mswarbs 64 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi All, My bitches season has sprung up on me and I want to get her covered. Ideally looking for a Whippet X Greyhound. Whippet size rather than Greyhound, 20-21" would be perfect. Many thanks Matt Quote Link to post

Think you'd be hard pushed to find a whippet x greyound dog that size. Most first cross dogs I've seen, have been 23 - 25 tts Edited August 1, 2018 by shaaark 1 Quote Link to post

Not much killer instinct but doesn't bother me for what I do Well if you only bother with rabbits, I'd definetly go for a straight whippet. That'd be my choice. And if she's already in season, you'll probably have a greater chance of putting a whippet, over her. Some cracking whippets around at moment. Have a look on the 'whippets, coursing, racing, working' thread. Cracking dogs, and some good knowlegeable owners. Good luck fella Edited August 1, 2018 by shaaark Quote Link to post

Not much killer instinct but doesn't bother me for what I do It’s been suggested a straight whippet, it would deffo help keep the size down which you say you are after. With so many breeds in the mix I think a grew would give you more chance of throwing bigger pups with the greyhound influence from the grew combined with the deerhound and greyhound influence in your bitch. 4 Quote Link to post
