i had none ped whippet  bitch in the 80s , and was very easy to train , she bring back rabbits in the lamp , and quite biddable  little dog, she was 20in  20lb    , she got on to her rabbits quick no prob . the whippet in my opinion  is the most  biddable of all the sighthounds , ok nothing like the herding type xs    collie xs   gsd xs etc   , but really how clever as a dog got to be to just catch a poxy rabbit  lol

My lad has a cracking whippet bitch at moment, just over 13 months old now I think,  that is recall trained with one of those variable pitch whistles. Couple of quick toots of it and she's back in an instant, even with his other older lurcher around.

He might see this thread later, but he doesn't come on here that often anymore

Lot to be said for a rabbit ray

Trained my beddy whippet to recall to an acme 211.5 whistle. I made sure the whistle meant something fun, like a flirt pole or throwing a tennis ball. I fed mine on the whistle too. Didn’t take long for it to click
