippet to the bull if they no good for running? Just curios Quote Link to post
